McDonald's has been accused of using everything fom worms to cow eyeballs in its  burgers over the years. Now, the restaurant chain is revamping its menu, getting rid of its high end salads and burgers.

McDonald's is getting rid of its Chicken Selects and Fruit & Walnut Salad, as well as considering the removal of Angus burgers.
The world's biggest hamburger chain also says in an emailed statement that it is "evaluating options as it relates to the Angus Third Pounders, and their role on the national McDonald's menu."
The changeup comes as the Oak Brook, Ill.-based company continues tweaking its menu, with plans to step up the number of limited-time offers in the year ahead. Most recently, the chain introduced its "Fish McBites."

Historically, the chain has been accused of using a variety of non-traditional ingredients, as shown below.

Unusual ingredients

Large companies have been the subject of rumors that they substitute unusual or unethical substances in their products, usually to decrease costs. McDonald's is not immune to such claims.

Earthworms

Dating back to at least 1978, the rumor claims that McDonald's restaurants use earthworms in their hamburgers.

Cow eyeballs

One belief is that McDonald's uses cow eyeballs in its products, permitting it to brand them as "100% beef". However, the USDA mandates that all beef by-products, including cow eyeballs, be appropriately labeled. McDonald's, has asserted that its products contain "100% pure USDA inspected beef; no additives, no fillers, no extenders." In addition, cow eyeballs are actually more expensive than the more commonly eaten cow parts, due to demand from scientific institutions for experiments.
A related claim is that McDonald's buys its meat from a company called "100% beef", making it possible for McDonald's to call beef by-products and soy products "100% beef".

Mutant laboratory meat

Around March–April, 2000, an Internet rumor spread via e-mail in Brazil claimed that McDonald's meat was actually made from a genetically modified animal maintained in a laboratory. The e-mail stated that "the few who saw it assure it is a very unpleasant sight: they have no limbs or horns, no bones (undeveloped cartilage instead), no eyes, no tail and no fur; its head is about the size of a Baseball; they are fed through tubes connected directly into their stomach".
The e-mail carries on saying that "some irreversible health damage can be done by eating this meat, resulting in diseases who manifest themselves in a way similar to AIDS, and have symptoms related to Alzheimer's Disease" and ends encouraging the reader to boycott McDonald's until it sells actual beef.

Pig fat

This rumor is that McDonald's uses pig fat in its milkshakes, ice cream, and fried potatoes. McDonald's provides complete ingredient lists for all of its products on each of its regional websites: this includes unidentified fats within the ice cream used to make soft serve cones and sundaes. McDonald's Australia, however, specifically mentions that "there is definitely no lard or pig fat in the McDonald's Soft Serve."This rumor should not be confused with the fact that McDonald's has in the past used beef tallow as its frying oil.

Choko pie

There is a rumor in Australia that McDonald's Apple Pies were made of choko, not apples. This eventually led them to emphasize the fact that real Granny Smith apples are used in McDonald's pies.

My Perspective
I can’t remember what the site was, but it was to do with the hundreds of thousands of missing people and the link to McDonalds Restaurant. It sickened me and I have not eaten fast food since then. It brought back memories of that movie Soylent Green, and I saw that movie years ago! Also, do some research into the CEO of McDonalds, this person has strong illuminati ties. We live in a sick and dangerous world. This article does not surprise me at all, I just feel sorry for all the people who still want to believe that these unethical and immoral corporations are looking after us. No wonder everyone is obese and sick with all kinds of cancer and heart disease. Too busy getting take out and watching American Idol to care. The state of the food chain now is that it is ruined and we can only make do with what we are offered because that is the way our society has now been structured, even the most stringent and careful person still has to deal with arsenic laden rice, GMO corn and wheat which gets put into even our basic food supply. I can deal with these things, but, hidden cannibalism in the form of these processed fast foods. Do not partake of this evil. Remember, It is the LOVE OF MONEY, that is the ROOT of ALL FORMS OF EVIL. Think about it, and be careful what you ingest. ♥
