cut with soy. unfortunately, i think everything is heated in the microwave

after cooking. what a waste of grass-fed beef!

got a good chuckle out of thinking there might be something good for you

in a Big Mac afterall (but something had to sustain my husband all those

years :-). Also, back a while when I was surfing the web looking for

grass-fed sources I recall coming across beef sources from Brazil and

Argentina that were geared towards selling to restaurants. Sorry, can't

be any more specific on my sources than that.

Guess it was a rumor. I apologize if I offended anyone with my libel against

Mcs ;-)

Well, then, I guess the microwave is the main fault of their burgers. If

only they'd cook their fries in tallow and fry up their burgers right before

giving them to you, it would be pretty decent for fast food, and I'd probably

eat there if I were ever on the run and needing something fast.

According to their web site, it's 100% beef.
