Today, it's been 10 days since my family and I have been visiting France. I've always wanted to try their culinary specialties but my dad says we "can't trust them". We've eaten at McDonald's 9/10 times. FML

Today, after months of avoiding fast food, I decided to eat some McDonald's french fries. Though the fries were delicious, they were not worth the agonizing 15 minutes I spent on the toilet afterwards. FML
Today, my friends wanted to try to dine and dash at a McDonald's. I had to explain why that wouldn't work. FML
Today, I made a tasty, healthy plant-based lunch for my family. They ate a few bites, spat it out, and then went to McDonald's "to eat real food, you know, food with meat in it." FML
Today, my parents ate at a new Italian restaurant. They said it was the best they'd ever had and brought me some, insisting I try it. It had so much garlic and sugar in it that I couldn't finish. They're upset because one of our cousins owns the restaurant, and they say I'm not being supportive. We're Irish, not Italian. FML
Today, we're visiting my wife's extended family. They're nice people but they eat like crap; I haven't had a single fresh vegetable or fruit in days, and everything they cook is overcooked and smothered in cheap sauce or "seasonings." My stomach is about to go on strike. FML
Today, my family are refusing to go out to eat with me anymore. Apparently, me liking my food cooked a certain way infuriates them because it delays our order, and makes the wait staff hate us. FML
Today, I was making dinner for my family while my wife was at work. She walked in the door with McDonald's, even though she knew I was cooking. Then our kids saw and started screaming that they wanted McDonald's too and that it was unfair. I've told her not to pull this shit and she won't listen. FML
Today, I was excited to go to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. When the chef started doing tricks however, my spoiled brat of a sister started screaming and crying in terror. My parents insisted we leave and go to McDonald's because she was upset. She's 11. FML
Today, I found out that my restaurant's food is so bad that the only reason some people visit is because they're punishing their kids. FML
Today, I was on a date in a fancy restaurant. I tried to show off my skills by ordering our meal in French, since some of the dishes had french-sounding names. The waiter replied in fluent French and I have no idea what he said. FML

You can trust the food, just not their military.

Make him try French chocolate. it usually works as an eye-opener. (every European who has ever tried Hershey's kisses will know what I mean ) . Have a pic nic too, buy 12 month old Comté , a ripe cantaloupe melon and a simple baguette . Don't let them stop you , they'll thank you afterwards.

Why did you go to France just to eat American food? Does he make you stay in the hotel too? Sounds like a waste of money to travel just to do things you could've done at home.

If you start calling it Chez McDos maybe it'll feel a little more french?

Go out on your own to eat some time. I've been and it will be totally worth it.

McDonald's is the last restaurant you should trust

It actually makes me angry that there are people fortunate enough to holiday with their family in a place like France and then insist on eating McDonalds. My god what a bloody waste! half the experience is the food! Anybody who goes on holidays to places with such culinary delight should be ashamed at even thinking about getting mcdonalds. I wouldn't even eat that crap at home. Sorry OP but you need to stand up and go and get some FOOD not cardboard!

You can't trust mcdonald. It's kind of sad. I'm french and of course you can't trust some restaurants but you just have to choose them wisely and some are just amazing.
