YES. I don't think they even use real beef and such.
Also. They are advertising to kids too much. With the toys and the happy meal. And to working parents who can't be arsed to cook. Then the kids grow up on MCDs and then they eat it when there older and feed it to their children.
It's a never ending circle.

Working as an environmental scientist you go to a lot of industrial sites and the security at the plants where they make the 'cheese' for McDonald's has tighter security than military bases and plants where they make parts of nuclear bombs. No joke.

I only agree on this debate from the perspective than additives and preservatives and trans-fats can kill people with horrendous degenerative diseases wreaking havoc on Society.

There should be ingredient labels on EVERY food product which is sold: Even fast-foods.

I think that the government should regulate how the food is produced and limit the salt and other additives as well as fat. This would make it so that even if you chose a fast food place it would still be a healthy choice. This would help people that are on to run all the time as many of us are now.

I Think Perhaps McDonald's Should Say What's Actually In Their Food And Maybe Stop Falsely Advertising
I've Noticed That What They Advertise And What They Cook Are Two Completely Different Things

They may be unhealthy, and I am not going to eat there that much but, it created a lot of jobs.

Anyone who stuffs unhealthy food in their face deserves what they get, McDonald's doesn't force anyone to eat there and the whole ignorance argument is laughable.

If you don't like it, don't eat there, just leave everyone else alone who does.

Although I'm totally against transfats I have to admit that McDonald's is essentially giving the public what they want. That in itself doesn't make them evil.

Are they ubiquitous, cheesy, poor restaurants? - Oh of course. But the food choice doesn't make them evil.

The one thing they do which could persuade me otherwise isn't about the food but instead about their name. They have a long rich history of suing anyone and everyone with McDonald in their business name (to protect their branding). Often brand protection is legitimate but when they sue people actually named "McDonald" who are literally just using their own given name I think that's just wrong. They even had a major legal battle with some historic clan leader in Scotland I believe where the name McDonald originated and both were fighting over who could legally use it. My name is not McDonald but I'll tell you if I was sued and told I couldn't name a small business after myself I'd be just furious.

Skinny people eat McDonald's too. If some people have the habit of going for the same thing day in day out it is their behavior at fault and their own dietary choice. Drugs are banned it doesn't stop people abusing them.

McDonald's is a symbol for several concepts people resent. From what I've read about the corporation itself, their policies reflect more integrity and social awareness than most.

They change packaging, ingredients, and menu options to more environmentally friendly options and healthier choices. They open stores and offer jobs in chancy areas most chains avoid. They promote from within the company, and the CEOs aren't draining funds for personal luxuries. They sponsor many worthy charities.

When most corporations were caught up in buy-outs, mergers, and take-overs, the president of McDonald's was asked why his corporation remained aloof. He said something to the effect of, "We have 10,000 bathrooms to keep clean. We don't have time for tom-foolery."

I know he did not use the word "tom-foolery" but it would take too much time to find the exact quote.

McDonald's gets a bad rap.
