And it has to be from a random store location, made by employees who didn't know who it was for, so you're getting exactly what random normal customers get.

That goes too far! Do you want our Hard Working CEOs to be poisoned?
Kinda

If they are the type to poison random people... Let me think...
Yes !
Your own company's product*
hasn't burger king already started doing this? also, mcd got a lot of free publicity from that. wouldn't be totally shocked if it was setup.
Yea, people in those positions might be out of touch with reality, but to make that video and still release it after? They knew what they were doing.
The publicity McDonalds got was "even the people behind the food don't want to eat what they serve"
Any publicity is good publicity
Tell that to paul reubens
he dead
Isn't that easy? I mean, one time won't hurt you and a lot of it tastes good.
You know the backstory, right? It was really difficult for the CEO of McDonald’s. He couldn’t even pretend.
I don't, gimme :3
Main points: "product", not burger, the tiny bite, the look of disgust, and the lack of finishing the damn thing. He tried again and people pointed out he pulled a "wipe my mouth while spitting the 'product' into it" move.
"Ahhh... I swallowed some of the juice! I'll be tasting that for weeks!"
I sort of read him more as terribly awkward and definitely not ready for a camera. He felt like YouTube unboxing video in 2010.
I think many people saw the imperceptibly tiny nibble he took as general discomfort toward the product.
And also how he talked about the product not as a food item but as a product, like there waa some abstraction between the fact that it can be eaten and the purpose of selling it.
It's like they told him seconds before that it was edible, and he didn't believe it buy kinda played along by taking a tiny bite.
Being the CEO, he knows exactly the quality of beef McDonalds uses. Would you eat a burger if you knew how many diseased cows were in it and how much antibiotics were used?
I don't think he knows anything about it at all except that it's made for the poors.
There are so many layers of separation between the CEO of a company like McDonald's and where their ingredients come from.
I don't claim to know anything about how the corporate structure of Mcdongos works, but considering this is the first time most people have seen the guy; he isn't exactly some sort of figure-head for the company. Which makes me think he probably does actually have a real job. That would absolutely require him to know where they "Source" their "Product."
Maybe it was cold? Gun-shy? Get him a hot product, watch him shove it in his mouth. Hot steamy product, yum yum.
I'm sorry, that sentence shouldn't exist.
Succession had a nice bit about one of the rich guys eating normal people's food to get ready for prison. What tastes good for you does not necessarily taste good for people using personal chefs for every meal.
It might, and not really
I just came up with a new idea. What if fast food companies are only allowed to sell food which their CEO and every board member have eaten every single day for a month straight. They didn't die of a heart attack? Guess it's not too unhealthy for the market, slap that new burger on the menu.
Nobody is marketing fast food as healthy
They also do not market it as toxic
And it's not toxic, so that checks out
TB uses many ingredients known to wipe out the gut microbiome. Gee...colon cancer fastest growing cancer under 50...wunder why
When you eventually get sick because you ate too much fast food in your life causing heart failure, clogged arteries, kidney failure, obesity with it's health issues, diabetes or other issues caused by eating the products from fast food chains, how is that food not toxic?
The meat used for fast food in the USA is by European regulations considered as toxic and is not allowed to be sold.
Same goes for some vegitables used.
So it's a matter of perspective when it comes to regulations. Things can be allowed as long as the toxicity level is below a certain standard, like cigarettes and alcohol for example. But that doesn't mean it's not toxic.
The definition of toxic:
toxic adjective
- harmful or dangerous to health or life when taken into the body; poisonous
Fast food is harmful to health, therefore it is toxic. Just like cigarettes and alcohol.
Just because the EU regulations are more strict than that of the US, means the quality of food in fast food chains in Europe is of a higher standard than in the US, but still it isn't non-toxic as it can still cause life threatening diseases when consuming too much over a period of time.
Subway?
I think Taco Bell did at one point
That is definitely not true.
The McDonald's CEO eating their new burger showed me that motherfucker has never even eaten a hamburger, period. He didn't even know how to hold it; shit was like watching an alien.
That man's face needs to be studied. It is incredible.
Would you eat US fast food if you know exactly how it was made?
yes
The last time that I ate fast food was a few years ago and it was McDonald's oatmeal -- it seemed they could not find a way to mess that up. Otherwise, fast food is just over-priced low-quality preservative-filled garbage food that will leave you hungry in a couple of hours. My partner and I usually stop at a grocery store, Kwick Trip, or a non-drive through restaurant if we need to get food while traveling. The price is about the same (sometimes less) and the food quality is much better if you choose your stop carefully. Fully agree that the C-suite of these companies need to eat their food regularly. The fact is that fast food is engineered to make you want more for the lowest cost to the company possible.
leave you hungry in a couple of hours
Not Mickey D's. I'll eat 1 of their super tiny value burgers and feel like I ate way too much food the rest of the day. I can eat a burger 3 times bigger I made at home and not feel bloated and like I overate. IDK WTF they put in their burgers, but it's not natural or even of this Earth.
Next task: spread the profits between everybody in the company equally
Joshua Wiseman collaborated with a couple of brits on fast food and they were rather favorable to most of it.
They all admitted it was less healthy and had 'chemicals' but was more flavorful
