Those are for sure factors, but McDonalds just a pretty good place to hang out if you're poor, especially in the developing world. Lots of them have free wi-fi, power outlets. They're air conditioned / heated. You can basically hang out all day for next to free. Really, it has all of the amenities of somewhere like Starbucks, just at a lower price point. I'm not a fast food apologist, just saying that you're missing the perspective the gp is trying to bring.
