Adbusters Unit Assignment

2. This article criticizes McDonald's in every aspect, from exploiting workers, damaging the environment and promoting unhealthy food. To sum up the article, the writers believe that McDonald's is aiming for world domination, by suckling in children customers and undermining local communities.

3. I am very surprised by the information of this article. It's no secret that McDonald's is one of the least healthy and most prominent fast food chains. I didn't know that the animals were killed barbarically, because I believe I read or heard somewhere that they were human, although it makes more sense to imagine a bunch of cows on a conveyor belt to death. I also wasn't aware of all the horrible effects that McDonald's had on the environment, specifically with the clearing of habitats to raise cows.

4. I think I could change the original intent of any McDonald's product by showing an obese person eating it, because it points out how unhealthy McDonald's products really are. I really agree with this article, because McDonald's is promoting unhealthy food to a younger audience. This will lead to lifestyle habits, so many future generations will be unhealthy unless they learn to change or this stops.
