What is really in the McDonald's products?

There are many different items on the McDonald's menu, from hamburgers, to sides, to ice-creams and cakes, I am going to pick one item and talk about what the corporation actually decides what to put into the food that you pay for to put in your body. Some of the ingredients may shock others while others may brush it off and continue eating the McDonalds 'food'. I'm going to talk about the 'classic' hamburger, the first main product of McDonalds. McDonalds say that there hamburger meat is 100% beef, when they say that, they are correct, they do use 100% beef but that means that they can use any part of the cow, its all-beef but only certain parts are the good parts. Recently it’s been said that some of the restaurants have stopped using the 'pink slime' in their beef. Most of the cows are feed using CAFO, Concentration Agricultural Feeding Operation, which is very bad for the cows, it makes them sick, meaning it could possible make you sick, and I bet you didn’t know that. In the bun of the hamburger there is ALOT of ingredients, just for one simple bun? There is about 20-30 ingredients in the bun but I will just give you a rough idea of what is put in. For start the wheat flour is BLEACHED which is unnecessary, ammonium chloride which is also used in fireworks, ammonium sulphate which is used commonly as an artificial fertilizer for alkaline soil and another ingredient is fructose corn syrup, which doesn’t have anything natural in it, it’s all processed. If so far this hasn’t turned you off having you your next McDonalds hamburger, I'm not too sure what will. Credit to First Last youtube channel.
