McDonalds, Company of the Year

Green Party killjoys have named McDonalds as one of their winners in the bad food awards for it's advertising.

I think McDonalds is great - they provide:

- An almost 100% guarunteed sucessful business for local businessmen (just add hard work, a bit of smarts and a fair whack of capital.)
- Pay above market rates for it's staff in restaurants (and it shows when you compare service with other chains). Most of the staff are teens who are studying or trying to prove they can work.
- Sponsor Road safety, temporary accomodation for families with kids in hospital, environmental projects and help fundraise with hundreds of community groups.
- Provide cheap food, quickly. And the hygiene standards they have are second to none.
- Make their restaurants child friendly with safe playgrounds for the kids.

I don't remember Colonel Sanders doing any of the above.
