Everyone's got it wrong.
Yes, it's unhealthy. But what fastfood resturants arn't? McDonalds has been doing a lot to help cut down on the fat content. Look at the menu, they've taken the initiative to put salads on the menu, to give kids the choice between french fries or apples.
Nothing is done to the food to make it addicting anyways. Its agreeable to the stomache and people like it, that's the only thing.
McDonalds is a fast food resturant, if you don't like it, then don't eat there. Don't complain about it either. If you want something healthier then don't go to a fast food resturant.
End of story.

Most people give in to eating bad food because they don't know how good some healthy food is. Another reason is because McDonald's is quick and easy. If you need something on the go McDonald's hits home. Too bad it has zero nutritional value. (except water)

Why do people do anything that is bad for them. People may know that something is bad for them and may even shorten their life but they think that something bad will happen to someone else. What most people do not realize is that sometimes THEY are the someone else.
Why do people smoke, or drink and drive? Most people know that smoking will eventually kill you, and drinking can lead to many other problems. But people still do it.
Granted, McDonald's is not as bad or hardly comparable to drinking or smoking, but it certainly is not doing your body any favors.
Mac D's is easy and relatively cheep and readily available, and kids usually like it. It is an easy choice even if it is not the best for you. So do I eat at McDonald's, not often, I prefer Burger King. :)

Cheap food that comes with a toy.. and the toy is usually linked to some popular character. So they get the kids hooked early!

It tastes good and it's convenient. People eat what they like instead of what's healthy for them.

Cause it's quick & easy....it's so easy to drive the kiddies through there after a long day at work - may not be the best thing, but it IS easy.
