-
The time it takes to digest food depends on each individual person and their specific make-up so it is difficult to say exactly how long a burger takes to digest or stay in your stomach. However McDonald's burgers are no different to any other beef items that you can buy elsewhere and should take the same amount of time to digest as these.

-
McDonald's regards diet as an individual choice. What and when people eat depends on lots of factors and it would be wrong to prescribe how often people should eat McDonald's food. People should enjoy McDonald's as part of a varied and balanced diet.

THe pork is understandable, but why would you use the other ingredients (dextrose, dried glucose syrup, yeast extract) and what effect do do they have on the body with regular consumption.
-
Along with the quality cut of pork, the other ingredients that make up the sausage patty are used for seasoning. Overall they make up less than 3% of the sausage and therefore have very little effect on the body.
Excessive levels of dextrose and glucose syrup in general could lead to weight gain in the future. But, eating the sausage patty as part of a balanced diet that takes into consideration regular activity should not cause no adverse side affects.

-
Diet is a matter of personal choice and it would be highly assumptive for McDonald's to make sweeping statements about what people should or shouldn't eat. McDonald's would join with nutritionists in saying that the key to a healthy lifestyle is a balanced and varied diet coupled with physical activity.
