Don't those fast-food restaurants steam off every bit of flesh from the cow and turn it all into those burgers?

Lol, please tell me you didn't type all that from the top of your head! ;-)

Do you know who the primary suppliers are, especially in the UK? KFC have a sole supplier, McD's have at least one major one i've found. Nowt on BK tho...google isn't coming up trumps on that one!

i think you will struggle to find one supplier as iirc each burger king is an individual business. its all just a franchise so they will source whats cheapest to get to their own unit

They use 4000psi pressure washers to strip it from the bones.

That's very doubtful indeed. Though they are individual businesses a franchise is not that free in this regard. It is often a condition of their franchise licence that they use this or that supplier because they are approved suppliers. Just like a Whitbread publican is not free to sell whatever beer he feels like selling.

No I honestly didn't, I don't watch much TV. It was just a rather unpleasant fact I knew and which makes me think twice about eating low-quality meat. :puke:

Read 'fast food nation' if you want to hear the dark side of fast food. It's a pretty interestin read regardless of one's standing on fast food.

As howard said, franchises are often very tied to certain sources. In a lot of franchise models that source is the franchise owner (as in the real owner, not the one that only runs an outlet or ten). It's another way for them to make money in line with rising revenue at the outlets.
