comming from a family of cattle ranchers, we would call 16 cows on 160 acres a waist of land. if your 160 acres can only feed 16 cows, then you bought very very pour producing land and you might as well give up as your paying more in land tax than its worth. on the flip side, if you can convince some customers to pay 3 times more for your cattle by saying that there better with these numbers then you might be able to make some money.

but ya, generly Canadian beef is the best you can get, and if you want to go another step further, alberta AAA is about the best in the world, and yes there is a difference between alberta and the lower class stuff BC tries to pass off as good beef.

but as for McDonnalds switching to anything other than canadian beef, nope they can't due to gov regulations. they do however use american cheese slices as there is no regulation against that. But my McDonnalds days are all but over due to Five Guys Burgers and fries opening up in kamloops.

We had one open up this summer in Sherwood Park, this company really knows how to make a burger! If you want lean meat go elsewhere, if you want an awsome (fat is what provides meat with flavor) tasting burger and are willing to pay a little more you can't beat 5 Guys. Even the fries are really good, and after they put your pack of fries in the bag they throw a bunch more fries in the bag just for good measure. Bring an appetite!

BAG FRIES??? Tell me there is a franchise somewhere in the GVRD

This one is not an urban legend, they admitted it's true and have since removed the ammonium hydroxide. Enough said. A company that is willing to save a buck to do that, doesn't get my business.

This is FDA approved in the states, not Canada. The US allows a whole lot of crap to be added to their foods in the states that Canada does not and you won't know who is using what. You'll probably have to avoid any US franchises I guess. On an odd note however, I would avoid using anything that contains "edible oil products" on it. I took this to mean vegetable oil but I was at Suncor one day looking at a list of products they make and guess what was on the list....

If you think 5 guys is good, wait till you try Burger's Priest in Toronto (Yes, we do have 5 guys here, it's not even remotely comparable). ;-D It's one of the hottest burger joints around these days.

Hmm, i get macdonal'ds on a fairly regular basis... almost every school morning I get a sausage egg mcmuffin. If its very late at night, i'll get either their crispy chicken wraps or the mcdouble. But yeah I thought it was canadian beef used. Obviously the 'beef' part used is all the cuttoffs that aren't suitable for steak, ribs, or typical 'ground beef', but its still 'beef' I guess.

Trust me when say we will noy eat the crap from rotten ronnies.
I realize it helps local farmers if they can seel to this place but we my family & myself do not consider the crap from rottens to be of any quality.
However when I used to blaze alot I thought it was pretty good but then again so were 7.11 chilli dogs....
ok ok I still enjoy those 7 e dogs when I'm in the bag. Lol

LOL... you think that is bad?... You have no idea what goes on in the meat industry.... ever hear of needling?.... Do you ever wonder why cheap meat from Costco is often tender and tasty?.... Trust me, you really don't want to know. I used to work in the food industry....

McDonald's actually has some of the highest standards with quality (food supplies) and food safety. They have to, with the business they are in.... You should worry a lot more about what you buy at T&T or Costco...., and what you eat at some of the small restaurants...
