I don't think being Anti-Mcdonalds means you're anti-American.
I mean he's wrong, but that term is thrown around FAR TOO OFTEN.
Ok lets see now.
Consumer driven demand can be flawed sometimes in the way that, people don't always make smart choices. McDonalds exists only because there is a demand for that product. McDonalds has managed to feed more people, at a lower cost, in more places then has ever been tried in human history. It's actually shocking how much McDonalds food is consumed every day. Once again, ONLY because the demand is there. But its food for christ sake (Well, thats debatable:2razz
People want to make bad choices of diet, I suppose they should be able to. Society unfortunately accepts this, but Obesity is fast becoming a bigger killer then cigarettes or heart disease (Which it sometimes causes). When I come down to the states, I am literally shocked at the size of people that I see. It's unbelievable that a human being could actually become that large. It's ****ing scary.
But its their choice, and just because there are demands for things, doesn't mean we always cave in and give it. Child Pornography is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, doesn't mean we support it and corporatize it. We're not THAT greedy. Now before you think I'm at all comparing McDonalds to child pornography, I'm not, I'm merely speaking about Consumer Driven Demand.
So. There you have it.
