I honestly hate mcdonalds anyway, but the range of stuff I've tried there is very limited - maybe if i had a big mac I'd succumb to the MiccyD.
For me it just feels like food designed to make you sick, either because you're compelled to eat too much or because it's sooooo unnatural.
There was this movie on Netflix called Spiderhead where they're testing drugs including one that makes people overeat until they hurl, and watching it reminded me exactly how i felt whenever I went there as a kid. I steer clear now. Trauma!
McDonald’s has been specifically engineered for over half a century to be as pleasing and addictive as possible, by a huge corporation who hires legions of scientists in various disciplines to achieve that singular goal.
In my mind, it’s akin to smoking: the first few times you try it, it’s gross; after that, it’s a dopamine hit that’s easy to become reliant upon.
