Do you think they put things to addict you in McDonalds food?

I mean its so tasty...When I was a kid I was crazy for it.I mean crazy! Not to mention the playground..My boyfriend and I (we live in Italy) were discussing this matter.I myself an American am fully aware of the over indulgence in McDonalds in the states.Here in Italy its more of a treat kinda deal.We go every now and then...For you deep thinkers and health nuts you know when you have a Big Mac it is like the best tasting thing at that moment and you always want something else..Whats the deal...I mean Burger King is good and others but something about MCDonalds..Hmmmm

Oh my goodness! You live in italy with all that amazing cuisine and macdonalds is considered a treat? I havent eaten Maccie dees for years as i always thought no matter what you ate from there you always feel hungry after 20 minutes. I would rather go to a quality independent burger place with homemade beefburgers - ir the gourmet burger kitchen we have in the UK where you get gorgeous 100% ground beef and lashings of fresh salad and garlic mayo mixed infront of you. A good restaurant serving this type of burger gets my vote any day. If I am gonna have junk food i would rather kfc or as i am british some good old fish and chips yummmmmmmmm

Hi, autunno! I grew to love eating an Big Mac all by myself at McDonald's. I get what you are saying. It is something about the creamy stuff that they put on the burgers. It is the way that the cheese melts between the meat and bread. I love McDonald's food over Burger King any day. I guess they put more love in it, for you to be addicted to it!

No, I just think junk food tastes good. I was talking to a friend about this also. I told her how, I never cared for McDonalds and it's consider more of American's burger place and more well known than Burger King which I always liked better (even as a child). So, I don't think it's something in, because I eat it if I'm in a bind or nothing else is around, but have never have in my life had a craving for it. I have for Burger King, though. It's just a matter of taste. Where as ciggerrates tastes bad and people still want that.
