Corporations are neither good, nor bad. They are businesses. The primary purpose of a business is to make money. The best way to do that is to deliver what your customer wants.

The mindless blaming of corporations for delivering the food people ask for is absurd. McDonalds does not force people to eat there, nor do they force people to over eat. They simply sell the food their customers want.

What is predictable are the mindless sheep our colleges are producing who come out with their heads filled with elitist, anti-capitalist nonsense... fed to them by leftist professors who couldn't make it in the real world, and seek to tear it down.

QFT.

I have no problem with McDonalds as a company...they can sell as many $6.00 artery-clogging combos as they want (not to mention ones that still end up leaving you hungry. Last time I was there, thanks to my friends dragging me there, I bought a Grilled Chicken Club sandwich, a large fries and Diet Coke and I was still hungry, so I had to order a $1.00 double cheeseburger, and even after that I wasn't totally full.), and they can put all the kiddie-friendly marketing on it complete with free toys and playhouses and whatever...I just don't have to be the one buying it, I'll take my money to another place, and make smarter choices to eat healthier.

Just because you don't like something doesn't mean the company doesn't have a right to sell/make it.

I hate McDonalds food with a passion... it's either Dairy Queen or subway for me... and that's it (well BK is good too)

I don't care about products, its mostly business practices that annoy me. I would say a company is bad if lets say they offer benefits to full time employees and then not let any employees ever have the chance of working full time. It's deceiving. That being said, I really don't have an opinion of McDonalds in that respect. As for your opinion about colleges, I guess everyone has their own conspiracy theories. Didn't you goto college?

Employment benefits are not an entitlement. Employment is a MUTUAL agreement. If you don't like the terms and conditions, LEAVE.

McDonalds doesn't have to offer ANY benefits at all.

This is part of the problem right here. The idea that employers OWE you something, when they did not agree to it up front. It's absurd.

McDonald's business practice is to MAKE MONEY and do that by selling their customers what they want. They are not there to be altruistic. They are not a welfare agency.

Yes, I did go to college. The ideologies on a college campus are so far removed from the real world and so far left, it would be funny if it wasn't twisting the minds of our youth.

Thankfully, enough figure out the real world within a decade or so of leaving college.

Uh, I must have done that for at least a week, and I dug it. But it was all part of a bigger picture, a deep soul epiphany thing. Right now I have to say I don't think I've eaten any McDonalds for must be 5+ years now. If I were to get some fast food now it would be Carl's Jr. But I only do that once in a blue moon.

There's a push on now to eliminate trans fatty acids from everything and some chains have already complied. I think that'll happen and maybe it'll be better at the chains. Anyway, I can't see eating a 1500+ calorie meal too often.
