According to Stone, fast food should be approached as an occasional treat rather than a regular part of a healthy diet.

Stone specifically expressed concern about the Double Big Mac, a burger with double the amount of meat compared to a regular Big Mac.

While he acknowledges that indulging in fast food occasionally is acceptable, he believes that consuming a burger with four meat patties may be excessive.

The chef emphasized the importance of maintaining balance in one's diet and listening to one's body cues.

He suggested checking in with oneself throughout the day to avoid reaching a state of extreme hunger, which often leads to overindulging.

Stone also encouraged choosing natural, whole foods over processed options.

Although the Double Big Mac has made appearances on the McDonald's menu in the UK, it is currently not available.

While it may be tempting to indulge in this larger-than-life burger, it contains a potential impact on one's health, particularly in terms of calorie intake and overall nutritional value.

Previously, a man sued McDonald's has caught the attention of many. 

The customer claims that he nearly lost his life after consuming a Big Mac with cheese from the popular fast-food chain.

The man had a strong allergy to milk and asked specifically for his food to have no cheese. Sadly, his request was ignored, and he had a dangerous allergic reaction.

Charles Olsen ordered food through DoorDash at a McDonald's restaurant in New York City. 

Despite leaving a note specifying his milk allergy and instructing the staff to remove the cheese from his meal, Olsen was still served a Big Mac with cheese.

Shortly after consuming a few bites, he began experiencing alarming symptoms associated with his allergy.

Olsen's allergic reaction included an itchy throat, swelling, difficulty breathing, hives, and a burning sensation throughout his body.

Fortunately, Olsen's girlfriend promptly rushed him to the hospital to receive urgent medical attention.

Olsen's lawsuit not only seeks compliance with food and allergy policies but also demands specific compensation for the incident.

McDonald's has acknowledged the complaint and assured Olsen that customer safety is their top priority.

The fast-food giant is currently conducting a thorough investigation into the matter and will provide a suitable response in due course.
