Sadly, McDonalds (and places like it) are literally KILLING America! They have stores on every corner, they saturate TV with advertisements and they target our children to peddle their unhealthy, junk food. Why do you think America is overweight? I mean really!

I never eat at McDonalds. Never. When I was a teenager I got sick eating there and haven't been back since.

Also, I'd much rather eat at the local one-of-a-kind places than the chains any day. The people running them are much more invested than the people working at the chains, who have little stake in their product. Plus, I must agree with Mr. Barry: It is much more fun to go to a local place where you don't know exactly what is going to show up on the plate.

To all of you McDonalds-eating twats I have but one thing to say: BOR-ing!

I would recommend not just watching the highlights, but the whole program as well. It's a bit slow, but every point he makes comes together in a spectacular finish.
