: I think you don't know what your talking about, anyone that chooses either Wendys, Mcdonalds or Buger King, Each fast food place is loaded with fat any ways it dosn't matter anyways its up to you to choose the right food, You can get sick at any one not just at Mcdonalds. So don't blame it all on Mcdonalds it could of been BK. So you need little fast food in your diet once in a while.

I bring your attention to the section in the "Start Here" part of this site. It says...

and why.
Yes, we appreciate that McDonald's only sell hamburgers and loads of other corporations are just as bad. But that's not the point. They have been used as a symbol of all multinationals and big business relentlessly pursuing their profits at the expense of anything that stands in their way. McDonald's were chosen for this dubious honour because a) everyone's heard of them, b) they're bullies who threaten legal action on almost anyone who dares criticise them, c) there's stacks of in-depth information available about them (thanks to the research that's gone into the McLibel Trial, d) the nature of their business means loads of contemporary issues are relevant, e) they pioneered various unwelcome practices which other companies have
followed and f) they take themselves far too seriously.
