Adam never had 'em

According to the old saw, if you care anything about either sausage or politics, you should not watch them being made.

And having survived a stint at Mickey D's back when the Big Mac was a novelty, I can tell you that you probably don't want to know what's in a McRib, either.

A number of years ago when McRibs first came out as a "limited time" trial balloon, I bit. After the first bite, which was admittedly quite tasty due to the tangy sweet-sour sauce (not exactly what I think of for ribs), I knew after bite one that whatever it wuz it wuzn't ribs. As I recall, I swore never to eat another one, and since then have basically sworn off fast food altogether. Once or twice a year if I am experienceing loss of concentration and the beginning of psychotic episodes due to starvation, I will stop and chow down on a Big Mac and fries, or equal at one of the other burger chains.

There's no rib in a McRib? Next someone'll tell me there's no ham in a hamburger!

And nobody genuinely named McDonald at McDonald's HQ.
