He says its not about the fat. Its about un-natural amounts of natural compounds (hormones, that your body already has) that fake your body and effectuate permanent changes.
Not what I was buying into with my $0.99 burger purchase!!!
I sort of found out about the hormones and poor certification processes a few years ago. It was very depressing and has to be one of the worst thing that has ever happened to the "munchies". It forever changed my outlook.
About a year ago, I heard that McDonalds came out with a press release that said something about them no longer buying their meat from US ranchers or buying less meat or something. Their REASON was that due to the FDA's strict standards, it costs them too much to purchase meat under these standards? If this is true then where in the hell do they plan on purchasing the meat? Anyway, if you want to research the press release, be my guest.
As of a couple of years ago, my understanding was that the FDA inspects less than 1/10 of 1% (I think it would look something like this in a decimal form ".0099"). Our FDA regulations and testing approach is one of the most ridiculous of any country in the world. I think Japan inspects almost all of the meat, in addition to having to pay to import the meat. (I don't think they have enough dirt to raise cattle cost effectively.) Huge difference in their approach, to say the least.
Again, if this subject interests you ck out the Mad Cowboy. He was on her show the day that she pissed off all of the cattle ranchers. They even sued her. It was a firestorm.
I can't wait to sink my teeth into a Hamburger without hormones...
