Fast food post 1 McDonalds


McDonalds

The chicken in McDonalds is mainly sourced from the country it is being eaten in. they use the tenderloin breast rib of the chicken. It is ground up along some skin and also flavoured marinade. The chicken is moulded in the four iconic shapes (the boot, the bell, the ball and the bone). These shapes are so familiar to most without the realisation that they are made this way on purpose.

Moving on from their chicken we move into the economy and jobs in America. Did you know 1 in 8 Americans has at some point in their life been employed by McDonalds. This startling statistic shows just how much control McDonalds has over the economy and employment in America. It is because of this that America is 12th in the world for obesity with 35% of the population being overweight. I find this scary and the only way to control this is to reduce to number of McDonalds from 14,267 to at most 10,000. In 2013 McDonalds raked in a whopping $28.11 billion up from 2005 of $19.12 billion. Can you see the trend?
