  • McDonald's is like Scientology...

  • Whoa.. He wrote Chew on This?! That's awesome! Most my my classmates were going crazy over the book o.o Strange... Oh well....

  • People need to read his book. This report is rediculous and one sided.

  • It's thanks to his book and the fact that the british public hate animal suffering that McDonald's have reduced their horrible things.

  • You dan tell that this is biased because McDonald's would never allow someone in their kitchens like that at 0:57 if they were going to be criticized.

  • Definately bias! At least Eric is brave enough to stand up to a multi billion dollar corporation! He is trying to educate the people! I think if people opened their eyes and "lifted the viel" then we wouldn't have this global problem. Also, I know plenty of people who complain about working at the MacDonald's and how low the pay is and how poorly they are treated! Everyone should "Open Their Eyes"!!!

  • Who don`t like McDonald`s...SUCK MY ASS !!! >:)

  • @heroicman03 Brilliant.

  • shitty "food".

  • He's doing what he accuses McDonalds is doing - advertising to children. Yes, he is educating them about health. The biased slant was just revealed right there.

  • @emerson24 I think your a bit mixed up, I'll explain it from what I know he has said previously. In his opinion, McDonald's is marketed a whole bunch of ways (sports teams, commericals, etc.), but bringing McDonald's advertisements into elementary schools to target 3-9 year olds is just plain unethical. If there were no ads, but parents still took their kids to Mcdonald's then fine, but influencing bad food to kids leads to health problems.

  • @west336699 I agree. I don't think I clearly stated myself. I am even confused at my own statement. I agree, to target kids in schools is essentially unethical simply because they can not comprehend that decision of constantly eating that food. It would be like letting a kid just cross the street without ever teaching him to look both ways.

  • It's rather simple. If anyone sides with McDonalds for being healthy and treating animals humanely, they are beyond stupid and don't deserve your time to debate.

  • Why is Tabaco so badly viewed when Mc Donalds is worse?

  • Eric rocks. McD's sucks.

  • Why is McDonalds so cheap and powerful? They have their hands in politics. Always have.

  • you're a fucking retard

  • @Lyingaboutmyage :O i always wondered that too.

  • eric schlosser is a tosser thats all i have to say

  • Provided, its a person's CHOICE to eat fast food, but IT'S NOT much of a choice if that's all they can afford or REAL FOOD isn't as available as Big Macs.

    But as Morgan Spurlock said, "Where does Corporate Responsibility end and Personal Responsibility begin??"

  • And McDonals says they sell nutritious stuff like fruits and salads. But the salads can pack as much fat as a Big Mac and NOBODY I've seen go all the way to McDonald's so they can order a damn salad! Salads are available everywhere!

    And look at the Hamburger Bill! Making it illegal to sue a company for putting out a product that contributes to someone's bad health.

  • Russttu, you've no common sense. Obviously, you've never slaved for a company like McDonalds. Ever hear of the Ray Crock Law? That was socialism endorsed by the US government so McDonalds could profit off of children rather than having to pay adults a living wage. This country was a single income family nation, but thanks to companies like this, it's impossible to support your kids with just one job, unless you happen to manage a McDonalds. Your economics sucks. But I wish you well.

  • All you Schlosser nuts fail to grasp that the simplistic romantic viewpoint exposed by him and Pollan will lead to increased food prices and increased unemployment. Maybe each of you should take a look in the mirror and then you will see the person who is truly responsible for the obesity epidemic facing the western world. Don't blame McDonalds because of your inability to keep your fat ass out of the store.

  • Don't even mention the corn fed cattle and the amount of anti-biotics that go into your beef. I'm a healthy individual who is disgusted by McDonalds practices and influence in the political landscape of the world.

  • im sorry cows

  • GO SCHLOSSER!

  • OMG!!! I can not believe how pathetic this is. If anyone here has read the book. You would surely know that this video is completely biased!!! They were totally sponsored by McDonalds LOL..Please people read the book and then you will create your own opinions about what you eat! & I'm not saying this because I care about you, I just believe we should all be educated and smart about this.

  • @ydalmig: Gruesome facts about some people's favorite fast food restaurants are presented in the book. Fast food is not welcome in my diet. I don't want shit in my meat.

  • were is this farm?

  • ugh he spit in it

  • it's kind of a bad idea that they're interviewing this guy at the farm. he even says he's worked with McDonalds for years. he probably has to claim these things because if he doesn't, his job is at risk.

  • Working with means he has a contract to supply them with beef. He is not a McDonalds employee.

  • Never said he was a McDonalds employee. Please don't take my words the wrong way, or read them more carefully.

    He's not going to speak poorly of McDonalds because he makes money from them. That's all I was alluding to.

