Yeah, I really can't comprehend how the sale of toxic waste is allowed, especially as food. Even the McDonald's in my country can't be conpared to the ones in the US, as over here there are high food quality and health standards. Eating unhealthy doesn't give you instantly type 2 diabetes and morbid obesity. Eating unhealthy in my country is still considered healthy by US standards.
Here you have to go to a sit down restaurant or make it at home to even approach "healthy"
Here the McDonald's is a sit down restaurant. The government said they were too expensive for a food chain that has their restaurant built to make you stay as short as possible. They were given a choice: make it cheaper or improve the restaurant. It was more profitable to completely remodel all buildings. Now they have ergonomic chairs and calming colors for the eyes. So now you can relax while eating your way to expensive junk. Same with Burger King etc. For the same money you can get a healthy and tasteful meal. The biggest burger you can get here is almost as big as the smallest burger in the US. It's about 9 or 10 euros. A regular burger is a bit over 2 euros but that's 3 bites, they fit in your handpalm. For 10 euros I can cook a tasty meal for 4 to 5 people with fresh vegitables.
Well now you're just bragging.
