Fast Food - by Daniel
This is a summary of a newspaper (published in 2005) article about McDonald's. I had to prepare it for school.
McDonald's is America's best known fast food export and it's known all over the world. The fast food restaurant idea came from the McDonalds brothers, but Ray Kroc opened the first restaurant in Illinois in June 1955. Seeing that children are the best customers, they had the idea of Ronald McDonald, the clown. The restaurant has ben expanding. In 1960 there were 200 restaurants in the USA. In 1974 the first restaurant opened in London. In January 1990 the first restaurant opened in Moscow. The biggest one is in China, it opened in 1992. There are 400 restaurants in China. People are not only enthusiastic, but also criticize McDonald's. More and more people blame McDonald's food for causing obesity. In every restaurant there is the same food. It is cheap and quick. The restaurant has a quick service, it's clean and efficient. McDonald's reacted to the criticism by offering salad and fruits. There are different meals for different countries.
My opinion: I think McDonald's food has two sides: on one side there is the tasty food which many people eat. On the other side the food makes you sick and causes obesity. I think it's a question of how often you go to McDonald's. What do you think about McDonald's? Please comment on this.

I love McDonald's. When you eat the delicious fresh salads, you won't get sick and fat. But I like more McDonald's in the USA because you can get there honey with the Chicken Mc Nuggets.
Thank you for the comment. I think not everyone will eat the salads at McDonald's. Most people eat the burgers and the fast food, not the salads. If everyone only eats the salads, McDonald's will not produce any burgers any more. The typical McDonald's food are the burgers. Since the first McDonald's opened the have been selling burgers, and in the future they will produce burgers too, because so many people eat them.
Hello Daniel,
Everything in moderation! McDonalds is a favorite place for a quick lunch but not on a regular basis. I do think it's nice that McDonalds has introduced some healthier meals like the shake salads!
I think it would be an interesting project for you to follow up this article with one on children and diabetes. I sincerely believe that children would not be at risk for this disease if they ate healthier meals. It's a perfect example of how young people(and adults)are not consumming food from the 4 basic food groups!Fine job with your writing! I was introduced to this site by your teacher. My name is Annette and I look forward to reading your next article.
Hello Annette,
Thanks for your comment. I don't really know much about diabetes, but I know that more and more children suffer from diabetes because they eat the wrong food which is not good for their bodies.
Maybe you can tell me something more about diabetes?
I hope I will hear from you soon.
Daniel
