McD's was a treat in my household when I was a child. It was a family place and all of the meals were eaten in moderation within a family setting. One of the coolest things was my parents bringing us some fries and a Fillet-o-Fish if we did well on a test.
Fast forward almost 30 years and fast food is a daily meal replacement for people. The food is bigger and more fattening than it was when I was a kid. Some families are too tired, lazy, inept, whatever, to place meals within the family context. Everyone's eating until their brains fall out. That isn't McD's fault but capitalism is based on supply and need. Capitalists are strategic in how they make money and therefore aren't fully free from blame.
(I still love a FRESH BATCH of McD's fries, sundae, ice cream cone, Fillet-o-Fish, or McChicken from time to time)
