I respectfully disagree. There’s no reason at all why the occasional McD should harm anyone with a healthy lifestyle.

Well as I am degree level educated (Biochemistry) and with 30 years in the food industry I know pretty much what goes into quite a lot of it.
And yes I still eat it. And yes I get pissed at people constantly calling it crap from a position of little knowledge.
Is it perfect? No, but nothing is, but if knew the truth you’d be amazed how good it really is.....

Agreed. And street food doesn't always mean fast food.

With all respect, I beg to differ.

+1. I've been known to drive to the Screwfix that's slightly further away than the closest one in order to patronise the van that's parked on their forecourt if I've not had any lunch and I'm well stuck into a job- the chap does a lovely bacon and egg barm!

@Reynard would have got that lot for £2.
You're not far off...
Well, I got half a kilo of rump steak for £2.19 last night, plus mushrooms at 25p a punnet, beef tomatoes at 16p each and bags of new potatoes at 35p each.

Oh come, I know we would all defend a good employer (and they are that) but your oft repeated protests on McDonald's being "real food" are transparent shilling.
It's crap, sugary, syrupy sweet crap at that, and highly calorific junk food. Yes I know it's real beef, real coffee beans, real potatoes... (but it's a sad company who needs to assure people that its beef comes from cows and its chips come from potatoes). Tellingly It's also real sugar, from sugar cane, and real fat, from animals, and lots of it, in both cases.
A *medium* big mac meal is over half the calorie intake of what a human needs in a day, and people have that for lunch, not their main meal. Go large and you're at the threshold of that being all you're allowed, (unless you like wearing size 22 dresses as a matter of course).
Yes, you eat it occasionally and yes, it won't kill you occasionally, but the constant queue of people at every "I can't even be arsed to get out of my McCar" McDrive is testament to the fact that for many it's far from occasional. It's a long term habit.
Its terrible, sugary, highly calorific crap which is helping lazy Brits become ever more obese and lazy, and shame on you for defending it.

I've just checked...this guy is so reliably there, he's actually made it onto 5 of the last 6 years worth of Streetview images...!

The number of folk that don't know that chips are made from potatoes, or that beef comes from cows is staggering.
You can extrude "French fries" from pulped potatoes, often with other "ingredients" added.

The only fast food I ever get, and it is quite rare, is a two cheeseburger meal at McDonalds. Two cheeseburgers, small fries and a bottled water. I may get it when I'm out and about and too lazy or hungry to wait until I get home to make myself a sandwich. I think the above costs me all of $6.39. A pretty good deal as far as I'm concerned.
