Call me skeptic, but I found many of those facts to be dubious.
For instance, 1 in 4 Americans eat at McDonald's daily? Really? If so, then what about all the other restaurants out there, how do they survive economically?
[update] I just checked McDonald's 2009 Annual Report. USA sales were $4,295,000,000. There are 300,000,000 people in the USA. If 1 in 4 Americans ate at McDonald's daily, then that's 75,000,000 * 365 = 27,375,000,000 transactions per year. $4,295,000,000 / 27,375,000,000 = $6.37 per transaction... you might think that's a reasonable number, but do the other 225,000,000 people NEVER eat at McDonald's?
