I don't hate mcdonalds.

I actually like McDonald's food. It tastes good, the service is fast, it's cheap and they offer free wifi. I especially love the breakfast they serve. Of course, the food isn't healthy, so it's not something you should have too often, but I still like the food as an occasional treat or a meal when I'm in a rush.

Yet everyone here seems to hate it. The slightest mention of McDonald's on this site generates haters.

Is it normal to not hate McDonald's on IIN?

    I used to eat from Mcdonald's. It's crappy in my opinion. I hate Mcdonald's. It doesn't deserve the popularity and millions of dollars it has.

    They do allow animal faecal matter in their meat but just blast it with stuff to make it less dangerous to humans. What confuses me is how everyone turns a blind eye to it as long as the food tastes good. Everyone seems to assume that a company couldn't pull a stunt like that and because of that complacency, McDonalds do. Technically, there's no harm in eating sanitised animal shit, but people should at least know what they are putting into their mouths.

    It's all of that Mono-sodium Glutamate tricking your brain into thinking what you're eating is delicious.

    • MSG is delicious.

        MSG is also toxic.

        • No it's not. It's just sodium and glutamate. There is no conclusive proof that it is bad. If that's the case then salt in general is toxic. In addition, you don't see modern Asians dropping dead like flies, because their convenience food has tons of MSG.
          If you take TOO MUCH MSG, that's an entirely different story.

            Is it now? /sarcasm

            Would you like to enter into a polite, yet fierce, debate on this topic? :D

              I don't think there's much to debate really, my position is that there's absolutely no conclusive evidence that MSG causes anything. Every reliable study done has proved it's safe.

              Sure, I'd be curious to know what information you're going by that gave you your opinion on MSG. : )

    Obviously a lot of people like McDonalds, that is why there is practically one on every street corner in most cities I have been too anyway.

    I agree, it's not something to eat on a daily basis. Hell, I wouldn't eat it on a WEEKLY basis, however, I love their fries. LOVE their fries. It's good for the occasional treat or outing with friends (which is what it used to be), but not as one's daily diet.

      "...but not as one's daily diet."

      To which I would like to add: (which is what it has become.)

        I still can't imagine how it must be though. If I eat fast food more than twice a week, I feel like complete trash.

  • I like some of McDonald's food. Once I got their fries and they were extra crispy, I almost died. So freakin yummy.

    I personally love a good burger, but McDonald's serves no such burger IMO. Their fries have a kinda nice flavour though, even if they are little crusty sticks. Before the big "change" to Wendy's I like their burgers, but now I find them just as nasty as McDonald's. Who'd have thunk it that Wendy herself would be the face of the ruin of her own namesake? Those god awful pickles! lol... and what happened to the mustard? God... And now the burgers are so thick at Wendy's they're either burnt black or pink on the inside! Why mess with a good thing? So many companies do this... But back to McD's... the reason I don't like their burgers? Well, they have the consistency of a kitchen sponge, and taste like a bland breakfast sausage. To reiterate... BURGERS NEED A LITTLE MUSTARD! That's why Wendy's now sucks, and Big Macs suck. Again, IMO.

  • I love it as a treat...I want try most things there but I always go for the hamburger because they do them so nicely so I always end up with the same order. But in the long run, eating MacDonald regularly won't be cheap. I once ate nearly every day for a week, then realized I needed the money for petrol for work and it screwed things up badly just because I was addicted to the food so now its a rare treat.

    I have ate McDonalds in five different countries and its appealing in all. The smell of frying French fries is universal

    Of course it tastes great, it's just not healthy. It's a lifestyle choice.

    I never had a issue with mcdonold. I always had a problem with the service and that they would always screw up my order. That or anything they made tasted like onions if it was with the meal or not.

    Their fries and chicken nuggets are good (though probably unhealthy as hell), but their burgers are tiny and completely inferior to the ones at Burger King, and leave a bad taste in your mouth.

    I stick to Burger King.

        Can't really say anything about that. I don't believe those exist here. Presumably some US-only food-chain?

    It actually depends on where are you from because I've tasted it many times in 4 different countries and some of them were disgusting while here it's delicious. Not all the food but I love nuggets and cheesburgers here even though I don't eat it often.

    I've been to Mc Donald once when I was in Mauritius. There's no fast food here.
