They Should Close McDonalds Down
The food that McDonalds sells is unhealthy. It also contributes to the obesity problem around the world. There is nothing good about McDonalds. They should close down every McDonald's restaurant.

If it is eaten on a regular basis then yes it is. But there rae two sayings: 'everything is good for you in moderation' and 'everything is bad for you in excess.'

How is it possible to sell a "good quality" burger on its own for 99p that's $1.77 for our American friends

Fast food is one of the least efficient forms of land use. Six times as much vegetation could be produced on the same land than meat.

I agree that they should close down all McDonald's or at least drastically change their menu. It is true that they do not tie people down and force them to eat, but they pump a lot of fake advertising to the people's mind. They always have these enticing commercials that make their food look good. However, when you go to order it, you are just served a ball of slop. McDonald's uses psychology to get people into their restaurant and as a result, many people are getting fat and getting sick. They should close down or change their ways and their food. They should also serve more healthy options. Greasy hamburgers and French fries are just not healthy – no matter how they are fried. They even put this fried stuff in their salads. Yuck!

I agree with what your saying. But fast food should be ate in moderation anyway! It self-explanatory that if you eat daily in a fast food place your going to become obese! Whether it be mcdonalds or bloody a Chinese takeaway. I may have a takeaway or a mcdonalds once every month. Moderation is the key. That is why people are becoming obese because they're too lkazy to do some healthy home cooking. I'm sorry but Mcdonalds can't be blamed for that. They provide a service, it is your responsibility to how you consume such things.

I can't post on the yes side but there are some points I support.

Is obesity the result of the addictive nature of the Big Mac?
Is there proof it really is what you say?
Or is the reason the obese use McDonald's as a cheep and instant way to stock an already blazing furnace?

If They were to be closed would generations to come be thin and blissfully unaware but grateful...........or go to Burger King or square pizza palace instead?

They don't force people to eat their food. This is just ridiculous. If you want to do something productive, require them to post nutrition facts and where the food came from.

STOP trying to save ignorant fatties! We don't need them! Let them eat McDonald's and let them die as long as the nutrition facts are clear and it is their choice.

They should just have to have more healthy things on their menu, and not some big greasy burger.

Why specifically McDonald's? There are dozens of fast food restaurants, all selling unhealthy food. It's all about choice. If you do not wish to eat at McDonald's then you don't have to, but we have to accept that people enjoy this kind of food and it wouldn't be fair to take away people's freedom.

Excessive amounts of salt and fat help to kill off the greedy people. We need them to slowly keep cramming themselves until they become bedridden and slow, they can then be easily taken out with an elephant gun.

They don't hold people down and make them eat it.

They have stated in the past that it's people's responsibility for what they eat, not McD's franchise. Think about it. Go home and make some fries. Your doing the exact same thing. It's your choice to eat from there or not. If you don't like it, spend $50 and go eat at Texas Roadhouse or any other quality restaurant.

A lot of food is unhealthy but there not going to close it all and furthermore if you don't like it stop going there its just that plain and simple. I LOVE MCDONALDS FOOD and it may be unhealthy but its not like i eat it every day of my life and people that do should be blaming themselves not the food because all things on earth are potentially bad in excess.

If "they" shut down McDonald's for being unhealthy, then they should also shut down Burger King, Wendy's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Dunkin' Donuts, all British pubs, steak houses, almost every Chinese and Vietnamese restaurant currently operating in western countries and all establishments that cook with trans fats. Clearly, this would mean that we would have to bid farewell to just about every restaurant, with the exception of a handful of places that serve organic salads, wraps and delicious carrot juice.

It is a misconception to think that the food at McDonald's is so much more unhealthy than the deep-fried egg rolls and spring rolls they serve you in Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants, or that ordering a bucket of chicken from KFC is a more health conscious choice than just ushering the kids into the mini-van and taking them for a super-sized Big Mac.

Banning McDonald's be impractical, since you would have to expose all other restaurants to similarly stringent regulations, which would force them out of business. Additionally, I don't think that it is up to government authorities to decide what free citizens can and cannot eat.

Who's "they" that should shut them down? The food nazis? Are you so quick to impose such tyranny? Do you not value your freedom?

It is fair enough to say that McDonald's food is a bit unhealthy but there are still many people that like it and don't particularly care if it's unhealthy or not

First off, McDonald's food is no more unhealthy than any other fast food restaurant so if you want to close that one, close them all. Secondly, it's none of your business what people eat, if they want to stuff their face with artery-clogging fat, so be it. It's their life, not yours. Butt out.

I’ll propose a solution that will solve the problem of unhealthiness and obesity for those who do not wish to suffer such a miserable fate at the hands of that particular restaurant. Don’t go to McDonald’s. It’s just crazy enough to work.
