"McDonald's in Canada answers the question "Why does your food look
different in the advertising than what is in the store?" with this
short behind-the-scenes video of a burger photoshoot by Watt
International.

It's no surprise that the food stylist would pick the best-looking
McDonald's ingredients and construct the burger more meticulously than
McDonald's would in order to better show what's between the buns, but
it's still interesting to see."

All fast food looks like crap.

Every time I see pictures of food in a restaurant I always think of the
movie "Falling Down".

In the US, it's perfectly legal to "enhance" reality and shoot pics
that are not even remotely close to what's being sold over the
counter. I can't find the link, but it's been discussed, here,
before.

I was disappointed to hear learn how little little pure fruit juice has
to be in a product for it to be called pure fruit juice. Call me old
fashioned or just plan naive, but I had been under the impression that
pure fruit juice would be just that.... pure fruit juice.

film.

We could always go back to the days of 'I Love Lucy' and squeeze our own
orange or grapefruit juice every morning ;)

Why would you want to squeeze the juice out of fruit for breakfast?
All the (albeit natural) sugar without any of the fibre or half the
nutrition, and making a mess along with it.

Seems like madness to me.

Just eat the thing!

We still do it a few times a year when we can find good juice oranges.
The varieties in the supermarket these days are more for eating as
very few people juice them.

Many years ago we used to do it very weekend.

Eating does not have the same effect as drinking during a meal.

Why squeeze? It tastes so damned good.

Fine for you, living in the south. When I was a kid oranges were a
treat. Anyone going to Florida for a vacation would bring some back.

Never the less, it is unfortunate that something can be billed as "pure"
when it is not.

You're right and more people would probably agree with you if it were
not for the fact that fresh squeezed orange juice is so tasty.

In the same way, once-frozen foods (meat, mostly) can be called
"fresh."

I believe in CA is has to be labeled "previously frozen."

Depends on the meat... the USDA permits poultry to be previously
frozen and sold as fresh but not other meats. Anywhere in the US if
your market is selling say beef that's been previously frozen as fresh
they are committing a serious crime and can be heavily fined, even
shut down.

The thing is that juice oranges and eating oranges are very different.

True. Interesting to note that a lot of the oranges used for juice come
from Brazil, but when the Florida orange crop get shit by frost or some
other problem the local shortage of eating oranges is used an excuse to
boost the price of orange juice.... made from oranges from elsewhere.


On a related note... there are a number of cherry orchards in my area.
They got hit hard this year by Mother Nature. An early hot spell caused
the trees to blossom early, and then things returned to normal and we
had a frost the blossoms died. Several of the local sour cherry orchards
will have nothing. Others are so sparse that the farmer's aren't going
to bother harvesting at all. The local sour cherry juice processor has
already posted notices that their prices will be increasing...
substantially.

Just like gas prices. Fast to go up (for any little reason), slow to
come down, no matter what.

Very different indeed. Very, very, VERY different! I can hardly
remember how closely related they are. Such a difference! Like oranges
and oranges, if you know what I mean.
