McDonald’s: Debunking the Myths and Defending an American Icon

McDonald’s: Debunking the Myths and Defending an American Icon
By Bobby Darvish - darvishintelligence.blogspot.com

As an Iranian-American ex-Muslim, Christian conservative, and now a shareholder in McDonald's stock, I feel compelled to speak out against the baseless myths surrounding this iconic American company. It’s no secret that enemies of America—particularly the globalist Red-Green axis of communism and Islam—have been hard at work trying to destroy the reputation of American businesses. They know that to undermine the strength of American capitalist and constitutional republic imperialism, they must first attack the symbols of American success, like McDonald’s.

For years, conspiracy theories have circulated about McDonald’s food, with outrageous claims that its fries are filled with toxic chemicals and that its burgers contain human stem cells or even human DNA. These accusations are not only absurd but are part of a broader attempt to vilify American capitalism and freedom.

Let’s start with the claim that McDonald’s fries are made using “toxic chemicals.” This rumor likely stems from the fact that McDonald’s uses certain preservatives and additives, like dextrose, to maintain the appearance and texture of their fries. Dextrose is simply a sugar derived from corn, commonly used in food production and completely safe for consumption . Another myth is about the use of dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent in the oil McDonald's uses to fry its products. While the name sounds complex, this compound is used in tiny amounts and is FDA-approved . It’s also used in a variety of everyday products, from cooking oils to contact lenses. Claiming that these are “toxic chemicals” is a distortion of basic food science designed to stoke fear .

Now, let’s move on to the even more bizarre claim that McDonald’s burgers contain human stem cells or DNA. This conspiracy theory has been widely debunked. The idea likely originated from a misunderstanding of how food is tested. Sometimes, trace amounts of human DNA (from hair or skin) can be detected in any food processing facility due to simple human contact . However, suggesting that McDonald’s intentionally adds human stem cells or DNA is completely false. These claims have been investigated and disproven by both food safety experts and regulatory agencies .

These myths are not just about McDonald's—they represent a broader attack on American capitalism and our way of life. The Red-Green axis, made up of global communists and radical Islamists, seeks to destroy American businesses because they understand that American companies like McDonald's represent more than just a brand. They represent American values of hard work, innovation, and individual success. By tarnishing the reputation of companies like McDonald’s, these enemies aim to weaken American economic dominance and, in doing so, chip away at the foundation of our constitutional republic.

McDonald’s, like other American companies, is a symbol of American entrepreneurial spirit. As a shareholder, I see the impact that these false narratives have—not just on the company, but on the broader perception of American capitalism. We must stand firm against these lies and defend the institutions that make our country strong.

The smear campaign against McDonald's is part of a larger war against American capitalism. The globalist forces of communism and radical Islam know that if they can erode the public's trust in iconic American companies, they can undermine the economic engine that powers our nation’s influence in the world. For these globalists, capitalism is a threat because it promotes individual freedom and self-determination—values that stand in stark contrast to the collectivist ideologies they champion.

McDonald’s is more than just a fast-food chain—it’s a symbol of American success, ingenuity, and resilience. As a proud shareholder, I reject the lies that have been spread about this company and will continue to support American businesses that embody the spirit of freedom. The enemies of America may try to destroy our reputation, but they cannot break the will of a people committed to liberty and prosperity.
