Despite the numerous studies associating McDonald’s food directly with serious health problems, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, this company keeps on serving billions of people all around the world.
The success of McDonald’s is mainly due to its availability, as you can find it even on college campuses, off rural highways, and in every airport.
What’s truly frightening is the global addiction to this fast food chain, and assuming that McDonald’s is going to stick around for a very long time, then maybe it’s time to know what kind of ingredients they’re feeding you.
