I'm afraid, Liz, that I wouldn't eat, or allow my child or pupils to eat, McD's crap even if I/she/they were starving. Not only is it full of crap - large quantities of fat of various types, sugar, salt and loads of artificial additives, but they treat their suppliers, animals, staff and competitors disgracefully. The same (to a lesser extent)goes for BK, KFC and, I suspect, Pizza Hut.

I agree with Les Barker and others who try and use supermarket cafés or transport caffs. Little Chef is a little better but expensive and still fatty. Picnics are best - but I agree, not much fun in November.
