Please treat matter with the seriousness it demands.If no action is taken I shall explore other modes to reach the people and society at large. Dear McDonalds,

It's real food, as opposed to that exceedingly processed crap served in the US. And the stuff they give you actually looks like the pictures, as opposed to the US burgers that look like someone sat on them. Plus, when you take cost into account, it's relatively affordable, even for middle class consumers. The food at Indian McDonalds is actually surprisingly tasty.

I happen to think that this is rather a lot, but you may choose to disagree. I don't believe that people in third world countries have a harder time processing information either, which is why I didn't say that. Anyway, I'm sure that what they really need to improve their lives is some nice US plastic wrapped disposable takeaway consumer culture.

It's a booming economy with a very well educated middle class. I don't imagine they are all that easily led by the nose. And India doesn't really fit the bill anymore, does it?

People in third world countries see McDonalds and Coca Cola as huge status symbols. I remember seeing McDonalds everywhere in South America and the food there was almost twice the price of the "real" food in other restaurants. And so much worse. But people will rather pay more to eat an inferior meal. Stupidity... yes in a way but many people are not used to the onslaught of western commercials and billboards and cannot objectively process the information. Eventually the local places go out of business and all the revenue goes out of the poor country and into rich US pockets. And people who already have very little have to pay a lot more for a premade meal. This somewhat depresses me. People in third world countries see McDonalds and Coca Cola as huge status symbols.