    Why would he say anything badly about McDonalds, or the meat itself, when his job would be at risk, he would lose money, and his main consumer, McDonalds, would stop/slow down his profit altogether.

  • Maybe, just MAYBE he isn't saying anything bad about them because he doesn't have anything bad to say? Just a thought,

  • watch our mcdonalds video

  • i work there! Its bad some of the stuff that goes in

  • vallah

  • u should all watch my vids search tim3child watch spiderman 4

  • POOP in the meat? I don't think so.... Factory farming? Definately NOT -

    Go Vegan - save your body :) Save the planet!

  • hey hitler was a vegetarian too - let people choose their own lives, stop bossing them around you eco sissy moron.

  • mcdonalds isnt the most eviromentally friendly restauraunt. however it is good, so my best advice is to limit what you eat there

  • i like big mac

  • please do not eat mcdonald's!

  • 2nd part woulda been nice, my only complaint is all the shitty packaging, a brown paper bag would be fine, do we really need a little cardboard dooda to hold the cup as it topples anyway. It's all the ignorant fuckers that chuck it outta their vauxhall corsas that I want to lynch.

  • that is sssssssssssssooooooooooooooooo­ooooooo ffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccckkk­kkkkkkking cruel why dont you servere yourselfe in a big mac insead of cows and chicken

  • feinstein?

  • yes feinstein

  • keep posting stuff like tht man

  • Fuck giant multi-national, faceless corporations. I just finished reading Fast Food Nation...and just started reading Jihad Vs. McWorld, by Benjamin Barber. Im only a few chapters into it but its an amazing book. I recommend it to anyone whose genuinly interested in Capitalist Consumer Globalization and the ramifications of it.

  • personally, i couldn't care less about the animals..

    but don't bother watching..

    its just a seven minute long commercial.

  • So you're a scum bag.

  • how?

  • DAMN DAMNITY DAMN DAMN!!!!!!!!!

  • Fast Food Nation is an awesome book. I encourage everyone to read it, and watch supersize me. Both important to understanding fast food.

  • Besides airing McDonalds commercials, TV SPECIFICALLY MAKES PROGRAMMING AIMED AT CHILDREN. Children overdose on TV as badly as they do on McDonalds food. It would make sense if Eric Schlosser attacked television and said that everything on it aimed at children is bad. But he knows the public would not stand for such change, and wants to do it over time so we won't notice by starting with Mcdonalds. Everything changed, good or bad, is being changed this way. I believe this way is immoral.

  • and i don't know why people put this stuff on tv over and over. most of them who watches it are still probably gonna go there to eat

  • omg the people make themselfs fat by going to mcdonalds over and over! it's not mcdonalds' fault! i like mcdonalds but i'm not fat. i know it might be the truth but im sick of hearing it

  • i find the mcdonald's tastes good (I'm not fat... I'm actually kinda underweight) but I gave up eating mcdonalds completely after I saw "supersize me"

  • ah my god it is so bad the burger pattys are falling half falling off and it tastes like shit

  • Schlosser es un chingon como reportero, su libro fast food nation esta lleno de verdades al hablar lo que pasa detras de los restaurantes de comida rapida, te habla de las cosas buenas pero tambien de las malas, tambien habla de como han cambiado nuestra salud, cultura y trabajo, con decirles que en mi vida me vuelvo a comer una hamburguesa y he cambiado mi alimentacion quitando la carne por completo, por favor lean el libro, te dejara asombradisimo.

  • There are so many poor people in the world, so McDonalds look heaven.

  • thats really true...but thats no excuse to eat poorly

  • axam

  • TOTAL PROPAGANDA. Boycott McDonalds....

  • I too work at McDonalds... Don't eat at McDonalds, the food is crap.

  • i work at McDonalds..DO NOT EAT IT!

  • dont eat mc....it killz earth !!

  • Don't eat McDonalds it's poison.

  • mcdonalds are fucking filth and should be outlawed, who the fuck would feed their children spinal chord in a bap?

  • i was eating McDonalds while watching this. lol!

  • Hahaha haha hahaha! You're funny!

  • it tastes good but its bad for you

  • this is propoganda seriously

  • fuck those anti-fast-food-diet-freaks. go eat ur carrots and non-tasty foods and leave us, people who want to enjoy the good things life have to offer, alone!

  • "This cows will become BigMacs". Thatz the most horrible thing you can show in a video.

  • don't bother watching it it's just a McDonalds commercial.

  • Vocês americanos são uns otários. Nunca serão gente, bando de porcos

  • i want my 7minutes 43 seconds back into my life i wanted to see the debate not the stoopid ass video about wdf is going on well yea nice vid would of been tight if the debate was included

  • You need to see part 2 that's the debate write McDonalds vs Schlosser2

  • WHY DO YOU EAT THERE THAN SHUT THE FUCK UP!I love McDonalds!

