If you go to certain countries like England, Ireland, and France you don't see the whales walking around like you do in the US.
You will see obese people, but unlike here they're not the norm.
Don't speak so soon.
The UK is close catching up with average Americans on the obesity scale. In fact, multiple countries are.
The UK/United Kingdom includes 4 countries; Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales.
Now what will begin happening is people will be walking into ANY restaurant and RECORDING the issue and (Possibly) pushing it to see if they can get the restaurant to "Cough up" some cash for "Hurt Feelings"
I agree with the poster who said "Cancel the order, walk out and never go back" I have done so before, never hurt me to do such.
Does a cheeseburger made at home contain less fat and calories than a cheeseburger from McDonalds?
There is only 1.6 ounces of meat in a regular Mickey D burger, ten burgers to a pound of meat. Then you have bread, a slice of [processed] cheese [food], onion, pickle and condiments...and a shedload of salt. I tell them to hold the salt, they actually taste better without it (in my opinion).
I'm guessing that a burger made at home is going to be more calories.
I heard that the UK socialized medicine system turns away obese people as well as smokers. So maybe obesity isn't viewed the same way as in the US where we have been brainwashed to be warm-and-fuzzy and where fat shaming is probably a hate crime.

The calorie content for most McDonald's sandwiches aren't particularly bad. It's the combination of high salt amounts in them, deep-fried potatoes and (especially) soda that render the meals so unhealthy. I only drink water when I eat out, and it makes a massive difference compared to when I used to years ago.
The article doesn't say, but were these the small cheeseburgers that come with happy meals or were these double-quarter pounders or Big Macs?
Do they even call them Quarter Pounders in England? Or the proverbial "Royale with Cheese" (Pulp Fiction)...or a 114 Grammers? 1/10th of a Stone Burgers with Cheese?
