Actually this concept about McDonalds being bad for you exists mostly only in America
Not really. When I've been in the UK I've seen a few McDonalds and everyone knows the food is bad for you. People there seem to be more aware than a lot of people here. And the few obese people I've seen in the UK were walking out of McDonalds. In the UK there's a whole lot more interest in locally sourced and organic foods. I've heard the same thing about Spain and France. Where people care about their food, they are in the know about the junk sold at McDonalds.
A lot of the junk additives that are allowed in food over here are banned in other countries. People wouldn't eat the fake junk we eat here.
All I know is my dog threw up after eating McNuggets. I would not give them to my child.
Well there you go.
Hundreds of millions of people have eaten chicken McNuggets and managed just fine, but your analysis that it must be those McNuggets that caused your dog to throw up, without any effort to isolate and mitigate other variables, therefore they cannot be fed to your children.
\And the few obese people I've seen in the UK were walking out of McDonalds.
UK has an obesity rate of 28%. Did you see almost 1/3 of the population exiting a McDonalds and decide they must be declared "few" as opposed to the 33% in USA?
I cannot support this bulls---. HAPPY MEALS are a treat for the kids once in a while, and to cave in and remove favorites off the kids menu is about as dumb as removing ice cream from Dairy Queen. McDonald's has already made a big mistake by switching their cooking grease to a "healthier" one because their french fries have been tasteless ever.
The 'Super-Size Me' movie that was out several years ago was nothing but fecal propaganda and I can't believe that people actually fell for it. Because I have never known ANYBODY that eats at McDonald, or any burger/fast food place, EVERY DAY. People can eat just as unhealthy in their own homes.
Soon I will stop at McDonald's for a Shamrock Shake, which I love and look forward to every year. Hope to Hell they still have it.

So true! Their fries aren't even half as good as back in the old days.
They used to be known for their fries being so good. No any more, not since they changed the cooking oil. That was NOT a smart move.

Their fries taste like ass now nothing tastes as good as it did back then. People aren't avoiding mcds due to calories it's due to taste!
I would also assume that a lot of parents would prefer not to feed their kids at McDonald's but succumb to the children's demands driven by the crazy amount of TV advertising the kids are exposed to. I don't have any children but my assumption is that most kids don't really care about the food. Kids want the toys and make sure mom and dad know it.
Not trying to be an apologist for McDonald's but I would think this would make it easier on parents who would prefer not to give their kids red meat and dairy every time the kids want McDonald's. Again not having kids I'm not sure how much pressure parents with young ones must feel to take their children to McDonald's but I would think saying no is akin to telling them they are never going to Disney World.

My thin, athletic child ate at McDonald's growing up and continues to eat at McDonald's. Saying "No, we are eating at home tonight." never elicited a negative response from my child.
Pretty sure McDonald's doesn't serve cheeseburgers. I mean, they have something on the menu called cheeseburgers, but they ain't cheeseburgers.
