Nonsense, the problem with McDonalds and other fast food restaurants is that it barely qualifies as food -- it uses as few real ingredients as possible because real ingredients have a short shelf life.
What non-real ingredients do you think they use? Hamburgers are pretty simple. It's not like Kraft selling guacamole made with food coloring instead of avocados.
I've no idea what mcd.s does, but you can add all sorts of crap to hamburger before it becomes too obvious. Probably a lot of it is not ... so appetizing (the bits you don't want to know you're eating, etc).
My mom used to buy hamburger meat that was bulked up with soy protein, mainly because it was cheaper than pure ground meat. [I absolutely loved the taste of that stuff actually, much more than all-meat burgers! Wish I could find it as an adult...]

They also use lots of other fats, and lots of salt, and lots of sugar.
They use it because it's tasty.
"Supersize Me" on Haute Cuisine would have similar catastrophic results, but be considerably more expensive.

You can still cover real food in fat and sugar and salt.
Someone eating food bought only from Michelin starred restaurants is going to be in trouble unless they're careful about what they eat.
