1 LB Ground Beef in the states is around $2 - $3, A pack of cheese is around $1 - $2.

1 LB of beef will produce about 4 burgers, cooking time anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes.

4 Burgers X 20 minutes cooking - 10 minute clean up = Costs $3 - $5.

4 McDonalds double cheeseburgers X a three minute wait = $3.97

I have to agree that McDonalds is cheaper then cooking your own burgers, also I have to agree that poverty and obesity go hand in hand. Alot of people who can afford $4 for burgers from McDonalds cant affort the money and time it would take to make it themselves.
