even though i am a veggie i would prefer a burger from mcd's than an burger van simply because mcdonalds have standards and rules...a man in a van can do what he wants...serve out of date meat, dropped on floor, ancient ketchup, rancid fat, unwashed hands, ...and where does he wee?
I've said it before, but just for old time's sake...
Muckdonalds - bleauch !
I only ever go in there for a "McP!ss" and if challenged on the way in I tell them I'll buy something afterwards - this is called a "McP!ss with lies".
molly, do you eat any sort of processed meat? If so, do you know what goes into them? I worked in a meat processing factory that produced food for budget and high-market retailers and it was an education!
It's all about branding and image. If you go to McD's you know what you're getting but if you you go to Fred's burger bar you're taking a risk. It's the same reason all our high streets are identical these days (smiths, boots starbucks etc..)
