No, the food really did taste better, due to the cooking process and the different ingredients that were involved.
For example, the fries were cooked in beef tallow; the meat they used was of better quality, and more nutritious. The bread was different as well—McDonald’s changed it again only a few years ago.
Or from which animal… More naturally grown meat has a completely different composition (also a much more elaborate texture) than the same meat from an animal quickly grown with a lot of growth hormones. But both are 100% beef.
i don’t see how that affects the nutrition of the beef. You can only mix so much fat in because it melts away when you fry the burger up. They aren’t using lymph nodes and such the FDA requires them to call out non meat ingredients. The beef doesn’t lose nutrients as the pieces get smaller. They weren’t using prime cuts in the 80’s, either.
Im not a dietician or a rancher, but not all beef is created equal. Being “beef” doesnt mean every cow is the same nutritionally. Its not just a ratio of muscle to fat that affects that. What cattle are fed, how they are treated/slaughtered, how much time they roam all effects the nutrients in the meat. I guarantee all of the above are worse in the cattle McDonald’s uses, even compared to the 80’s.
what’s available on google is not really agreeing with your proposition here outside of grain fed/grass fed, and even there the difference is slight and mcdonald’s was definitely never serving grass finished beef. Your guarantee is worthless, you’re just spreading baseless FUD. There’s plenty of real reasons Mcdonald’s sucks you don’t have to invent spurious claims about the meat.

Edit—Well, they’re changing their burgers again: wsj.com/business/hospitality/mcdonalds-burger-new-menu-2400d22b
None of the changes matter if the restaurant employees don’t give a fuck.
mcdonald’s has always used 100% pure beef in their burgers, it’s a marketing point. How is the beef less nutritious than it used to be!?
100% pure beef, yes.
Now, which part of the beef are they using?

chuck, round and sirloin trimmings, unless they are just lying I guess. https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/faq/what-kind-of-beef-does-mcdonald-s-use-in-your-burgers.html
What grade of beef trimming? What part of the trimmings exactly? What ratio of what trimmings, and how much fat is used comapred to the rest?
Lipton is 100% “tea,” but its also the sweepings left after all the good parts of the tea leaves have been filtered out and sold as different brands.
Thats what McDonald’s is doing.
