I saw terrible things about the way they hire people from poor countries who are not skilled enough to wrok that kind of job and do such disgusting things while working with the products.I heard about so many types of chemicals put in the food and hundreds other things.If you are interested I may tell you some film titles because it is dangerous for all our body organs to eat this.

Oh that's bad! Thankfully, in my country, such things don't happen. (At least such things don't happen in McDonald's and other fast food chains.)

I haven't really seen much about how the food is made. I have heard though that it's not pretty lol. Since I've personally never seen it, I still buy fast food and eat it. Maybe I'd be different if I see some of these movies but for now, I'm happy with my McDonalds :)

I haven't seen the movie. I don't eat from McDonalds or other American franchises. The only edible item is the ketchup.

It's been years since I've eaten anything from McD.'s. I can still remember decades ago being a teen on a date with my steady guy - this was a bit over forty years ago - we'd go bowling, then across the street to Mc.D.'s. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. The fries were always hot hot hot - made then from real russet potatoes. the cheese on the burger was melted - not just slapped on a semi hot burger. Since then, the quality has gotten so low I can't eat the food. My kids stopped eating it a few years ago also - voluntarily, I might add. My youngest, now 18, stopped five years ago. He couldn't stomach the food. The prefer if getting "fast food" to get something from Subway or Papa John's pizza. They really prefer to have me make everything lol....I've never watched the movies you refer to. Don't need to. One taste tells me all that I need to know.

I still eat at McDonalds because some times its the only thing available and it is convenient. Their food isn't really that good or feeling but usually its appropriate for the budget and that's what I'm sure they're still in business today! I don't really care for their menu or their meals or even their sides because they are too unhealthy and fattening! After one meal, I swear I have to go to the gym and do at least 30 minutes of cardio! It's insane, but when I can I try to void going there because I would much rather eat healthier food, even though its relatively more expensive. If only fast food was healthy, this world would be a better place! Thank God for Subway and Quizno's and Jason's Deli! :)

I have not watched those 4 movies you mentioned. But if the producer is not responsible, they will pay attention to earn more money rather than considering the health of their customers. So the food they made will not be always safe. I don't often eat in McDonald's but actually I like eating the french fries and soda water there. I love China

I worked at McDonalds back in the 90's. I was a crew trainer which meant I trained every new person in our store in every position. We turned out 12 regs (hamburgers or cheeseburgers every 30 seconds) or you could turn out 6 big macs in the same time. We did 1/4 pounders in 4 1/2 minutes. While I worked there everything was fresh and hot. We had timers on our food that had to be thrown out every few minutes. we had very good managers who did by the rules. After I quit, somewhere McD stopped serving hot fresh food. While they still have to grill the hamburgers etc, they now have trays they place the meat in and if you watch after you order, there is an assembly line. They take the cooked meat down out of a tray, then whether you want cheese on it or not, they add that with ketchp, mustard, onion and pickle. then they nuke the sandwich in the microwave. While we served ours hot, there were times when lunch hours were over and a lull of customers and McD saw a lot of wastage. So they turned to the microwave system. I have been in a McD and waited for up to 30 minutes for only a cheeseburger. It makes me want to jump the counter run back and make a dozen up for them the OLD way. Its sad. Everything is about the 1.00 rather than serving you a hot fresh sandwich which we used to know McD to be. I have went through drive through and got a cheeseburger and I know they did not even put it in the Microwave. the cheese was still as cold as they had got it out of the container. I can always tell when a General Manager or District Manager is there. You will get a hot sandwich. The rest of the time its just people there for the money not caring that you are their money. Times have changed. If you want a good burger go to a sit down restaurant where it will not be made til you order. But there are times when I just am on the run and depending on what area of town I am in its either a McD cheeseburger or Wendys Jr Bacon cheeseburger. I just don't care for the taste of Burger King. All restaurants not just fast food can serve bad food. It depends on management and owners of the restaurant and how far they are willing to go for good customers or the 1.00 in the till.

No, it's expensive in Sweden. I'm a student with a little scholarship. So I would like to eat at home or have buffet using the same money!

The last time I ate Mcdonalds was in the summer for breakfast. I got a sausage and egg and coffee. I watched the movie on the guy who gained weight after eating Mcdonalds everyday. He did not only gain weight he started to have chest pain and couldn't breathe well. This documentary he did was to show people how harmful it is it eat Mcdonalds or fast foods everyday.

Oh i really, I hope i could watch the 4 movies. This is the second leading food chain in my country. I got scared after reading the responses. We always eat there because it is affordable. I couldn't imagine this every time I eat there. My friend had tried to work there as a part time job when we were studying but she haven't told anything something about it. I know it has many branch in every country. And I'm also concern for my health.
