This is not right!!!!!

Whether or not fast food french fries are health food is completely beside the point. People who are vegetarian for religious reasons may or may not be "health food" conscious.

Lie lie lie!!!

Why do people here have a problem with overlooked, overlooked, overlooked. How many people at mc d's are Hindu's on the R & D team I mean divout cow loving hindus.

Now if this was known by MCD's then you have a suit. But if it is just an oversight. You as a hindu or veghead should simply demand labling or removal of the products.

If you as a hindu eat cow meat by accident do you burn in he!! or is it just gross.

As for the eating sh*t. The FDA allows a certain amout of rat fecal matter and roach parts in their standards!!! so if you eat McDonalds you have already eaten sh!t. Should you now get to sue.

I hear these suits about chicken head or rat in the nuggets. and the people sueing over it. You know what if you don't get sick from it you have no case. Accidents happen even to big corporate giants. You try to produce several million burgers a day and see if you dont have some accidents.

Would you as a meat eaten merican pay attention to oil with beef flavor. Me I would think that beef flavor was like artificial vinilla fake not real stuff. Listen to the people who think this is frivolous do you think they would have checked to see if that bottle of beef flavored oil actually had beef. Some one dropped the ball Correct the problem and get on with life.

I wish they would go back to all animal fat deep friers man the fries of my youth ruled.

IMO,
There probably are not enough vegitable heads to worry about. Having good old fashioned fries would bring in the other resturants customers bye the ton. Let berger King have the vegitarians.

Does anybody here know about the Sepoy Rebellion? Native troops of the British East India Company mutinied (or revolted, depending on your point of view) in 1857:

Quote:

Historians like J.A.B. Palmer and John Kaye trace the origins of the soldiers' rebellion at Meerut, in which South Asian soldiers rose up against their colonial officers, to the Lee-Enfield Rifle. It was developed at the Enfield arsenal by James P. Lee and fired a .303 caliber ammunition that had to manually loaded before firing. Loading involved biting the end of the cartridge, which was greased in pig fat and beef tallow. This presented a problem for native soldiers, as pig fat is a haraam, or forbidden, substance to Muslims, and beef fat is, likewise, deemed inauspicious for certain Hindus. Thus, the revolt occurred as a reaction to this particular intrusion into Hindu and Muslim culture, and then caught on as a national rebellion.

There's some dispute about the root causes of the uprising, but none at all about the results: the Cawnpore Massacre, the Siege of Delhi. Thousand and thousands of dead.

You think a little bit of beef or pork essence doesn't matter? Maybe not to you. To some people, it's pretty important.

Hindus don't "have" hell, per se. They believe in reincarnation. If you eat beef, you may be reincarnated as a pig or a rat or some other lowly creature. What happens if you eat beef unknowingly or by accident? Should be some cosmic dispensation built in there.

I am asking from a religious perspective... What is the religious implication that is taught to members of the hindu faith. With reguards to hindu what happens to you if you accidentally injest cattle products of the flesh.

From another article...

Quote:

The company began calling the products vegetarian after it began using vegetable oil to help reduce cholesterol in the early 1990s, but the fries and hash browns themselves contain a small amount of beef flavoring added during potato processing at plants.

Quote:

Oak Brook, Ill.-based McDonald's said it was not required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reveal the use of beef flavoring, and that it didn't use the substance in fries sold at restaurants in India or predominantly Hindu countries

Epidemic · June 6th, 2002, 11:32 AM

Well there it is.

Now was it required by the FDA or not to reveal the ingredient as per the food an drug administration???

If not are they liable?

Warthog,
I didnt mean to make it seem like I was singling out McD. I admit all corps do it, the thing is McD GOT CAUGHT and therefore must be punished.
ILC,
Quote: McD's didnt lie
If they didnt lie they certainly didnt tell the truth. Cooking food with 100% vegetable oil is different from cooking with beef flavored vegatable oil.

By the way, the plaintiffs won, they PROVED to a jury (12 people) that McD was wrong. If 12 ppl can agree that a corp did wrong then it is NOT "rediculous" to accept the fact that McD did wrong.
