Alec and Elyssa would have to agree. 
We've been meeting Nick for lunch at McDonald's more times than I would like to admit the last four months (since we discovered Alec and Lyssa will eat chicken nuggets) for half price happy meal Wednesdays. We typically go to the same restaurant by Nick's work, where we order the same thing every time. They usually mess up or forget at least one thing and Nick politely has it corrected. It's sad to say that the McDonald's lady knows us, but she does... and she likes us... a lot. So much that last week she gave us one of all the Happy Meal toys so the kids could have ALL the "Ice Age 3" characters. The kids were enthralled all afternoon. Now if only we could learn the next life lesson...
Life Lesson #2: Share.

I don't know what to think about McDonalds. In some ways it represents all that is evil about the food industry, but in other ways the company have been incredibly adaptable to the demands of consumers. We were outraged at their supersized meals so they stopped selling them. We demanded healthier food options so they started selling some. We wanted nutritional information and now McDonalds has it available on all their products. Many restaurants still refuse to release that information, probably because if you knew what was in their food, you wouldn't eat it. McDonalds may be the head of a very large, disgusting animal, but it certainly isn't the most vile part of that animal. It's just the part that gets the most attention.
