> As an aside: I will hear this ocassionally from Americans visiting here. That the food at McDonald's tastes better. This is probably why. Fewer chemicals, more local produce.

>Europe actually regulates this ingredient because they know this man-made chemical was never intended to be consumed by humans. This whole time McDonalds has known about this and chooses to continue to serve it’s US citizens silly putty.

Some of that article is absolute trash.

Pretty good NPR article about French McDonalds locations: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2012/01/24/145698222/wh...

Including a leader picture of the McBaguette. Never ate there, but I have had a decent local McBier in .de.
