Fuuuuck McDonalds, bunch of god damn sociopaths pushing their addictive and unhealthy food on children.

Seriously fuck McDonalds.

Agreed. At least fast food is so overpriced now that it's really easy to avoid going out at all nowadays!

Honestly, that's true of all fast food places. They employ food scientists and psychologists to addict as many people as possible to their products. And once you're hooked, it's hard as fuck to get away. "I don't go to Burger King anymore, but man I miss Whoppers" is the sort of thing I've heard more than once.

McDonalds specifically spends billions targeting children on places like YouTube and Instagram. They target poor children in developing countries, and it's why they have playgrounds and happy meals.

It's sociopathic calculations intended to increase revenue at the cost of lifelong health consequences for children.
