The term “food expert” seems rather redundant. We’ve all eaten plenty of food in our time, so at what point are we allowed to call ourselves an “expert” on it? Apparently, you become an expert when you repeatedly refer to food as being “rich,” which is exactly what these “food experts” did when they were unwittingly served McDonald’s rather than the high-end organic cuisine they were expecting.
The following video, which sees Sacha and Cedrique from Lifehunters attending an organic food fair in the Netherlands equipped with a bag of McDonald’s burgers and McNuggets highlights just how easy it is to be branded an expert these days. With comments from the attendees ranging from “it just tastes pure” to “you can tell it’s organic” and “if it were a wine I’d say it was wine,” the video isn’t short of a cringeworthy moment or two.
Watch it below (you’ll need to turn on subtitles):
There’s nothing wrong with a McDonald’s every now and again, but we’re allowed to say that because we’re not organic food experts. Clearly the difference in taste between the two isn’t as apparent as we’ve been led to believe, if this video is anything to go by.
Now, pass us a Big Mac.
