: : : If the place is so bad than how come so many people still eat there?: : Damn good question. I think the answer is "advertising".
: : (Of course, there are secondary answers which involve children being reared on the nasty stuff, and the fact that most McD's users seem to display about as much independent thought as the cows they eat, etc.)
(uh-oh. Stuck capslock. Sure sign of dazzling wit and intellect to come. My keyboard is shaking with fright here...)

: WELL GIDEON....DO YOU EAT MEAT FROM YOUR SUPERMARKET....
Actually, no. When I did eat meat (up until about last Christmas) I made sure that it was "cruelty-free" organic meat from a registered organic meat producer inspected by the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). Now I have taken the easy way out - I just don't eat meat any more.
: ISNT THIS THE SAME????
Entirely possibly. Since I don't eat the stuff at all any more, it doesn't make any difference.
: ESPECIALLY SEEING YOUR COUNTRY HAD A PLEASANT DISEASE..........."MAD COWS DISEASE"????
Ah, this would be BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encepalophy), which manifests itself in humans as a form of Creutzfelds-Jakob Disease(CJD). Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but CJD has been found in America too (and not only in the X Files...).
Given that American slaughterhouses operate on broadly similar principles to British ones, you could be in for a rather nasty shock quite soon. The crucial question for America is "Are your cows fed recycled cow brain?". If so, start worrying. Of course, the fact that CJD has displayed hibernation periods of 5 years (typically) does mean that BSE-infected beef has been consumed for a good few years now across the world.
Today, Britain, tomorrow, the world...
Enjoy your meal.
