Advantages: Tastes great

Disadvantages: Healthiness

General Info
---------------
Obviously mcdonalds is a massive fast food chain which originated from America and really hit its peak in the late 1990's. It serves a variety of fast food from chicken to burgers, and now, for the health conscious, even does a few salads.

It is widely believed that the rise of 'Subway' (the sandwich chain) has halted Mcdonalds rise. This was probably due to the massive health benefits that Subway offered over Mcdonalds. However, the invention of Deli sandwiches and different salads, means that Mcdonalds is now trying to compete on the health market as well.

Mcdonalds also has the possibility of drive-thru's. This is where you collect your food on the way through without leaving your car. Ideal if your in a hurry or just are too lazy to move!


Opinion
---------
Maccys has both its advantages and its disadvantages.

Advantages
1. The first major advantage of maccy's is that the food tastes good. There is no denying that most of the popualtion would happily settle down to a nice chicken legend of an evening if offered. Therefore, it definately passes the taste test.

2. Secondly, the prices are extremely reasonable. An entire large extra value meal only comes in at around the £3.50 mark which i think is exceptional for the amount of food that you receive.

Disadvantages
------------------
1. The health quest - Yes, maccy's is never ever going to be your bodies favourite choice for dinner. Even when it is not packed with calories, it will be with salt or sugar, meaning that it is really not going to do your body a lot of good.
Therefore, i wouldn't mess around with the salads, just go for a pig out, just keep in infrequent.


Summary
-----------
A massively popular fast food chain and it is not hard to see why. Mcdonalds is brilliantly tasty and cheap. Just beware of those calories!!!!!!

Summary: 4 stars
