With all this talk about McDeath's, since I have traveled, I know that it's different overseas

Eating McDeath's in places like Europe, Asia and the Middle East is a completely different experience than in the US.

Here are some international menu choices:

In India, there are no Big Macs because the Hindu people don’t eat beef.
However, they have the Maharaja Mac, which is a Big Mac made of lamb or chicken meat. There is also a vegetarian burger, the McAloo Tikki.

In parts of Canada, have a lobster dinner with the McLobster lobster roll. Pardon me – “McHomard” (in French).

In fish-loving Norway, they have the McLaks, a sandwich made of grilled salmon and dill sauce.

You can see Mickey Death's international menu here: http://aboutmcdonalds.com/country/map.html

I look at these international menu items and I swear that they're treating Americans like crap.

and serves the other countries customers what they want and will pay for.

Personally, I haven't eaten at McD for roughly a decade, and even then it was because I was with a group with limited time so we picked one restaurant by consensus. It reminded my why I don't eat there.

She told me they offered hamburgers with beet root. Can't say I've ever run across that.

were (and might still be) doing in the US. Years ago I used to get their Filet-O-Fish, for example, thinking it was a healthy choice, man was I duped by them into eating greased up fish full of fat.

McD's serves that better stuff in other countries because other countries have higher standards when it comes to food.
