Exactly. Not only is it not cheap on a regular basis, but it isn't even that much food from my experience at the cheaper end of McDonalds.

You'd be far better off cooking your own food if you have the time, but the problem is a lot of these people are so busy working their arses off to stay afloat that they don't have that time.

Those 1€ (1.40 in Austria apparently) burgers are barely enough to satiate a child, if combined with fries. They are nowhere near enough to feed an adult.

It's been very long that these are 1€ here in Germany. Mcd is expensive and in a normal restaurant you can get very good meals for 15€.

Shows how detached these politicians really are.
