It is all about fast food . Not about Rhodos only .
McDonald’s is known worldwide for fast food – quick, affordable, and convenient. However, from a health perspective, regularly eating at McDonald’s carries significant risks. The meals are typically high in fat, sugar, salt, and artificial additives. A standard combo – like a Big Mac with fries and a soft drink – can easily exceed the recommended daily intake of calories, saturated fat, and sodium. Over time, this can lead to obesity, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.
One of the main concerns is the high energy density of the food combined with a low nutritional value. McDonald’s meals contain very few essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, or healthy fats. Instead, they are packed with artificial flavors, preservatives, and flavor enhancers to make the food taste and look appealing. This can encourage unhealthy eating habits and even trigger cravings.
Portion sizes also contribute to the problem. What was once considered a large meal is now standard. People who frequently eat fast food often become accustomed to oversized portions and lose their sense of what a healthy meal looks like. Many items are deep-fried or highly processed, which can strain digestion and promote inflammation in the body.
Finally, the marketing strategy plays a major role, especially in targeting children. Toys, colorful packaging, and catchy ads make unhealthy food more attractive. While occasional consumption is not necessarily harmful, regularly eating McDonald’s food is a clear risk factor for both physical and long-term...
Read moreRe-visit 24.8.2024: The service was much faster this time. I hope they learned from the previous experience. Side salad with balsamic vinegar was fresh and tasty, cheeseburgers nice and warm.
Visited 18.8.2024 General: probably one of the worst experiences of McDonald's i have had anywhere in the world. It was a surprise as i am used to have guaranteed level of everything in a McD.
Food: Big Mac meal with potato wedges and Sprite zero. Big Mac was good, luke warm though.. and taste wise as should be, delicious enpugh. Drink was cold. The potato wedges lacked taste, temperature and salt & pepper. Ketchup and pepper cost extra! 2/5.
Service: very crowded and noisy. The lady announced the meal in a too low voice and you really have to pay attention. 3/5
Atmosphere: upstairs is recommended. It was a bit better there. Too much people. 2/5.
Overall: sadly not too nice visit and the wedges that were under seasoned. Extra fee for zero plus environment fee for plastic lid and cup; what is another choice? Is there one? Pricing is way too high too,...
Read moreIf you are looking for an amazing McDonald’s. I highly recommend the McDonald’s located in the center of Rhodes. The customer service is above board! They really care about their customers. The service was very fast and the food was cooked perfectly. The restaurant is very clean. Absolutely no complaints at all. The restaurant has security to keep everyone safe and obviously discourage anti social behavior. The Security Officer was very professional and good at his job. All the staff I encountered were all very professional, courteous and very helpful. It should be noted I am originally from Dublin, Ireland. Lived in the United States Of America for over thirty years and served with the United States Marines all over the world. I definitely know a great McDonalds due to all my Travels and Life Experiences. I definitely will return to this amazing establishment in the near future. You definitely won’t be...
