When a family goes out to eat out at McDonalds, they buy meals that are extremely over portioned or "meals that can easily make up to half of their recommended daily intake of calories"(Brownlee 1). Restaurant's commercials appeal to the much younger generation. It makes them want to go eat there and usually get the toy that comes along with that Happy Meal. That's where parents need to step in and say no, instead of giving in and taking them to go eat since it's an easier option. According to David Barboza, author of "If You Pitch, They Will Eat", "increase in food marketing to children has closely tacked their increase in weight"(5).
Unlike Mcdonalds, Chick-fil-a serves the crowd a free dinner,10 coupons for free meals. This shows a lot of genorousity and a great appeal to fast food fans. For the past two years , the Atlanta-based chain was named “best drive-through in America” by the quick-service resturaurant trade. (QSR MAG) The employees at Chick-fil-a strive to complete orders within 90 seconds in the drive through window and 60 seconds at the counter. Some might find it appealing how Chick-fil-a shares corporate values such as all locations being closed on Sunday,as a day of rest and worship.
McDonald’s started investing in Chipotle in February of 1998, and supported them financially for seven years.1 This financial backing enabled Chipotle to expand nationally and become large enough to offer stock. In 2006, Chipotle and McDonald’s went their separate ways in order to focus more on each company’s core activities. Currently Chipotle operates 956 restaurants in 35 states in the United States, the District of Columbia, and Canada.2 The company is expected to open up between 120 and 130 new restaurants in the upcoming year. Clearly, the history of Chipotle’s business demonstrates a success rare in the fast casual food business. (Appendix A) 1 2 (Investor Relations, Chipotle Mexican Grill) Ibid.

A Big Mac is a well-known burger from the food restaurant McDonalds. In this paper I will talk about what kind of people would eat a big mac and where they would be found eating it. I will also talk a little about the culture of the big mac and back up my ideas with some evidence. The Big Mac is a food for an on the go person, not someone who is very athletic or cares about their body size and health. It can also be for college students because it is an easy way for them to get a meal that is going to fill them up and for a small price as they are more focused on school then getting a job.
It’s a special bond that every child connects to. As years progress, McDonalds grows more and more. Back in 2003, I loved to watch “Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald”. I would spend most of my time watching Ronald McDonald with a group of friend trying to stop ‘Hamburgler’ from stealing the burgers. It’s a very unusual perception but it’s the way fast food corporations would grow so much on business.

Dieting is becoming more of a popular fashion than ever before. It is getting much easier to go to the grocery store and find reduced sugar or even sugar free products that you have always enjoyed that used to be very unhealthy. If you learn to eat healthier and fit a small workout into your busy life at least a few times a week, you will most likely be able to avoid obesity.
One reason is because it’s priceless being that it is printed out on all our customer receipts. The second reason is because it will bring people back to our restaurant or at least consider it. The final reason is that it will bring customers here during lunch hours. For many restaurants, there slowest hours are during the day so we figure that giving them this coupon to use before 3PM any day of the week will give us busier lunch hours and higher revenues each day of operation. I’ve seen this idea used in many famous restaurants like Cheesecake Factory, Starbucks, fast food places and
