A McD in Marbella, Spain is one of my favorites - you can eat outdoors overlooking beautiful mountains, have a Gazpacho to start off with, a fresh salad with anchovies and sardines, and have a lovely cold beer to go with it - all for about EUR 6

Malaysia is much nicer as well
Though I never eat at McDonalds state side here, I did go to them in Malaysia simply because I knew the meat to be halal (Muslim version of kosher)....the burger was better tasting, looked just like the picture on the ad, and the they had a washing station to wash your hands in the dining area.....hows that for cleanliness.....you wont find that here in the states, thats for sure.

They should call it McSodium. Even the most basic cheeseburger has HALF of the max sodium intake you should have in a day. In just the cheeseburger. Everything they sell is more heavily salted than more or less every other fast food vendor around. The food quality is also very poor. I'm at a loss as to why people continue to eat there.

So McDonald's is not the only culprit.

Whether or not you eat at Micky Dees... I hope everyone has seen the movie Super Size Me It is classic! Somehow I don't think much has changed in the last 5 years since it was made.

It is a garbage export.
I cringe when I see them anywhere, especially in Asia. So out of place and grotesque. It saddens me to see people choosing this junk over their own (authentic) food!
