Well, since we are talking about McDonald's, you could also look at the Big Mac Index: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index

But yes, a cheeseburger here costs 10 DKK. That's 1.50 USD. I don't know what a cheeseburger costs in the US, but I'd imagine it's 1 USD.

More like $4.

Cheeseburger at McDonalds is about $1.29ish in the US.

That's a big mac, not a cheeseburger.

You're right, I assumed big mac from the index.

American Fast Food chains are more expensive in most of Europe compared to the US. Is that a bad thing?

Not just American fast food chains. Everything is more expensive. Yes, I can see how people think it is bad.

A quick search shows that a meal at McDoanld's is 50% more in Denmark than in the US.

This has more to do with the cost of labour than that of the underlying food ingredients.
