| | McDonalds. Though I've stopped eating most fast food (the overwhelming smell of grease turns my stomach), McDs is far and away my most hated. The vast number of Mc**** t-shirts I'm seeing nowadays seems to indicate I'm not alone here...
A 'restaurant' that has to include pickles so that their so-called burgers count as burgers rather han confectionary (due to the required levels sugar content to count as food), that (in Australia) claims to be made from 100% Australian beef but really just gets it's beef products from a company called 100% Australian Beef, and so can legally put "100% Australian Beef" cardboard rings around their burgers to fool unsuspecting customers, that fries it's purportedly vegetarian foods in pig-fat, and that makes it's ice-cream from animal fats is not to my liking.
Besides, the fiberglass statues of Ronald McDonald that they put on the benches so that young children can go and sit on the lap of a suspicious looking man with a big grin on his face seems a bit dodgy to me...

| | | You're kidding. McDonalds' hamburgers would be considered by the US government confections, because of the amount of sugar they contain? But how does a pickle turn it into a meat? Mind, I'm not defending something like McDonalds. I'm just curious.

Yeah, about all the fast food chains are woefully unhealthy and unsanitary, but Taco Bell tops them all. If Taco Bell wanted to become the most unsanitary fast food chain, well they certainly did. You have to try to be that bad. Grade K meat? Really...You find more meat fit for man in dogfood. SERIOUSLY. I am not being sarcastic. This is unsanitary and rediculous. Even looking at their commercials make me sick.
MacDonalds and Burger King, also very bad, unhealthy, unsanitary, but nobody tops Taco Bell in being the worst, so to speak.

| | | Burger King is the worst. I once tried their french toast fingers for breakfast. I was sick the rest of the day.
Locally, there is Los Betos for Mexican that never fails to make people sick, and my wife has always puked after eating at the Yokohama Rice Bow. |

I had a friend that worked at a Taco Bell....said they put everything on the Tacos with little spray guns or something. The cheese, the lettuce.....even the meat. Yes, the meat. Ugh. 
I hate McD's as a company.....but I don't mind their food.

| | I can't think of any bad takeaway foods here. McD's is edible, Burger King is rather good and even KFC passes the grade.
We must be doing something right here

| | I don't mind McDonalds food now and again...I mean it does fill its purpose... 
Just curious though, does "Chinese take-away" qualify as "fast food"?!?

They're not necessarily the same thing.

| | | Here in London there are a million kebab fast food outlets that have a huge very greasy hunk of unspecified meat continuously rotating on a spit in the window whilst highly intense looking mustachioed gentlemen slash it with knives.
In the UK, a kebab or a curry is the obligatory way of ending a Saturday night! Much more entertaining than MacDonalds...
