McDonald’s – Let’s Be Honest

I have a confession to make: I am one of those weirdoes who do not particularly like burgers. (It gets worse: I donít like ice cream either.)

However, I would never presume to assume that my personal choices have any bearing on other peopleís tastes, neither I would assume that their choices are in any way inferior/superior to mine.

I applaud the worldwide success of McDonald’s: they provide quality, relatively cheap food and if I find myself traveling in totally out of the world places that feature McDo I may just chose to eat there, just to stay ahead of typhoid and HepatitisA.

I did not watch Spurlock movie for the same reason I did not watch F911: I have viscerally negative reaction to propaganda. Of course many of my friends did and they were nothing but delighted with the ìMcDonaldís badî message. However, all of them were startled when I pointed out that eating 3 times a day in any restaurant whatsoever would result in significant weight gain. They acknowledged that I was most likely right; it just never occurred to them. Such is sad result of a groupthink.
