The vote ratio on these comments is beginning to concern me.

upvotes = smart people who know when 'food' is overpriced and actually kills you more then helps you

downbotes = fat and sugar addicts who can't stop sucking corporate dick like mcgarbage

If you want some breakfast and a coffee at 6am, there are limited options, and McDonald's is one of them.

Jesus you people need to calm down.

That's pretty much the only time I'll have maccas, the alternatives around these parts are Hungry Jacks (burger king licensee) or OTR (OnTheRun, a petrol station chain owned by the scummiest family in South Australia and are well known for dodgy employment including abusing Cert3 in Retail courses to pay their employees under minimum wage)

McDonalds is somehow the 'ethical' option.

Smart, or old. After a certain age, fast food started making me fill like shit immediately after eating it.

Sometimes, you're hungry, it's a weird hour of the day, and you just want some food.

Not everything has to be a culinary experience.

Where else would you get Palestinian Children blood sauce to dip your McNuggies in?

I really don't know how people can stomach that crap.