  • Yes southendvipers, they do spit in the burgers. and often it depends just on the workers mooods, so u have no control over it as a customer. and uve seen those cogs behind the mcdonalds counter sweating away, and working their tails off...their not happy workers.

  • Note: this is all from the British perspective. Of course the beef in Britain is going to be produced more naturally than in the USA because of the whole mad-cow disease scare a few years ago. I hope they will do this same sort of interview in the US---I doubt they would be able to say that most Mc Donald's cows are treated humanely here.

  • i have a question if anyone can answer this , do people actually spit on the burger and sned it to the custermer

  • I knew a loser who spit in someone's food. The customer looked and saw what was there. The guy got fired. I like McDonalds because I know that that filth happens everywhere. I guess the thing to do is always check your food as best you can wherever you go and never order a drink that is not self-serve(though they could spit in the soda fountains if they want to get everybody). By the way, we've all drank spit and didn't know it.

  • yes, but he focuses on mcdonalds in the book

  • He does talk about the whole industry though. He talks about how Jack in the Box has dealt with the E.Coli problem of years ago by improving cooking and production standards, etc...

  • Wow. Good Thing I have never eaten at McDonalds. Does what he says go for all fast food resturants?

  • Schlosser's book is excellent but he's lucky he hasn't turned up in a happy meal. Look what they tried to do to Oprah!

  • Yeah, MacDonalds is a restaurant....

  • Must be nice living in a country with actual journalists.

  • Dude, never ever go to McDonalds.

    In the end, its just another fast food chain poisoning society at its very core.

  • such propoganda. my friend worked for mcdonalds once. said it was the worst job. low pay, high stress, he got bad case of acne from frying. and it is common practise to spit into burgers (only for shitty customers usually). watch out if the order taker calls for a burger "mix". also apparently McD's has a scheme where they promote "control freaks" types (power hungry a**holes) to become managers. next time take notice of the guys with the golden arch ties...lol

  • Someone spitting in your burger is the least of your worries, obviously.

  • Eric Schlosser is an amazing author. I read the book. It's awesome, and very informing. I reccomend it to anyone.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=d4VppDM8atk

  • fuck the mother focker

  • go Schlosser!!!! keep talking about the real mcdonalds!!

  • Actually in Canada alot of beef is supplied by the American Company IBP (this information is available in Fast Food Nation). So I wouldn't consider McDonalds in Canada safe either.

  • schlosser is a sleazy opportunist

  • "Super Size Me" movie is a horde of crap. Mc. Donalds just sells food that stupid people buy, the ones that have a metabolism that cannot stand the food, should go eat somewhere else.

  • McDonalds is evil!!! If you eat at McDonalds you deserve the clogged arteries you get!

  • Eric Schlosser is absolutely correct. He has changed McDonalds and their deceptive ways. McD waited for five years to face him because they thought they could out PR him like ant good coporation but people not only bought the book, they agreed. McD has killed a lot of ignorant people and made children fat.

  • I expected the cows to start talking like in Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, saying how much they want to be slaughtered and eaten. LOL!

  • I vote for Schlosser

  • Anyone stupied enough to eat the crap that Mc Donalds sells deserves to die a horrible death.

  • what is the tune that comes in around 1:30 ish ive wanted to know for ages, please help!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's called "Little Green Bag" :)

  • "little green bag" by george baker selection

  • In my opinion,the problem is that we all try to pretend ourselves thinking McDonald´s food is better in our countries, there´s no difference, it´s the same shit.

  • The guy in this video reminds me of that dude (max?) who's the news presenter in Mr Deeds.

  • The thing with this is the UK and Canada are PHENOMENALLY different than the US. Here in Canada, we get Canadian beef (mostly Alberta grown beef I believe). The UK obviously doesn't have a problem with meat as shown in the video, but in the US, I believe it's a different story. There hasn't been anything quite like this to show the US's side of the story.

  • McDonalds in my Country tries to balance out by introducing salads, corns, apple slices, Green Tea drinks, which i find that mcdonalds are concern abt what we eat and in turns how it reflects on them, i think.

  • I want to thank you sir for facilitating a mature debate between these two opposing viewpoints. It is for the benefit of the public that you brought them together.

    As an American my only concern is that much of what the McDonald's representative explains applies to McDonald's food in the U.K. Here in the U.S., obviously, their food quality and production methods are quite different.

  • Good point Smutsboy, I often wonder about the difference from country to country when it comes to animal rearing.

  • n/c i hate mc donald...

  • I just watched all three sections. What a great debate. Both sides conducted themselves professionaly and maturely. Well done to both sides - nice to see 'grown ups' discussing things without being childish and shouting.

  • For the interview have a look at the following links:
