McDonalds "restaurants" is closing everywhere ... Good or Bad?

[nakedfrog]

I'm not stating my opinion, i'm stating facts that i have read and witnessed with my own two eyes. Here is everything you need to know about your local mcdonalds.

"McDonald’s said in April that it planned to close about 700 underperforming restaurants worldwide this year. " http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox...urants_in_2015_for_first_time_in_decades.html

Over 30,000 world locations, and you're up in a tizzy about 700 closing?
(McDonald's site says 32,000, Wikipedia has it at 35,000).
Given that they're worldwide, okay, you technically are correct in saying they're closing everywhere.

If it's true, it does signal a big change in the way the gen pop thinks about health and nutrition.

True that it may only be a TINY percentage, but up until now I honestly don't know if I've EVER seen a McD's close down.

I don't think it really matters. If McDonalds closes people will go somewhere else for junk food.

The bad part are people being out of a job.

Maybe they are just doing something wrong because new times and technologies have come. Or we are trying to live healthier.

I think people are so accustomed to fast and tasty that they'll just switch to Hot Pockets and Pizza Rolls.
I dont expect them to cook up well-balanced meals. If they appreciated the benefits of proper nutrition they would not have been going to McDonalds in the beginning.
