Basically, the human brain registers fat as 'tastier' than ordinary healthy food. This is why junk food is naturally addictive to people, and why ice cream, chocolate, gravy etc all taste so savory.
McDonald's hamburgers, cheese, Big Mac dressing, fries, etc - combine for a very high fat level.

It's actually the lack of nutrients that makes you hungry again so soon. Your home-cooked food has nutrients and therefore satisfies your body for several hours. The McDonald's (or any other junk food) has very little nutrients, so even though you've just eaten your body is telling you it's still hungry because your body hasn't received the nutrition it needs to perform its many jobs, so it triggers you to eat again in hopes that it will get some nutrition if you eat again!
Makes you not want to eat junk food, doesn't it? :-)

It takes your body about 4-5 hours for your to digest food, varying from individuals depending on your metabolism. I don't eat from fast food chain restaurants anymore. I believe that put something in their food that makes it addictive. That's why people gotta have their McDonald's fries. I think other restaurants I like that also. But this is just my opinion. My advice: stop eating at McDonald's and other fast foot restaurants. Your body will thank you.

Grease, its completely grease. Those hamburgers are dripping with greasly fat and that makes you extrememly hungry and want more. Thats why its been proven that the kids meals have more fat in them than the normal single burgers. They try to hook you at a young age. They do a pretty good job at it too.

Yannow, the tobacco companies put addictive elements into their cigarettes, like fiberglas in the filter of menthol cigarettes to make tiny cuts in the lung and infiltrate the tar, nicotine and other addictives better.
I wouldn't be surprised if McDonald's had stuff in their food, too.

McDonald's ain't addicting..... It's Wendy's that I love!!! But truly, I would stop eating the food at MDs, because if it makes you want more, and you indulge that desire, then you could end up really over-weight/ out of shape/ unhealthy/ so on and so forth.

It's good taste. It's superb melted cheese with it's savory hamburger cooked to perfection. Not to mention it's 5 star buns and smooth ketchup. And the drugs they put in it to make it addicting helps too.

I suggest you read 'Fast Food Nation'. It has all the answers.
You'll never want to eat fast food or public school food again.

they lace their food with crack,
i actually think its a trick of the mind, the food has so much grease and fat it slides right through the body barely stopping in the stomach so you never really feel full for more than an hour hehe
