No more burgers for them in Russia :) all the significant events and story from behind was not mentioned.

That was because McDo's didn't call attention to it until recently. These price hikes on their unhealthy food will only be the death of the franchise. No business is too big to fail, remember Ma Bell😂

McDondald’s food is not unhealthy. Maybe it was, it isn't now, hasn't been for years already anymore. It isn't unhealthier than anything else you eat everyday.

True, compared with most other fast food, pizza, or restaurants of any kind, there's nothing particularly unhealthy about McDonalds' food- for many people it could be the healthiest meal they had all week.. the perception seems to be more tied to McDonalds being so successful- 'it must be bad'

[@peacethroughstrength172]

You said it and they along with others have become giants due to laziness and a lack of regard for health. How people can even attempt to claim that it is healthy or any other similar place is beyond me.

UNHEALTHY EMPIRE
there I fixed the title for you
Go Vegan!
McD's has a list of locations which sell the McPlant on their web site. This list is wrong. Several of those locations listed as offering the McPlant, do not sell it at that location. Go Vegan!
