Mcdonalds Food!

Mcdonalds is a extremely popular fast food restaurant all over the world as we all know but in many ways it is regarded as very bad for you. But Mcdonalds do actually have rules about where their food comes from, they don not use poultry or meat from a farm that feeds their animals antibiotics.
The Chickne sold in Mcdonalds is packaged and prepared at Cargill Meats Europe, and Moy Park.
All the beef served at Mcdonalds is 100% Irish. Mcdonalds also only purchase their beef from suppliers that follow strick animal welfare standards.
Although all this information is promising about the nutrition of Mcdonalds i would still advise only eating there on the occasion!

This is a video of Joseph Perez the new face of The Mcdonalds Packaging. At the start it will give you a brief summary of whats going on, the writing on the screen does go quite quickly so i would advise pausing when the words come up.

Mcdonalds first began with a man named Ray Kroc a milkshake machine salesman, he received a large order one day from a hamburger outlet in california which was the Mcdonalds Brothers corporation, he was perplexed by the how large the order was and decided that he would visit the Mcdonalds brothers in California.

He decided that he could do very well out of Mcdonalds as he liked what he saw on the menu, as the food tasted great.
