Once in a while, a small McDonald's hamburger will settle my stomach if I don't feel well. Weird but it helps.
Otherwise, I try to avoid any fast food. It's not easy with little kids, but we try!
Does Subway count as fast food? I love that place.
McD's does seems to have a hangover cure patented.

Completely turned me off fast food, like turning a switch - and trust me when I say that I was no stranger to Burger King. (Or Wendy's and Taco Bell. Never was a huge McD's fan)
I can't recommend it enough.
Yes, I didn't eat McD's for about a year and a half after reading that. Still only eat it when I travel for work, and I'm not sure where else is decent.
Burgerville is about the only one I can stand anymore if I don't have the stomach flu. Maybe Taco bell if I've completely forgotten why I made the resolution to not eat there the time before.
I much prefer to prepare my own food than eat out anywhere.
But, when I head into civilization for my twice monthly shopping trip, I always go to Jack-in-the-Box for an order of 2 for 99 cent tacos. They are so not like a real taco. They are in their own class of crispy cheesy spicy satisfying junk food goodness.
I haven't eaten any other sort of fast food in many years.
Love McD's cheeseburgers and I have a hankering for a Filet-o-fish now (because of that crazy funny mounted fish commercial). But I only get to McD's a few times a year. Thank god.
Too many bad incidents ranging from whole cockroaches in my Big Mac at McDonald's to my last incident of bleach poisoning (sour cream) at Taco Bell over two years ago. I do hit up Starbucks a lot though and occasion Popeye's every three or four months. It's healthier avoiding them anyways.
I love Wendy's and we have a local chain here, Zippy's.
My boyfriend loves fast food and is constantly getting stuff from Mcdonalds or Burger King. I can't believe how SMALL the burgers are, but still they pack in the calories. Also, I have been spoiled with really good fries at work, so I don't love the fries there. Still....I will eat WAY too many fries if put in front of me.
Not especially but they have their uses like if you are in a real hurry.
We often have about 10 minutes to grab something before we go to the theatre and fast food does come in handy. I do avoid it if I can though. It is much better in the US as you do have a lot more choices, some of them healthier than others. Here in the UK it is pretty much Mc Donalds, or Burger King/KFC in bigger cities. And that's it. And neither of the above appeal a great deal I must say.
I dream of a fast food restaurant which would serve nothing but Japanese food, soups and salads. That would be something I would truly appreciate.
