... the company $250 million. In addition, he gave operators a bigger say over which menu items they will push with local ad dollars. Despite all of the changes Burger King remains the No. 2 burger chain in the world. Moreover, they only have 6.1% of the fast-food sales, a far cry from McDonalds 83%. Although, they are a far second, the changes in Burger King have worked. The company has posted a 28% increase in operating profits, to $77 million, for the year ended September 30, 1994. Helping performance was the sale of 211 company-owned stores during the year to franchisees, which garnered $64 million. The continued performance improvement has impressed lenders, who have committed to issuing more than $500 million in loans and credit deals to franchisees for capital investment (Nation's Restaurant News). All this has made Burger King executives happy, but Burger King did experience another set back as James B. Adamson resigned in 1995. Robert C. Lowes former CEO of Grand Met's European food sector replaced him. Lowes is a capable replacement, but this continual change in top management continuos to hurt Burger Kings attempts to be the number one hamburger chain in the world.
The case of Burger King Corporation v. Rudzewicz, 471 U.S. 462, 105 S. Ct. 2174, 85 L. Ed. 2d 528 (1985) addressed the issue of personal jurisdiction and whether or not it violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The plaintiff, Burger King, is a Florida corporation whose principal offices are located in Miami. The defendant, John Rudzewicz, was a resident of Michigan and a principal of a Michigan franchise. Rudzewicz, as a franchisee owner, had been given a license to use Burger King’s name and logo (trademarks) to operate a Burger King in Michigan. The contract between the franchisor and franchisee stated that the franchisor relationship (contract) is under the control of Florida. Other provisions of the contract include required monthly payments of fees and royalties to Miami headquarters, and all major decisions and problems had to be communicated with headquarters. In addition, the franchisee had to conduct business at a leased restaurant facility for 20 years. However, the defendant failed to fulfill franchisee obligations by not keeping up with his monthly payments of fees and royalties that he owed to Burger King in Florida. As a result, Burger King sued for a diversity suit against Rudzewicz in an effort to get back the money that they were owed. Burger King claimed a breach of contract, specifically the “Franchise Agreement”, between Burger King (the franchisor) and Rudzewicz (the franchisee). The case eventually made it all the way to the United States Supreme Court (Case Briefs).
The United States is one of only two countries in the world that taxes its citizens on their worldwide income, without regard to physical residence. Throughout the rest of the world, taxes are imposed on individuals based on their residency, not citizenship (McKinnon 2012). Such a statement brings the question as to why the United States is such an outlier in this respect? This paper will serve as a discussion of the origins of the United States’ system of worldwide taxation, the tax system’s current state and implications on U.S. corporations, and recent proposals to amend the system.
Fast food
First off all let me define fast food and obesity. What is the fast food? According to oxford dictionaries website the definition of fast food is "Food that can be prepared quickly and easily and is sold in restaurants and snack bars as a quick meal or to be taken out".

The American people love fast food, but little do they know about what is really in their “hamburger” or “chicken nuggets”, and what damage the real ingredients in these foods can cause. Fast food has become a great part in many people’s lives today because you could get it fast and on the move and it’s also cheap. Everyone has eaten fast food at one point in their lives, unless of course they don’t eat meat, but they really don’t have a clue as to what they’re ingesting. This paper will inform you as to what scientists have found in these deadly foods and what can happen in the future if you continue to eat these foods.
America has struggled balancing out what it’s considered to be healthy. Children look at skinny as the definition of healthy and do not realize that not every “fat” person is unhealthy and not every skinny person is healthy. It’s not to be skinny but to live a healthier lifestyle. Children consume food from their schools and homes almost every day, so what they eat is not in their control necessarily. Parents and schools lack knowledge on what they feed their children, and because they lack knowledge it causes children to become overweight or obese.

Fast food takes a second place as a largest source of calories. Fast food is very fatting and it contains a lots of calories, sodium. Fast food is usually prepared by frying in deep fat, and that way food absorbs large amounts of oil, significantly increasing the calories. Even greater danger to health is frying foods in the same oil several times, because it can increase the number of carcinogenic substances.

Nothing represents America better than the fast food restaurants. There is no American who Is not impacted by this phenomenal artifact.
Chipotle has of late announced a fresh joint venture with food a delivery app post mate that brings home rescue to Chipotle locations in 66 cities from corner to corner of the country. They are thus giving a privilege to individuals who live close to the cities of getting Chipotle burritos without ever leaving their house. In an apparent reaction to San Francisco, raising its smallest amount of wages to a fresh state high, restricted chipotles have raised costs considerably. Chipotle disproved the 14 percent charge in the shareholder report. The restaurant improved charges in San Francisco at 10 restaurants merely through 10 percent as well as by 7 percent within the Eastbay (Jargon & Rubin, 2014). In Q1 in 2015, Chipotle accounted an extraordinary comparable store auction expansion of 10.4 percent as the corporation enlarges standard tractions by twenty one during the day. On the other hand,
The fast food industry is something that is familiar to everyone. Living in the United States, you can usually only go a few miles without seeing a multitude of fast food restaurants popping up. The bright neon lights flashing and enticing all to come and have a quick, easy and cheap meal. Eric Schlosser, the author of Fast Food Nation, points out, “Americans now spend more money on fast food than on higher education, personal computers, or new cars. They spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and recorded music - combined.” Without the fast food industry our country would be significantly different, it has changed the nation environmentally, economically, and culturally and has done many beneficial things
