Just to add a note: All Canadians that sell cattle at a livestock auction barn have to sign a paper stating that we do NOT EVER feed our cattle any part of another animal. South Americans are not required to do this as of yet. McDonald's has announced that they are going to start importing much of their beef from South America. The problem is that South Americans aren't under the same regulations as Canadian beef producers, and the regulations they have are loosely controlled.
They can spray numerous pesticides on their pastures that have been banned here at home because of residues found in the beef. They can also use various hormones and growth regulators that we can't. The Canadian public needs to be aware of this problem and that they may be putting themselves at risk from now on by eating at good old McDonald's.
IIRC American cattlemen have the same feelings towards Mc Ds unless something has changed.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
This isn�t a new venture for the company. McDonald�s joined with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in 2008 to make a commitment to sustainable land management. WWF did a �deep dive� through McDonald�s global value chain and identified beef, poultry, coffee, palm oil, fibre (packaging) and fish as priority areas where McDonald�s has the biggest sustainability impact.

I rarely eat fast food. But I did send some very pointed e-mails to McDonalds when the Steak Egg and Cheese Bagel started to disappear.

My sons & I are hooked on these like full blown crack heads. Absolutely amazing and yes, the dripping grease really is worth licking the paper wrapper after you're done.
