Honestly, that's true of all fast food places. They employ food scientists and psychologists to addict as many people as possible to their products. And once you're hooked, it's hard as fuck to get away. "I don't go to Burger King anymore, but man I miss Whoppers" is the sort of thing I've heard more than once.
McDonalds specifically spends billions targeting children on places like YouTube and Instagram. They target poor children in developing countries, and it's why they have playgrounds and happy meals.
It's sociopathic calculations intended to increase revenue at the cost of lifelong health consequences for children.
