The discussion of eating at McDonald's reminded me of when a friend and I were in a third-world country. We had just completed our visit to the museum and needed to return to our hotel to return to the USA that evening. We were four-five hours away. We wanted lunch before leaving for the hotel. The museum had a little restaurant, and we asked our guide if we could eat there. He said we could. However, we thought to ask, Is it clean and safe? He replied, If you want clean and safe, you eat at McDonald's. We all ate at McDonald's! (Ordinarily, I never eat in McDonald's in the USA or in foreign countries.)
