: : It's really too easy to say that 'I've eaten there and I'm still living'. McDonalds rely on that attitude to perpetuate their empire. It's time we all faced the fact that people like McDonalds are killing the world and exploiting the less fortunate. The only way to stop it is to refuse to patronise them.

: As a USA citizens, it is difficult to understand why people in other counties are so upset with McDonald's and blame almost every problem on them. I do not understand your attitude or reasoning. Like any business, they have good and bad points, but certainly are not worth the time the world takes to "bash" them. In America, we are more concerned about and solving problems such as drugs, crime, health, society, etc.

You bet we are. The corporate-owned media don't do negative stories
on McDonald's, or other multinationals. Despite everything we've read
about McD's in this site, the major news agencies can't be bothered.
After all, it's much easier to blame the poor for our problems--they
don't initiate libel suits.

:Don't "foreigners" have better things to do with their time? Stop taking the small stuff so seriously.

And it's all small stuff. Low wages, poor working conditions,unhealthy
food, union busting, garbage. Just another day in America. Someday
you foreigners will understand that.
