Food: McDonald's (Fast Food)

Fast food outlets such as McDonald's get a lot of bad press, especially due to recent health conscious social concerns. It is in fact, like all food - okay if eaten in moderation, hmm.. okay how about not very frequently?

It is very bad for your health historically, it's entire menu consisted of fried product with next to no vegetable at all (not including the humble spud). It now has an array of Salads, fruits, and pure orange juice.

But let us step away from the obvious. McDonald's (and all major fast-food outlets) must be one of the most hygienic restaurants going. With such a high food turn over, you're guaranteed to receive all of the following:

• Fresh Food
• Just cooked & therefore hot food
• Being in the trade for so long, one might suggest they are experts at cooking well cooked food too - so less chance of food poisoning?
• For all those vegetarians, they cook their fries in a completely separate area, and their fish / vege products are also cooked separate from the meat products.

Okay, not exactly posh. But at least you know what you're eating. I wouldn't suggest munching on fast food on a daily basis, but once in a blue moon? Go on ... treat yourself!
