    This time on Did You Know Food, we take a look at the history of McDonald's, including how the chain started out as a hot dog stand, how the company was restructured to focus on burgers, fries and milkshakes, and how people would get Happy Meals just for the toys.

      I'd really appreciate it if you guys didn't 'just' talk about junk food, by the way. Perhaps you guys could do videos on those "Whole Foods" stores, or entire episodes focusing on fruits and vegetables, including Acai Berries, Kale and other, healthier foods. I'm not saying you should STOP making videos on junkier foods altogether, I'm just saying it might be a cool idea.

      Yes, there's actually a person who has eaten an average of two Big Macs every day of his life for the past 46 years. His name is Don Gorske. He ate his 30,000th Big Mac last May. He is 64, has low cholesterol and ran the San Diego marathon in 2006. He's probably an atypical example, but he's proof that there's more to taking care of yourself besides eating more fruits and vegetables.

    Fun fact about "Super Size Me", no short term or long term research group has ever duplicated his results. It's also well known with a little research that his proclaimed caloric intake doesn't match what he claims to have eaten. I'm by no means saying McDonald's is healthy, but super size me is another example of a documentary that was largely faked. Still probably wouldn't want to copy that diet though, it's not as bad as he claimed, but it's still bad.

    For me and my family back in the 90s, McDonalds was pretty rare, me and my family went to one for the first time in 2000 when i was 5 and we had a horribly bad experience, almost 10 years later we started going to McDonalds regularly and once we finally tried Burger King, we thought that it was better and decided eating that instead. For context, Burger King here has more qualit, its cheaper and emptier than McDonalds, so in the end we got the food faster.
    My bad experience was that i in my Happy Meal they added chili by accident, not only that but the food was in poor quality, the games where insecure for kids, the local closed early after because the kitchen was infested with rats.

    McDonalds is great accomodation food for autistic folks like me. It's specifically because it's relatively bland that I can actually eat their food. They saved me from a lot of evenings going to bed without anything in my stomach because I didn't have the mental energy to cook anything.
    I can applaud their efforts for healthier food, but only if they also keep their more bland options for folks like me that need something reliable over something good.

    I know, not all McDonald's are like the one I worked at but that being said if you were to ask me if McDonald's had a negative effect on my town I'd say yes (or at least the town I was born in).
    I worked at this McDonald's in a ghetto town in Canada from 2004-2011 when I was a kid to young adult. There was no such thing as an eight-hour shift. Most employees were booked for either 24 hour or 48-hour shifts. I was part-time because I was in school so I only worked like 4 pm til midnight. I remember this one week they booked my boss, a middle-aged Aboriginal guy who's just dedicated and soft-spoken for a 120-hour shift---that's right five fucking days straight. If they had any time they'd let you sleep for maybe 45 mins but the rest of the time it was go, go, go. My boss made it four days and six hours before he jumped into the recycling dumpster for a nap. One of the managers found him and told him he wouldn't be paid then said: "Go home, you don't work here anymore until we decide you do."
    There weren't any bathroom breaks if you went to use the facilities the supervisors would angrily bang on the door. They'd be screaming profanities and threatening you with temporary or permanent demotions until you got out. Then they'd follow you around screaming "hey fucko think you're better than me? I'M TALKING TO YOU! DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME." When it came to collecting your paycheque you first had to listen to the general manager list every mistake you've ever made and go on a long speech about how they should have fired you and would have if they weren't so nice.
    The woman who owned our store needed people to help take down the old McDonalds while they got ready to open the new one the next day. So she offered to buy us Subway and came back with ham and cheese (despite asking us all what we wanted on them). The subs tasted off but we had an extra boost of energy so we agreed to stay all night. That boost of energy was like being on Cocaine and Adderal at the same time. The next day she straight up told us that she put caffeine pills in our subs because she needed us to work.
    A few years later the labour relations found out what was happening and cracked down hard on them, making them adhere to provincial guidelines. When I come to visit my family I go to that McDonald's and hear employees complaining about working 8 hours a day six days a week and I just want to laugh and say "buddy that's peanuts, wait until you hear what it was like when I worked here."

    A fun fact about me: I ate at the McDonald’s in Sedona, Arizona with the turquoise logo on the tenth anniversary of 9/11. It’s in an absolutely beautiful area of the state. There was a small group of us High-school seniors and our two chaperons that were heading back from a weekend retreat that Sunday and we went in for breakfast. I don’t remember what I got to eat though I remember that it was fresh, since they had just opened for the day, and delicious. There was a young lady on that trip that was one of the most beautiful girls I had met in my life up to that point and we sat outside looking up at the red rocks on the mountain side. The weather was as perfect as you could ever hope it to be. We talked about where we were and what we remembered from the day of the attacks and I will never forget how surreal it felt to be eating a delicious breakfast with my friends having just spent the weekend celebrating and talking about the next chapter of our lives, standing next to that beautiful girl, surrounded by natural beauty while remembering, mourning, and taking a moment of silence for the dead and their loved ones. It’s a moment of gratitude and humility that will remain with me as long as I live.
