No. It means not having to eat shit.

Believe me.....you're eating shit....amongst other things.

That stuff isn't shit. It's nutritious and shouldn't go to waste.

I bought one the other day for old times sake, and after not particularly liking it after a few bites I started taking it apart and eating it that way.  What I discovered was I hated the bread, hated the sauce, hated the onions..... and thought the meat was quite good and tasted just like ribs.

So go figure.

Its basicly dog food disguised as a rib

Not only that, it's called "Restructured Meat"

McDonalds uses BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES to get the public to buy their crap, and it works!

If anyone else made a rib product that didn't come from a rib they'd be shut down by the FTC and possibly even the FDA, but good old McDonalds has a slew of lawyers and lobbyists that let them skirt the law as they see fit.

Many of my friends won't eat at Asian restaurants because they'll truthfully list the ingredients in some of their meals, and some of the products turn off most Americans... but the same shitheads that complain about 'innards' being used in Asian meals will go out and scarf down McRib and any other McMeal that the corporation has them BRAINWASHED into eating.

Pay attention to their commercials. You'll notice they market heavily to a certain segment of the population.

the things you mention ARE meat. It's not too long ago that things like that were eaten regularly by people like you and me. I still eat organmeat occasionally.

The idea that we should throw that away is just so sad to me... I mean, why? You CAN eat it, obviously you have in the past, it doesn't taste bad, it IS meat (organmeat). So just because it's an organ it's filth and garbage and should be thrown away? What kind of sad ubercapitalistic world do we live in???

if you want to eat ribs, go to a restaurant and order ribs. I don't know why you would think the mcRib would give you the same thing as actually eating ribs, but that's a different story altogether...

But the things you mention are meat, and food, and should not just be thrown away because people have completely lost their connection to what it means to kill and eat an animal.

I agree and have no problem eating organ meat.  Some types of organ meat are actually pretty good.  The thing is McDonalds is trying to pass of the McRib as being made from something that most people think is a premium product, and it's not. 

It's flat out false advertising/representation.... except that they put a notice in tiny tiny letters that indicate that it's only a patty made in the shape of a rib.  If you don't have coke bottle type of glasses, you'll never be able to read that fine print though.

He must not each much ethnic food either, because other cultures (meaning many non white cultures) still eat all that stuff.  Mexican, Chinese, Black American, Vietnamese, etc etc. 

I don't eat it, but I don't freak out when I see coworkers eating it!

When I read your posts I can't help but to read them in the cadence of the surplus store owner in falling down.

my boyfriend can get really icky about it. One time I suggested that we eat liver for dinner, and he got all "ew how can you eat that"... not realizing that he's been eating liversausage on his sandwiches since he was a kid (and the thing is actually called liversausage...surprisingly he never made the connection that it was made from actual liver :p)

I think people have gotten way too detached from the food we get on our plate. If we feel comfortable eating meat, then we should be able to deal with the fact that it comes from an animal, instead of pretending there are trees out there that grow unrecognizable patches of red food.

They call it rib but it has no rib meat.  False advertising!

So? A hamburger contains no ham.  Hot dogs do not contain dog.  Country-Style pork ribs are sold in nearly every grocery store in the south & mid-central states.  Everyone knows it is cut from the pig's shoulder and is not actual rib meat.  btw, they call it a McRib, not a rib sandwich.  Anyone with enough IQ to dress themselves and safely eat with a fork realizes that it is a formed meat patty.  As for containing organ meat, a common saying about pigs is that you can eat everything but the squeal!

Yet somehow McDonald's through their marketing genius get people riled up once a year to eat a diarrhea sandwich forgetting that its a diarrhea sandwich cause it only comes out ONCE A YEAR.


They create demand and mystery to a sandwich that isn't even fit for a rabid toad. It's horrible.

I guess their marketing is so effective that it even stirs the passions of its critics.

I with you on this, Chris!

I had one once...years ago...pretty nasty.

Especially after eating good pork ribs and BBQ in Alabama.

I need to try some North Carolina BBQ sometime.
I hear it is excellent and different from Alabama pork BBQ.
