What, exactly, is wrong with a McDonald's?

No sorry I cannot eat their trash brown, under any circumstances, might as well just drink the oil from the fryer

I went in last year for a Big Mac "meal", sat there afterwards thinking fish and chips from local chippy was about the same price and probably 3x as filling..

As for the workforce, I respect anyone who holds down a job regardless of where they work.

I very occasionally feel like I would like one & then regret it immediately on eating it/them although it must now be a couple of years since having one, they may have changed. The best thing they do is a Sausage & Egg Mcmuffin although they seem much smaller than before.

I do pop in once or twice a year for probably the same reasons we all do: I'm really hungry, it's dead easy, and I don't have to wait long for satisfaction of some sort. Like you I always regret it afterwards and I'm not sure why I bothered. And don't get me wrong, as a slightly chubby middle aged man I'm not evangelistic about calories and fat or salt or sugar.... it's just that if I'm going to eat a lot of fat and sugar and salt, I want to really get enjoyment from it so I'd rather eat some nice cake or some lovely cheese, or some good quality chocolate (for example). McDonalds leaves me both emotionally cold and physically bloated. And yet I still I go back the next year at some point.

^^^^^^ I think they put something into the burgers that makes you itch to come back a year later,

What's wrong with a McDonald? Ask a Campbell and they'll tell you.

You can thank Piemaster Jr. for both of those.
(If you were in the Kirkstall branch anyway)

Can anybody tell me why McD is supposed to be an evil corporation? It's big, granted, but there must be more to that, given the attention it gets. Is it bombing Syria...did it have a hand in developing napalm? What's the beef?

BTW, I really don't care if ground-up bovine eyeballs make the hamburgers stick together.

Cubette has been working at Leeds Rd, Huddersfield for just over two years. She had to do an online application and then had an interview. They are an excellent employer, recognising and rewarding achievements, with fun little prizes for record breaking shifts and pay rises for good personal reviews. She has risen to the heady heights of Crew Trainer, and during these holidays has been earning about 250 quid a week. When she goes to Hull she has the option for a transfer to a company branch, where she is guaranteed a job at the same level, or a franchise as a crew member.

Thought it was the other way round?

What's wrong with 'em, easy, they're a purveyor of chemicals pretending to be food...
For example...
Ingredients: Enriched Flour (Bleached Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup and/or Sugar, Yeast, Soybean Oil and/or Canola Oil, Contains 2% or Less: Salt, Wheat Gluten, Calcium Sulfate, Calcium Carbonate, Ammonium Sulfate, Ammonium Chloride, Dough Conditioners (May Contain One or More of: Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, DATEM, Ascorbic Acid, Azodicarbonamide, Mono and Diglycerides, Ethoxylated Monoglycerides, Monocalcium Phosphate, Enzymes, Guar Gum, Calcium Peroxide), Sorbic Acid, Calcium Propionate and/or Sodium Propionate (Preservatives), Soy Lecithin, Sesame Seed.
CONTAINS: WHEAT AND SOY LECITHIN.

And that's just the 'bread' rolls.

I'm guessing that's a copy/paste of the ingredients of something like an apple or cherry. And I'm ok with how nature creates food and provides the ingredients that I need to fuel the human body. I'm just not ok with how almost all packaged and fast food meals (not just McD.) are full of crap I don't need.
