Extra treat at McDonalds

the thing is fish can contain worms...it can't be helped, it's normal

Do fish have worms (parasites)?

All living organisms, including fish can have worms which are considered parasites because they feed off of their hosts. Because their presence occurs naturally, the worms are not considered contaminants. Worms are as common in fish as insects are in fruits and vegetables. Worms are not a concern in thoroughly cooked or commercially frozen fish.
When cooking fish, it should be cooked to heat all parts of the product to 145ºF or above for 15 seconds.
Worms become a concern when consumers eat raw or lightly preserved fish such as sashimi, sushi, ceviche, and gravlax. When preparing these products, use commercially frozen fish. Alternatively, freeze the fish to an internal temperature of -4°F for at least 7 days to kill any parasites that may be present. Home freezers may not be cold enough to kill the parasites.
The health risk from parasites is far less than the risk from "unseen" illness causing bacteria which are present on almost all foods.

In the summer when I fished for smallmouth bass in the Spring river in Arkansas the bass had worms.

It was only several weeks ago that we last had a gruesome story about some horrific entity present in a McDonald's "meal."

I said something like: "Give it a few more weeks and there'll be another story about something disgusting found in a McDonald's meal" and I was attacked by a few people.

And now we have this thread............

Honestly, I don't know why people eat at McDonald's. Even when you don't find chicken's heads, someone's finger or a worm in your McDonald's "meal" all they are feeding you anyway is the waste products of a butchered animal (the hoof, tail, nervous system, bones, eyes, brain etc), along with vegetables which taste like they've been kept in someone's sock whilst they've been running a marathon in 90 degree heat, all served up between a bap of poor quality, cheap bread.

yes that's fairly accurate

could be placed on the deadly foods list which is why their sales are plummeting, those days of eating this way, starch, fat, and salt are rapidly fading

When you divide the # of atrocities like this by the # of meals served you get a fraction of infinitesimal proportions- probably less than your chance of being killed crossing the street and I would bet possibly less than that of so called reputable restaurants! -
