Pssh, pretty sure if I were to try and buy anything for 50$ they'd tell me to either pay with € instead or GTFO.

big mac index is pretty funny, it was created by the economist british newspaper that is great newspaper, not biased or retarded like most (link to podcasts) and people started taking it seriously for some reason in argentina one time they actually started manipulating the prices of the big macs to boost their rating on the big mac index lol its only supposed to be a lighthearted joke system though, its obviously not ideal because the big macs between countries are not all consistent in shape/size/content like india has highest number because it is tiny chicken burgers not big mac

If anyone has this 2 for 5$ thing or its equivalent going on in their country, remember this: More food cheap means it being less healthy.

Yes... and No. More food for less buck makes you want to buy more food that you actually need. In this case, the food is unhealthy in the beginning and only gets worse.

Mcdonalds gets so much hate, everyone think they are too good to eat there now. I love the place, I drop by when I'm in town, say hello downs syndrome cleaner, order 2 double cheese burgers to go, sometimes I see people I know or from back in school days, saw my old teacher there recently. When I was kid it was my favorite place for birthdays, very happy memories and now all I see is ppl giving mcdonalds shit because some fat ass reality tv show guy made a documentary, pfft.

Wat? "that" -> "than"? If so then no, not necessarily. It might surprise you but some people actually know that food rots eventually. quote:

The only time price of food correlates with healthiness is when you're comparing one type of food in a very limited region (e.g. within a city). Saying one country has healthier food than another because it's more expensive is dumb dumb. It would mean Japanese bell pepper is roughly 50 times healthier than Serbian one. Now a more important thing is that Big Mac sucks. Most US brands have a poor time in Serbia (Bosnia too) because we offer actually good, cheap and healthy burgers, called "Pljeskavica":  Also:

It's not just that though. I'm pretty sure fruits from my garden (free) are healthier than those I can buy in a store. Similarly food I cook on my own is cheaper and potentially healthier than food I order. Of course, probably not all the food I could acquire for free or very cheap is as healthy as any other fruit, but in the end "price" really only shows how much something costs to buy at a certain place and nothing else.

McDonalds is the bomb in UK. The breakfast is great and costs like 3.40, and you can get a cheeseburger + chips for like 2.40. Meanwhile, burger king charge 6 pounds for just the sandwich.
