In the 2004 documentary called Super Size Me, an American independent filmmaker ate every meal, every day for 30 days only at a McDonald's. The film documents his physical and psychological health and explores how the fast food industry encourages poor nutrition for its own profit.

Advantage: You always get what you'd expect

Disadvantage: What you'd expect isn't much.

Hamburgers are a “democratic” food  that even republicans eat. I read in the Swiss newspapers prior to the arrival of the American president in Davos to the World Economic Forum next Tuesday  (accompanied by a staff of 1500 people) that there will be a big issue since the McDonald restaurant in Davos burned down some years ago and never was rebuilt.

That said, I love to eat once a year a Big Mac, a reminiscence of the year I spent in the States as a teenager.

P.S. to those that may not have liked or understood how I used the word “democratic” here an explanation. I wanted to say that in the States and in some countries in Europe, McDonalds restaurants are places that are affordable to people who have a low income! In that sense everybody in those countries can go to these restaurants and that may be considered democratic. But in the States there are two political parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican (the party of the current president of the US).

So I tried to make a joke. LOL
