Okay, let's get facts straight. Almost everything you said was wrong. Refills are free, apple pies are 2 for $1 and cokes areáabout $1. But you do have a point about the beef, sort of. It IS 100% beef! There are no worms! But what is beef? Beef is ANYTHING from a cow other than bones and a couple of other assorted parts. Basically that 100% beef is stomach, liver, brains, heart, muscles, skin, eyes, and guts! Why does McDonalds do this? Think about it from this perspective. It costs you $200 per cow (this is just an example). Normally you would only get about 150 pounds of actual meat, less the organs. Just for reference, all hamburger has skin and muscles in it. Or you could have 400 pounds with all of the organs legaly allowed. This is done commonly to save money. It is legal! Figure it this way, you can get more meat for the same price and it isn't going to kill you! Really, can you blame them for saving money? This though does not save you money beacause they are always going to be the same price for a burger. A Big Mac costs you about $2. It costs them about $0.25, a quarter! That is so stupid! Oh yeah, Taco Bell also has "100% beef". Taco Bell also adds some soy mixture to its meat to save money. I have never been to a Taco Bell that said 100% beef anywhere. Also, have you ever read the Taco Bell sauce ingredients. It says "natural ingredients". This can be anything that is natural. ANYTHING!!!! I do don't like McDonalds but I prefer it over Taco Hell!
