General Discussion / Jamie Oliver and McDonalds
Last post by muddy - July 08, 2026, 08:42:31 AM
Just read this.
I don't go to McDonalds but I did when my grandchildren were small

'McDonald's loses lawsuit against chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is unfit for human consumption because it is highly toxic.
Chef Jamie Oliver won a lawsuit against the world's largest fast-food chain.
Oliver demonstrates how hamburgers are made.

According to Oliver, fatty cuts of meat are "washed" with ammonium hydroxide and then used to fill the hamburger patties. Even before this process, the TV presenter says, this meat was unfit for human consumption.
Oliver, a radical activist chef taking on the food industry, says:
"We are talking about meat that is sold as dog food and then served to humans. Aside from the quality of the meat, ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health." Oliver calls it "the pink slime process."
In another initiative, Oliver demonstrated how chicken nuggets are made: After the "best parts" are selected, the rest—fat, skin, cartilage, eyes, bones, head, feet—is subjected to a mechanical separation process called "Canica"—a euphemism used by food engineers. This blood-pink paste, which is deodorized, bleached, refreshed, and re-colored, is then coated in flour and deep-fried. It is typically fried in partially hydrogenated oils—in other words, toxic substances.
The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an antimicrobial agent, allowing McDonald's to use meat in its hamburgers that is unfit for human consumption. Even more alarming, however, is the fact that these ammonium-hydrogen-based substances are considered "legal components of the production process" in the global food industry, with the approval of health authorities. Consequently, consumers will never know what substances are in their food.'

How can anyone with a conscience market this toxic substance as food for children ?

I live near the battlefield. Shane the place you visit is apparently a few miles away from the real site.

https://www.google.com/search?q=location+of+battle+of+bosworth+incorrect&newwindow=1

For centuries, historians and the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre mistakenly believed the 1485 battle occurred on Ambion Hill. Groundbreaking archaeological surveys conducted between 2005 and 2010 revealed the actual site is located roughly 3.2 km (2 miles) southwest of the hill, straddling the historic Fenn Lane.

The true battle site was pinpointed through the discovery of the largest collection of medieval cannonballs in Britain, a silver-gilt boar badge worn by Richard III's supporters, and lead shot from early firearms. Unlike the elevated, dry slopes of Ambion Hill, the actual battlefield is a flat, marshy area situated near Fenn Lane Farm.

While the official visitor center remains a great hub for historical information, the physical clash that ended the Plantagenet dynasty took place in these adjacent farmlands.

Prince Harry ( and the rest of the money grabbing celebs)  has lost his privacy case against the Daily Mail .
The legal fees of this battle are enormous .
Somewhere between £30-£50 million .
Where will he find the money I wonder ? 
And why didn't his lawyers advise him against this case ? 
They must have known they had no evidence of wrong doing .
I wouldnt like to wake up to his legal bill .
Maybe King Charles will bail him out .

The story of how they found the remains of Richard 111 is fascinating .

A wee bit of an overreaction IMO.  It's not always what is said, but how it's said.  Hopefully she'll rethink.

I believe you could be right there, Muddy.

Quote from: Mups on July 07, 2026, 10:40:34 PMI didn't know that, Raven.
That's a shame.

That was her last post Mups, I remembered reading it a few days back. I copied/pasted it.
Hopefully she'll come back.
