I'll counter that generalization with another: Most McDonalds lovers are too stupid to know that what they are eating is unhealthy, too ignorant to listen to others who are happy to tell them, too lazy to cook for themselves.
if you don't like a place don't go there.
I dont.

And you just realized recently that the food is greasy? And so what, home cooked meals can be greasy and high in fat content too! Furthermore, I find it hard to see what a post like yours and the 20 other similar statements have added to the discussion other than an overwhelming and pathetic case of bandwagon self righteousness.

Do you honestly think caring for ones child's health is an act of pathetic self righteousness?

Wow, do I have trouble with this entire post. ALL the facts are distorted. And I love how everyone is piling on the "McDonald's is evil" campaign. Exactly what is evil about this company?
The OP seems to be upset that Mr. Kroc wanted to include the entire family in his business model. What's wrong with that? If I owned a restaurant I would want the entire world to eat there. I want to have the maximum clientele humanly possible. Are you wrongly equating obesity with McDonalds? You actually want me to believe that if every McDonald's restaurant disappeared tonight that the whole nation would be skinny by the end of the month? The obesity problem would be solved?
Food additives? Is that it? Funny...just about every food manufacturer uses them but you're just crying about McDonalds. How come McDonalds is evil when they use them but nobody else is?
The claim that he drove the McDonald brothers out of business? So what!? When the McDonald brothers were content with a few franchises, Kroc wasn't. That's the business world. How many businesses have come and gone? Are you crying over Woolworth's, Kodak Film, American Motors, and TWA? They were driven out of business - why aren't you calling the corporations that did that evil too?
McDonalds is a shining example of efficiency, streamlining, and standardization. Their techniques are studied worldwide. They spend millions on research and development to give their customers what they want at the best possible profit, yes profit, that nasty word that seems to drive this board insane.
I understand where this animosity comes from. It's the stupid Occupy mentality. Corporation makes money therefore Corporation is evil. No mention of their charitable works whatsoever. No mention of their effect on the economy. Just knee-jerk reactionary bleating of the sheep.

Wow I never realized...
Do you get off on being such a judgmental imbecile?

I actually question the truth in that statement.
Wow I never realized...
Well I am here to battle ignorance in all its hideous forms
Do you get off on being such a judgmental imbecile?
Judgmental, yes; Imbecile--I'll let the jury decide.
Question it all you want, why in the world would I lie?
Dear God, what a troll... Get a life man!

I am assuming you are falsifying the above because your argument pro-McDonald's has no validity and you would most likley have mentioned this earlier in the discourse if the claim was in-fact truthful

Get some knowledge man!
