Rant: People keep calling the Arby's roast beef 'fake' and it drives me nuts

I see this all the time online, folks saying it's not real meat or it's 'mystery meat.' I looked it up, and Arby's own site says it's 100% USDA-inspected beef, cooked for hours. It's just sliced super thin, which gives it that texture. Why do people spread stuff without checking first? What's the weirdest fast food myth you've heard?

Yeah, the "where did that rumor start" thing is key. I got into it with someone about chicken nuggets once. I just linked them straight to the USDA page on what can be called "chicken." Sometimes you gotta hit people with the actual rules, not just the company saying it. It shuts down the "they're lying" argument real fast.

@hugo_hayes exactly right, I had someone swear the McRib wasn't pork until I showed them the actual ingredients list.

But where did that rumor even start?
