Sales are down. Closing 25 stores. Hundreds of spotty teenagers out of work. Thousands of children (or 'Happy Meal Midgets' as I like to call them) to be spared the horrors of high salt / sugar garbage. A massive money grabbing corporation built on greed and lazy gullible people.

I am no 'anti globalisationist', but the thought of all those shareholders sitting around the board room wondering just what to do about just fills me with glee.

"A massive money grabbing corporation built on greed and lazy gullible people"

You mean "money-grabbing" as in "profit-making"?

Erm...that's purpose of business...like....the whole reasons it's there in the first place.

Andy - you are missing the point. I am a great advocate for money making businesses, but not ones who know outright that their products are so unhealthy, but are happy enough to take the money. Same with tobacco manufacturers.

......and manufacturers of motorbikes/4by4s/skis/rugby balls/beer/whisky/gin/white bread et al.

DogsKnob-- what a p1sspottically,trainspotterish mind you have.

Nobody forces anyone to go Mcdonalds and actually eat the stuff they serve, which is referred to as food, so therefore i don't think it is fair to criticise the way they run the business. I believe you can obtain the nutritional values of each product fairly easily, so anyone who moans about it being 'too fatty' etc should just not eat there, simple as that.

[Suaver]

Sorry, I forgot to add that I do agree that they treat their staff far too badly for them to actually care what they serve up.

I'm afraid that is illogical Suaver, nobody forces people to smoke but Imperial Tobacco make a fortune, nobody forces people to drink but the likes of Smirnoff and Tennants make a fortune too, and both of them have the potential to kill you, they are making money in an immoral way if you want to look at it that way, and both to me are as disgusting as a McDonalds is to you.
