Yelp disables comments on the McDonald’s that hosted Trump after influx of one-star reviews

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/22/yelp-dis...sited.html

“The fries were too salty as if someone who lost a major election had been crying over them for an hour,” read a one-star review posted Oct. 21.

LOL

According to many news media, including WAPO:

 "The restaurant was closed to the public during Trump’s visit, and the motorists whom Trump served were screened by the U.S. Secret Service and positioned before his arrival. No one ordered food. Instead, the attendees received whatever Trump gave them.


Trump was at the fry station for about five minutes and spent about 15 minutes at the drive-through window, much of it taking questions from reporters."

I also read with interest that today in the US there has been an e-coli alert related to McDonalds Big Macs.   One person has died, so it's serious.

Not the Big Macs! What a catastrophe!

Years ago around the time the first McD's came to Queen St, I worked for Drake International as a headhunter and the South African area manager used to call me Big Mac, in an effort to get a rise out of me. He didn't know I had been raised by a Scot who was a master at the teasing game. But I have had a soft spot (my mouth) for Big Macs ever since...

Preferably without a side serve of e coli!

 E. coli O157:H7 is a strain of E. Coli that is promoted in the gut of feedlot cattle which are a common source of 'ground beef' in North America. Feedlot cattle consume a diet high in grain which lowers the pH of their gut environment which can present as acidosis and is favourable to the growth of that E. Coli strain. The risk then is of faecal contamination during the milk or meat processing with lower grade meats such as that used for ground beef being at most risk.

Due to the ability of E. Coli O157:H7 to survive low pH digestive environments it is also able to do so in the human gut, unlike most other E. Coli strains, so becomes problematic when meat or dairy is contaminated with it leading to potentially very serious food poisoning. For this reason food production systems in the US are very strict on the likes of food handling and processing to minimise risk of contamination. Raw milk is heavily restricted and minimal cooking methods of high risk meat such as ground beef and 'rare' steaks is dissuaded, including by way of regulation.

Press release says it was the onions.

Blame the vegies?

Whatever it takes to deflect attention away from that country's toxic cattle farming methods I guess
