Would people who eat (and feed their kids) junk food from places like
McDonald's care if the ingredients were slopped together with Chinese slave labor? Just curious. |

I haven't eaten in McDonalds in more than 20 years. Ditto. I did buy my mom a milkshake at McD's after we visited my father when he was in the hospital. (The price of a small chocolate shake nearly sent my mother to the hospital!) But nope, eaten "food" from McDonalds in at least 20 years. Probably closer to 30. Jill |

It has been about 25 yrs since I ate a Big Mac or any other burger at
McDonald's. I have had breakfast burritos and biscuit sandwiches, but not very often. There are too many Mom & Pop stores and local chains that are much better than McDonald's. Becca |

After posting that I remembered that I stopped at stopped at one McD's drive thru on two different occasions, both being hot and humid summer nights, to get a milk shake. One time I placed my order and was told that the milk sake machine was out of order. Someone told me that they say that at night because they don't want to have to clean teh machine again. The next time I waited more than 10 minutes before getting to the window only to be told that the milk shake. The *******s. If they were going to lie about the machine not working so that they wouldn't have to clean it, they could have just told me that when I ordered instead of making me wait. Come to think of it, that was close to 20 years ago. I had not eaten there for years before that, and have not been back since. |

"For labor and for meat" Nice. McD customers buy chineese crap at walmart to save a nickle. If I were the type to eat from a drive-thu window, and could get it for a quarter cheaper, I probably wouldn't care if it were made of chineese soylent green, shipped over in invasive barnacle infested tankers. But, I'm not. I'll eat at a Mom amd Pop diner with roaches crawling on the grill before I'll go to a franchise with cartoon toys as part of the meal. B |

Well, you save more than a nickel, but you more than make up for the savings when the dumbed down products have to be replaced. |

Not to worry, in a few years, the Chinese will be buying cheap American crap to save a nickel - at Walmart. Ha ha - that'll show 'em! :-) > > But, I'm not.

With 100% of the workforce being cheapest Mexicans, the difference is quite moody. The only thing that is guaranteed is higher price because of high cost of running the business because of all the administrative costs in USA. |

Now, if 100% of the workforce were "cheapest Mexicans", what do you think would be the unemployment rate? >the difference > is quite moody. The word is "moot".

The word is moot.) Jill |

I think my Mac is made in China. It is 13.3", so it is not really a big Mac.

My job has been outsourced to some third world country. Competition is so great one has to compete against illegal aliens for a job cleaning toilets. I can't afford to get sick. I'm happy to work split shifts at three part time jobs. My student loan people are threatening to take my underwear for non-payment. I'm come home to my 58 degree heated apartment (the house was repo'ed) and I'm wondering if the utility company would actually shut me off. The cochroaches have left because the pickings are too slim. Beggers don't bother asking me. And you want to know if I'd want to save a quarter on my so-called Happy Meal? |

Being on a tight budget and /or lazy about cooking wins out over caring about nutrition and health. Similar mentality keeps the soda and candy companies in business. |

While I certainly did not buy anything there, I did check out the happy meal toy while in Beijing. The toys can be very cool, and can do very well on eBay in the US.

Also, that still doesn't mean that the ingredients themselves were not harvested with slave labor. In fact, we have that shit going on right here in the US esp. in places like central Florida. |

Hi, I've just finished reading all of your posts and thought I'd throw in my
2 cents. I am currently working in China. I've been to Mcdonalds here many times as it reminds me a bit of home (GRIN). The food is not slopped together. It is put together as well or better than the American version. The workers are not slave labor.They are young Chinese working on their first jobs just like many of did when we were younger. The food is compatable with that served in America. Take that as you will. Think the writer is just trying to get a rise out of everyone by China bashing. President Obama was just here and got one of the most (for me at least) positive responses that I've seen given to any American President. China has it's problems and is attempting to work through them. But so did we. I lived in Chicago during the riots of the 60's. China looks like that now. I have agreed with most of the tales of fast food woes as I have had them also. Just a few thought from someone who actually has eaten in a Micky D's in China.

JD> McDonald's care if the ingredients were slopped together with Chinese JD> slave labor? Certainly. No reason to assume that what you have learned about (that the food was made in China) is the only thing that matters. Most likely, there are 100 others, much more significant (such as, what is really in the food), only you don't know about them yet. More accurate question would be "should people eat the food made by big American corporation". |

No, I would never eat such a burger, and yes, I would be ****ed if I found out such. I would also worry about what might be in those ingredients since they would probably be from China as well. |
