First thing this morning I had a Mc Donalds breakfast which I ordered from a machine and had delivered to my table. I then went to work and thus far I have had 5 Amazon orders, 3 EBay orders, 2 click and collect orders and 4 email conversations.
I am yet to speak to a human being.

“Hello, I'm your MP. Actually I'm not. I'm your candidate. Gosh.”
Boris Johnson canvassing in Henley, 2005.
As it goes, I had a maccyds breakfast just over an hour ago. First one in years, but I was up at a&e with the boy until two this morning, and had nothing in the house so maccyds it was.
I spoke with a homo sapien who I think may have been marginally less responsive than the machine.
Well the breakfasts are decent IMO. The pork is RSPCA assured and the eggs are free range so that side of it is all good. It tastes good as well. My favourite place for breakfast is Suffolk Food Hall. Followed The Alex. McDonalds is a decent quick option IMO.
Oh and no, I don't go daily. Once a week at the max.
To clarify, anyone who gets a drive through or takes one home is ok?
You are not anti-McDonald's as a whole surely?

I'm "surely" not anti the corporate giant in almost every corner of the planet offering up processed 'food' full of additives, preservatives, E numbers, salt, sugar and very few nutrients, pandering merely to people's tastebuds and contributing to making many of them unhealthy and/or obese, whilst massively contributing to the destruction of the planet through piles and piles of plastic?!
My mate keeps sending me photos of one whenever he orders "off menu".
Whenever I make my annual, or bi-annual visit to McD's, its either for a sausage & egg muffin, or a Big Mac.
It usually takes me about 30 mins after eating the Big Mac to remember why I don't eat them very often, and the rest of the year to forget that and go and order one again.
I did a homemade sausage and egg muffin the other day, not bad, but it was missing something that makes the McD's one taste really good, don't know what it is though.

What on earth is there to be "anti" about?!?
Yeah but the 20 nuggets is great when you're pissed!

Despite agreeing with your sentiment, I occasionally succumb and buy one if it's the convenient option.
And, despite knowing it's rubbish and silently beating myself up over it, they are strangely addictive.

RSPCA assured and free range is good, but what about all the crap they pump into it?
It really isn't decent. Not for your body it isn't.
And once a week is shocking IMO. I certainly wouldn't imagine someone eating there daily.
Read this article if you care about your body. Yes, this chap did it daily for 10 days, but it still goes to show what you're doing to your body when you eat there.
"I was feeling really tired and lethargic, and I had trouble sleeping". "I felt my body was having a hard time processing all the sugar and fat." "I would have to sit down as I felt quite sick." “Are you sure your liver functions are intact? You look really quite jaundiced. You should really consider stopping.”
"the test results were fascinating. I’d lost 1,400 bacterial species in my gut in just 10 days"
Comparing a £3 McDonalds breakfast to a proper meal in a proper restaurant is one of the daftest things I've read on here.
If one bought a £3 meal from maccy d's and then donated £87 to an environmental charity, do you think that would do more harm to the world than £90 bangers and mash?

What a strange question.
I doubt one meal from Maccy D's or one donation of £87 to an environmental charity would make any difference to anything.
