McDonald’s is pure oil - maybe they hide it better? The smell of oil carries for a mile at least past any McDonald’s.

And unfortunately it's chemically expressed trans-fat oil.
We'd all be better off if they went back to the traditional use of tallow.

You're about 13 years behind. McD's (or almost any US franchise) doesn't use trans fat oils anymore.

I think McD's uses liquid oil, so not hydrogenated (trans fat). You hydrogenate oil to make it solid at room temperature, as a substitute for animal fats. If you're going to fry in it there's no point in not starting with an oil that is liquid at room temperature.

The smell coming out of the Subway franchises here is wonky. Will not eat.
If I get a subway I tend to ram it with as many vegetables as possible, at McDonalds I pretty much always £5s worth of burgers inc. a small fries, not healthy but not that bad. I made the mistake of getting a KFC delivered recently and Jesus Christ it was like an Oil Well.
