Yea, for McDonalds!

Yes, that is right, Yea for McDonalds! Here's why...the most ridiculous thing ever.... When the state's and all come out and blame McD's for children being over weight, and the governments (at least here in Calif) made laws that Happy Meals can't contain no little toys as that is why the kids buy them (parents don't buy them for the kids you see)...for the toy and then eat the fattening food and then get fat and they have to include a fruit or vege, (like anyone wants to go to fast food for those items!). They changed a little bit, but I knew that McD's wasn't going to let "them get away with this". It all settled down for awhile. BUt I have been noticing on the TV commercials lately, that they are advertising the "Regular" kind of burger...Big Mac, 1/4er Pounder etc. a lot more that usual. Then it struck me....they can't advertise to kids, so....they found another group to advertise to...adults! I thought that pretty cool that they didn't let government dictate what they can sell based on something so stupid as them being the cause of overweight children. Granted, like all fast food, McD's is just junk food and all, and I don't eat it often, but if you eat a Big Mac once a week and use common sense the rest of the week with what you eat, that Big Mac isn't going to hurt you in the least, but they don't want you to know that! But then...this morning on the News...the ticker tape goes by saying McD's is hiring from food workers to management, something like 5,000 new employees I think it was, and it will cost them $518million for this hiring. It also said that this will improve the jobless rate by 7%. Granted it is low wages and all and low wages aren't going to fix our current finacial problem...but it helps. Anyone that works there gets more than being without an income at all and taxes are paid to the states which helps support the state...if more companies would do this, we could get out of this BK status. So yeah, I do say Yea McD's! It isn't your fault parents are to lazy to feed their kids properly, and it isn't your fault the parents don't make their kids put the hand held games and toys down and go play outside, yet you got blamed for it. And now...you are double decking them the best way ever...just showing what else is on the menu to beat them at their own game and point the focus to adults and creating jobs. I don't see any of the so-called "more healthy" companies/resturants/business doing any hiring! I don't see any "value meals" or dollar items on their menus to help get something to eat at a low price. Granted, not the best food, but if you don't have alot of money, you can't afford the "more healthy" places and if they don't lower their prices to accomodate the incomes... So, YEA McD's!!!!
