Why do people eat McDonalds?

Question

I know it supposedly tastes good, but many other healthier things taste just as good if not better eg. Subway.

I try not to eat processed foods, and eat healthy, fresh food. I had a big mac meal the other day, because my mates went to mcdonalds - I felt sick all day because my body wasn't used to eating c**p like that.

Why do people do that to themselves?

Answer 1

Some people just like to treat themselves once in a while.

Answer 2

They get used to it.

Answer 3

its cheap and convenienant

Answer 4

Well perhaps they havent read up yet that burgers can give you  E-Coli - the fatal type. Dont ever eat it if its pink inside   though i havent had a pink one yet.

Answer 5

Its as good as any other fast food when you are starving,got kids need to be somewhere and you have no time to cook the food is reasonable,the service is fast and the restaurants are some of the cleanest out there.Can't top that.Its what keeps them going also the coffee is drinkable.I refuse to eat anywhere you can't buy coffee,but they want to sell me a drink loaded with sugar.Micky D's rein

Answer 6

Because compared to other fast-food places, McDonalds is healthier.  McDonalds uses healthier oil than BK or Wendy's or any other place.  McDonalds meat is cooked completely, and temped everyday to make sure it is healthy to eat.  The oil vats are constantly changed to make sure the food isn't bad to serve.  McDonalds is cheap, and convenient.  Go ahead and eat Subway, but you better make a lot of money to eat there everyday.  I used to work at Wal-Mart and we had a Subway inside - Subway got nasty, real quick.

Answer 7

Because they are lazy and ignorant. If the people who ate there actually knew what they were eating they would throw it back up.

Answer 8

I don't really like McDonalds and I also think Subway is vastly overrated. It's just a sandwich, why do they make such a fuss about making it? What bread do you want, do you want butter, what salad do you want, what sauce do you want? God, I need a sit down after all those questions.

There's nothing wrong with eating a McDonalds once in a while if you eat healthily the rest of the time. I probably eat it about twice a year and I don't feel sick afterwards.

The solution is don't eat McDonalds but how's it your business if other people want to?

Answer 9

People eat at McDonald's because it's fast, convenient, and inexpensive.  They know the possible risks that are associated with Fast Food, but chose otherwise.

Answer 10

let me start off by saying, yes i work at mcdonalds and yes i think it is a great company.. like every other company, mcdonalds makes mistakes.. mcdonalds made around 20 billion last year and shows no sign of slowing down. they have around 30,000+ stores and a college campus in oak brook, IL used as a training campus. i have studied the history of this company and can tell you that mcdonalds is making adjustments. we hold strict rules about food safety and the cooking of that food. i believe that as far as quality goes, mcdonalds biggest mistake was franchising.. it started from day one.. this caused some bad owners who didnt care about quality, only profit. mcdonalds has founded several organizations and donated millions of dollars to them to help improve families, health of kids and disease research. regardless of what people think now or would want to believe mcdonalds will never leave or stop growing.. we grow everyday.. we have had positive sales increases every month for the past 9+ years.. what other company can boast that? have you noticed other commercials from people like wendy's, burger king, subway, hardee's? all slamming mcdonalds.. have you ever seen mcdonalds fight back? never.. we dont have to.. our quality and commitment to community says what those commercials would.. and a quick notice to those other companies.. if mcdonalds wanted to flex its muscles and fight back competively with our own commercials bashing you, you wouldnt stand a chance.. you would lose millions in business. people want to blast mcdonalds because of films like "super size me" but in that movie, it showed a guy who has eaten thousands of big macs and was skinny.. and on that movie, while i actually watched it several times, the truth is that it is not mcdonalds responsibility to make you skinny or heathy.. that is your problem. not ours... our job isnt to make decisions for you.. our job is to make a cheap, quality burger that you choose or dont choose to eat.. orders will now and will probably always be messed up.. it happens everywhere.. at my particular store, we serve around 1200 customers a day.. if we mess up 12 orders severely, thats only 1 percent.. think you could do any better?  apply.. it pays well.. by the time i'm 35 i'll make over 100k a year..

of the 20 billion made last year, 1/3 of that was made by people who started at the bottom, making burgers, sweeping the parking lot, saying "would you like fries with that?" and now they brought in over 7 billion.. wow.. for such a bad company, i guess they have something figured out.. still taking your money..

memo to the world, get over it.. its your fault you're fat.....

Answer 11

Well it does takes pretty good, but like you say there are other places that we can eat that are healthier and get it just as fast.  

You felt sick because there is no telling what is in that stuff they call meat and if you do not eat that stuff on a regular, you will pay!!!!

Answer 12

It's a preference developed by convenience in most cases. also in most cases people have no idea what it is in fact that they are eating, you on the other hand seemed to know or at least have some idea of what is in the food, consequently, your mind created a placebo telling your body you must have eaten some kind of mild poison. i dont however, i love McDonalds and all of its  artery clogging goodness.

Answer 13

They eat it out of habit, like smoking. It's also easy, convenient, and cheap.

McDonalds is the next best thing to eating trash.

Answer 14

McDonald's is the most available, Subway and all those resturaunts are far where I live, not that I even eat (or even LIKE) Mickey D's anyways.

As for others, laziness, starvation, a quick bite to eat, or on the road are possible reasons even though I'd much rather eat elsewhere (though I gotta admit, Mickey D's breakfast is GOOOOOD).

Answer 15

they like fatty foods apparently

Answer 16

some people grew up on mcdonalds. and when they've had it long enough it is addictive. another thing is that it's affordable for people with low incomes. buying organic food is expensive, and even getting regular fruits and vegetables are more and more expensive.

Answer 17

Cause it's inexpensive, time efficient and likely the closest restaurant around.

Answer 18

Weeeelllll...............because their to lazy to spend a little more cash on something good, or to lazy to get off their butts and make something to eat for themselves.
