Mc Donald’s celebrating 40 years in Australia

McDonald’s is the world’s largest junk food chain, serving approximately 64 million customers daily. There have reports of how dodgy deals and deception was used to pry the original business from the McDonald brothers by the new business owner Ray Kroc.

Although there are many other brands and trademarks of junk food, like Hungry Jacks (Burger King), Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC), Wendy’s, Donut King, the McDonald’s name is synonymous with obese American lower class eaters.

In Australia, nickname or the colloquial term for McDonald's is also Macca's or McChuck's (referring to the slang term chucking up - vomiting), which is a reflection on how society sees McDonald's.

McDonald's is the pinnacle of junk food success, where its marketing strategy promotes its carcinogenic foodstuffs to the masses.

The food without any doubt is carcinogenic, also causing arteriosclerosis, obesity, and many other health issues, depending on the individual.

Ironically McDonald’s also supports a charity called Ronald McDonald House, which supports families of children with cancer.

Registered charities in Australia are subject to government handouts, in the form of tax breaks, and government funding.

The so called food that is for sale at McDonald’s, is high in calorific value, low in nutritional value, laced with sugar, and sodium, which are detrimental to good health in the quantities supplied by McDonald’s in one meal alone.

Quite simply put, McDonald’s provides a product for consumption that is detrimental to the consumer’s health, something that is contrary to any honest company’s mission statement.

An interview with a McDonald’s franchise owner also revealed that McDonald’s is also one of the world’s larger realtors, meaning that it owns the land it occupies, a goal set out in its business plan.

McDonald’s is celebrating 40 years of feeding junk food to the herd or lower class population of Australia. An accolade truly to be proud of.
