    Yeah, probably containing parts of the animal most people wouldn't be willing to eat if they were aware of what which parts they were eating, let alone how the animals were raised, let alone the unsanitary conditions in which they are slaughtered, let alone the different ways the meat is processed.

    Man I need to draw a line in the sand.

    I'm force feeding himself isolated protein. I made it to 20g yesterday. It should be 50- 70g or more (for me it should probably be 70+). I'm on my way to 40. My goal is to make it to 60g today.

      @wtg I would note that, though all of us here happened to be relatively blessed, and not to get all serious about a topic in the mystery meat genre, but I don't think of this as a "1st world country." Mass poverty, mass dug addiction, mass food insecurity, mass homelessness, mass incarceration (to put it gently), mass poisoning of the food supply chain, 3rd rate "healthcare system," abridgent of the freedom of speech, abridgent of the entire First Amendment, abridgent of the Fourth Amendment, mass surveillance, and inflation moving at the speed of a runaway train are not giving me the impression of a "First World."

      Just food (sic) for thought.

        It's an RSS (rib-shaped sandwich).

        "McRib" is just another in a long series of cute names that incorporate the "Mc" part of their name. Chicken McNuggets, McPlant (non-meat burger), McRice (Indonesia).

        @wtg I have enjoyed the formerly named Crispy Chicken Sandwich at McD’s. Then they changed the name to McCrispy, which I refuse to say. Haven’t had one in a while.

        McRib, fine with pickles, skip the onion. Haven’t had one of those in a long time.

          I have to admit I don't frequent fast food places, haven't for years. Last time I was at a McDonald's or Wendy's was in the late 1980s. Mr wtg used to like an occasional Whopper Jr and I went along to be sociable, but it's not my thing. Tried a Culver's fried walleye sandwich during COVID and was totally disappointed.

          When we go out for fast food, this is our destination:

            @wtg My favorite fast food place is Wendy's but we don't have one nearby. When I go to Tilton--20 minutes down the highway--for the big box stores, there's one there.

            Once-in-a-while I'll get a McDonald's 2 cheeseburger meal but not for the quality of the food, for nostalgic reasons. Fond memories attached to my first visit to a McDonald's when I was in high school.

            The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

              @Bernard Does Wendy's still do the baked potato with chili? I used to get that. Or the salad bar, which back in the 80s was really good.

              Totally get the not-great-food-but-very-fond-memories thing. My Dad and I used to go to this place.

              The ice cream was served in cubes. Here's the scooper:
