All their beef is British or Irish, all their pork is British, their milk is British, their eggs are British and Irish and their potatoes are British. You lot, who are the ones producing these things, are slagging them off as being crap food.
WTF?
I know there is an issue with litter from fast food outlets, this isn't a McDonalds thing, my own local chippy has struggled with littering for decades before McD was even on these shores.
Beats me how you can say the food is poor quality, you produce the stuff.

Yes they keep most of us in jobs. We should be supporting them really not pulling them to bits

I will fight tooth and nail toward criticism made of McDonalds UK operations.
The vast majority of the product they sell is UK and Irish sourced. Even the milk, eggs and salad. Obviously the coco powder and coffee must be imported from afar.
Compared to the USA version of McDonalds product, the UK variety has a vastly different recipe and is far far healthier. Whether you agree with their product on principle or marketing is a different matter. You would also be extremely unlikely to contract food poisoning in one of their establishments as the entire process is so carefully controlled.
If you want to be incensed consider that every kilo of chicken sold by KFC in this country is imported from Brazil.

I have stayed in a village in the Austrian Tirol and I only saw 2 pieces of litter in all the minor roads and footpaths I walked.
I ran my local scouts for 10 years and I worked constantly to try and train them not to drop litter. It was an uphill task, they used to look at me as tho' I was a moron and only desisted if I was actually watching. Broke my heart seeing what their standard was.

I must admit I sometimes call at the local McDonalds if i'm passing and hungry. I know it's not great for you but it's about the only place you can go in your work clothes stinking of sheep and covered in sh1t. The foods not that bad actually and as said it's not their fault if the customers dump their litter everywhere. I do like the number plate idea though.

When red plating & needing a place to take a break Mc D's were 'the' place to look out for. Just soooo much better than transport cafe's & particularly those on the M1 which were frankly just horrible with smelly toilets, poor parking & expensive. A lone Mc D's is the place to stop where the toilets are spotless & the food is ok. The best one, I found, is opposite Weston Community Stadium North of Colchester just off the A12. It was a pleasure to have a break there.
Yes the litter is horrible but this is down to the customer & this is typical of todays attitude. I've seen as much litter leading up to & outside BMW Group UK HQ near Farnborough. Here it seemed like it was an attitude of 'It's someone else problem!'

The problem (talking of the ones who litter) is that they have no pride in their country, if they did they would not deface it.
I was back in UK a couple years ago and was staggered at the amount of garbage in the countryside

You are concerned at the amount of garbage?
I was concerned at the level of pollution, neglect and plain abandonment in the US.

At least with McDonald's it's relatively clean and the food is the same everytime you go. Usually relatively quick service. Toilets are always spotless.
Some transport cafes are appalling in comparison.
McDonald's are a very good customer of UK farmers so a bit of respect is called for!

There are of course varying levels of service and quality and everything else in any kind of business. I believe that the majority of fast food outlets in the UK are franchises and so not owned by McDonalds themselves perhaps?
They have proudly stated they use only British and Irish beef for a long long time, and I think the salad, eggs and milk etc have been similarly sourced for some time as well. I am not quite sure how the process works precisely, are there such things as dedicated McDonalds suppliers perhaps?

i believe they have dedicated milk suppliers,i maybe wrong but think a large local organic farm has some kind of milk contract with them

I did not realise the milk they used was organic. That is interesting.

Notice you didn't comment about where McDonald's get their chicken from.
