Here in America, it tastes like plastic. It's loaded with salt and chemicals which beggar pronunciation, it has about six jillion calories per serving with 80% of them from fat, and buying one of their burgers is a good way to corner the market on cholesterol.

I have no love whatsoever for McDonalds....but this is an outright lie. McDonalds uses pure beef(which does contain fat because fat is a component of beef). Slaughter a cow and eat a steak from it....your going to consume fat(especially if it is a good cut of steak). McDonalds does add salt....but that is at the time of grilling. The grill man has a little salt shaker and shakes some salt onto the patty while its cooking.

When I was 16 I worked at a McDonald's...flipping burgers.

I believe Snopes has an article dispelling your claim.

Best-selling burgers and drinks popular with children at McDonald's restaurants are loaded with controversial chemicals, including some known to cause behavioural problems.

Analysis by The Independent reveals that Britain's biggest burger company pumps a total of 78 different artificial additives into its food on 578 separate occasions, an average of seven E-numbers per product. Although McDonald's emphasises its burgers are 100 per cent beef, the buns, cheese and sauces that go with them are high in E-numbers.

The Big Mac has 18 separate additives and a cheeseburger 17 separate additives, while a chocolate milkshake has eight different chemicals.

Additives are present in almost everything on the menu, including the grilled chicken and salads.

Health campaigners claim that certain E-numbers can cause side effects such as headaches and wheezing among some consumers.

Now, I didn't say fat was bad. What I alluded to was that most calories in a diet should come from non-fat sources -- i.e. proteins and vitamins. This is common knowledge. 45% of the calories in a Big Mac come from fat, meaning those calories carry no nutrition.

One Big Mac has 42% of your daily fat intake, 28% of your daily cholesterol intake, and 40% of your recommended salt intake. We haven't gotten to your fries or soda.

These are facts, posted by McDonald's on their own website.

If you don't like the data, take it up with them.

Also, I'd suggest you look into humor as a rhetorical device as you reread my post. You certainly have a lot to learn there.

Sorry about calling your claim a lie.
