McDonald's celebrates 25 years in Lincoln

Keith Parkins | 07.01.2008 11:43 | Globalisation | Health | World

On Saturday, McDonald's celebrated 25 years of serving junk food in Lincoln.

McDonald's were given a full-page spread in the Lincolnshire Echo today to celebrate that they had been serving their junk food in Lincoln for a quarter of a century.

An independent restaurant serving quality food, would be a cause for celebration.

McDonald's closing down would be a cause for celebration.

That McDonald's has been serving junk food for a quarter of a century is no cause for celebration, and it is a sad state of affairs the the Lincolnshire Echo should feel otherwise.

The kids eating in McDonald's will be lucky if they see past their 30th birthday, the parents who take their kids to McDonald's should be charged with child abuse.
