    It’s also nowhere near that cheap.

    McD is hella expensive, especially if you have to live of of it.

    A 8-10€ basic menu is good to fill in a single meal, but while having a ton of calories, doesn’t satiate enough to count even as a full meal (which is on purpose so you order more). At my local prices, you’re looking at 13-15€ minimum, to have a satiating meal out of McDonnalds.

      I ordered a triple quarter pounder meal + happy meal for $15. You can easily snag a big ass burger and be full for $8 in the states. It’s the chains in France that are crazy expensive. Not that you should live off burgers.

        That would still mean you’re spending far more for food in a month by eating at McD, than you would preparing food yourself.

        The price difference per region is irrelevant, the fact his statement is idiotic and ignorant applies for every region.

        Besides, McD in Europe generally pays an actual livable wage to workers, not so much in the US. There’s a variety of reasons for the price difference to exist. But again, the price difference is completely irrelevant to the point he was making because no matter what region you’re in, eating at McDonalds isn’t “cheap” compared to actually making food yourself.

        Which is what people have been complaining about to have gone up considerably in recent years.
