Have you ever thought about how a fast food restaurant would help the town? Well having a Mcdonalds would increase the profit and possibly population. There is a total of 14,248 of Mcdonalds in the United States. Think about all of the times you’ve stopped at a Mcdonald's just to get some quick food on the road to or from somewhere. Having a fast food restaurant in town would increase the town's visits, increase sales, and would give early teens somewhere to make a few dollars.

North America in the last 15 years has become engulfed in the fast food trend creating enormous individuals. The billion dollar sales of the MacDonald’s burgers have invaded society and now are seen as a daily activity. Not only has the sale of fast food affected people weights the sheer size of each meal also contributes as well. This new concept of “bigger is better” has swept across North America forcing people to buy more fast food that is needed at each visited. I believe that something need to be done to stop this “growing” epidemic.

Fast food has been around since before 1950 and has only grown in popularity since. One of the first and now most popular fast food restaurant is McDonalds. Opened by the McDonald brothers in 1948 as a small restaurant chain in California was soon transformed by Ray Kroc into the corporation many Americans know today as McDonald 's. After the opening and growth of McDonald 's, many other restaurants began to follow the same system as them. This resulted in Wendy 's, Burger King, the growth of White Castle, and many other very popular fast food establishments all over the United States.

In the non-fiction text, McJobs, by Eric Schlosser, it is explained how fast food chains like McDonald’s have changed the country. They have transformed small towns such as Martinsburg, West Virginia, from spacious orchards into busy cities. Because of this, some may argue that fast food has made a negative impact. However, fast food also provides jobs for millions of young, inexperienced workers. A lot of evidence can be found for both sides of the argument, so it is clear that fast food has made many changes for good and for bad. A lot of things that you wouldn't expect have been affected by fast food: the economy, people’s health, population, and more.

In Cambodia, mostly children have to start their life at school at the age of six years old; whereas, I started to be educated at the age of seven years old, in one of the public school in Cambodia. What I remember about that time is that I was so terrified to be sitting in the class. I was crying and wanted desperately going back to my house, but my parents tried to persuade me in order to stop crying and making noise in front of other classmates who sat silently and looked at me. It was so embarrassing to tell some of my stories when I was a child.

Compared to other foods it 's something that working people and ordinary people can go out and enjoy. McDonald 's is the most popular fast food chain.

Did you know that 1 in 8 Americans are employed by Mcdonalds? That is about 40 million people in the United States in poverty, getting paid minimum wage, and likely receiving welfare from the government. McDonalds is a fast food superpower, whose Golden Arches are more easily recognized than the cross.

McDonalds takes away the natural beauty from many places, takes advantage of teens with no skills, and uses bad materials to make their food.

“To be or not to be?” I for one say not to be. Both Juliet and Rosanna McCoy rushed into love. I mean really, how can you fall totally in love with somebody you do not know at all? For Juliet she had said “my ears have not yet drunk a hundred words of thy tongues uttering, yet I know the sound.” (ACT II) Juliet was saying she has not heard Romeo speak 100 words yet she is totally in love with him. With Rosanna McCoy she did not say the same thing as Juliet but she fell in love with a man she knew nothing of except that her family hated his and vice versa. Sometimes the thing you should not have is an attraction in itself. I think for both Juliet and Rosanna that is exactly

In his book “The McDonaldization of Society” the author George Ritzer provides us a very clear explanation of the kind of world we currently live in. According to Ritzer, Mcdonaldization influences many other companies, such as Wal-Mart and Home Depot, to follow the same principles of the fast-food industry. This fast food moved a step up, it is no longer considered just a company like other ones, it has become a part of our culture. For example, before I moved from my home country if anyone mentioned the name “McDonald’s” around me I would instantly think about United States.

The research and marketing strategies that a percentage of businesses come up with works, their efforts have led me to fulfill a need of my own. One of our basic needs is food. We are inundated with ads for all types of food. Fast food, organic foods, junk food, you name it there is an advertisement to go along with it. I am a very busy person, so most of the time it is the fast food ads that get me. It is easier and cheaper to grab a hamburger or something already prepared through a drive-thru than it is to go to the grocery store to prepare a meal.

McDonald’s advertisement makes it easy for me. They not only are open all hours, it is convenient and very inexpensive. I cannot say that it is
