When you are very hungry you would most likely go to McDonalds because their food is cheap but there are some things that should be told about McDonalds. McDonalds has some of the most unhealthy food on the planet but they also have some good things about them. One person said they were very happy that McDonalds was selling cheap food because they could not afford other food. Another person was surprised that McDonalds was still in business because McDonalds only serves frozen food that is heated which is very unhealthy when you add a soda and a side of fries.
McDonalds has very good entertainment that helps them draw in customers but some of the entertainment does not help hide the fact that they serve unhealthy food. One thing they use for entertainment is their popular mascot Ronald McDonald that helps

At McDonalds they have a menu called the dollar menu which can help with getting a reasonable amount of food to call it a meal when you are very hungry. Some people need this menu more than other people because they don’t have much money but if you have the money to go somewhere else you should. When you are needing something to eat when you don’t have much money they are reliable with the costs of their food.
Sometimes when people watch a McDonalds ad on their TV they will believe that McDonalds is telling the truth about their food being healthy but if you eat a meal their sometimes you will feel sick to your stomach because of what you just ate. When McDonalds has an ad about a new item at their restaurant they will make the food look perfect. All McDonalds does to make it look perfect is put stuff on the food item and use other non edible items to make their food larger and cleaner. The only thing McDonalds is truthful about is that they are telling the truth when they say they added a new item to the
But that is untrue in many ways. For example, they may say they have salads, but they don't know McDonald's puts sugar in the salads, and don't even get me started on the dressings!! There is high amounts of sugar in the dressing as long as sodium! An of course they are going to mention apple slices. But, they coat those delicious crispy slices with preservatives to keep them that way in there plastic bag, and the fact that McDonald's had the nerve to serve carmel on the side with the
Richard and Maurice McDonald founded McDonalds in 1940. It was originally opened as a barbeque restaurant, but later converted into a hamburger stand. McDonalds’ are found in over 119 countries, serving about 68 million costumers a day, at 35,000 different locations. 75 years later, it is worth over 98 billion dollars. McDonalds has always significantly relied on advertising to appeal to their consumers. They use all different types of advertising: billboards, TV, papers, social media, and many others. Appealing to their costumers is what makes them so successfully. Although it is known to be unhealthy, they find a way to make their products look pleasing. In this commercial they use well-known people to show of their product, using logos, pathos, and ethos.
McDonald’s is delicious and convenient, and only cost a few dollars. On days were you are extremely busy they are there to serve whatever you would like from the menu. Sometimes it seems as though you can access it quicker than a trip to the grocery store. Even though, you know you will be hungry again later, you still pull up and go through the drive thru and place the order. While placing your order do you ever think of what this kind of food is doing to your body? Alternatively, that for just a few dollars that conveniently priced meal over time could cause your health to deteriorate. Fast food restaurants are adding to the obesity epidemic. Living in the age were technology has taken the place of personal interactions,
McDonalds promotes the construct of “healthiness” as a justification as to why a consumer should purchase their food. This article introduces an interesting viewpoint that despite these claims of “healthiness” or even the inclusion of low calorie options does not ensure that the consumer will not overconsume their food. I will use this source to expand the findings in "Nutritional Quality at Eight U.S. Fast-Food Chains 14-Year Trends” which argues that despite the addition of “healthy” options at fast food restaurants, the overall nutritional quality of the menu remained poor. An analysis of these two sources will be used to help answer my research questions: what consists of healthy food in the McDonalds “Questions” campaign and what are the implications of this definition of healthy food? I will use these sources to support the significance of my claim. Specifically, I will use Downs as evidence for my claim that despite marketing campaigns aimed at redefining McDonald’s as a healthy option, the definition of healthy food that these commercials promote is too limited and ultimately attempts to conform to new definitions of healthy food without actually changing their
Fast food is everywhere, and sometimes hard to differentiate from healthy food that can be ordered quickly. McDonald’s is a company that is known for being a place to buy fast food. Their food has large portions, is fairly inexpensive, and contains a lot of sugar, so it fits the requirements for a fast food restaurant (“Food and Diet,” 2012). There are meals at McDonald’s specifically for children. Happy Meals, as they are called include an entrée of chicken nuggets, a hamburger, or a cheeseburger. These all come with a side of French fries, a choice of apples or yogurt, and a drink.
Good Taste: The fast food chain is operating in many diverse cultures where tastes in food are extremely different than those of US or Indian consumers. Thus ability to adapt to local taste is one of McDonald’s strengths.
McDonald's is a fast-food chain that was founded on the 15th of April 1955 in Illinois, United States by Raymond Albert Kroc. The American fast-food chain has become very successful as it has grown throughout the globe and the owners of the franchise have grown rapidly in wealth. A survey showed that McDonald’s is so famous that it’s more recognizable than the Christian Cross. Worldwide, the revenue of the entire company 17.18 million dollars per day. Despite this wealthy and well-known behemoth, the company is hiding what actually goes on behind the counter and the outcome that the food has to your health: the unhealthiness of the meals, the cruelty towards the animals and the negative impact on the environment.
Marketers are often accused of marketing to children to gain higher profits. Young children are targeted because they usually do not know right from wrong. Many people have criticized McDonald’s for advertising the Happy Meal towards young children for higher profits. Some people consider it unethical because the Happy Meal is so unhealthy. However, McDonald’s has taken many initiatives to show that it is a corporation that does not manipulate children for profit and that they care for children. The Ronald McDonald House Charities organization was created by McDonalds in 1974 to help children in need. The organization believes that helping one child will go a long way, and they express their commitment in their vision statement, “We believe when you change a child’s life, you change a family’s, which can change a community and, ultimately, the world” (Ronald McDonald House Charity). McDonald’s also provides donations for many other children’s charities and has taken steps to improve the Happy Meals by providing healthier options. McDonalds works hard towards making children all ove...
McDonald’s advertisements have been around for years. A lot of their marketing strategies have been aimed at children. McDonald’s often shows commercials on television, advertising kids meals. All of McDonald’s kids meals come with a small toy and a healthy snack. Children all over the world were mesmerized by the new Smurf movie that came out earlier in 2017.
The golden, crisp, delicious french fries, the mouth-watering cheeseburger, the large soda of coke. Fast food lives in the heart and soul of Americans today; it is the All-American Meal that is too familiar to people of all age groups. It is the addictive taste that continues to drive Americans back to fast food restaurants every single day. We simply cannot avoid the temptation of devouring an appetizing Big Mac. What we put into our mouths is a second-thought.
McDonalds Sucks Did you know that 1 in every 4 Americans eat at McDonald's every day? About every American has either eaten or heard of 1 of the 31,000 restaurants that are franchise all around. For many years, Americans have enjoyed their variety of food items. Did you ever think about what you’re really eating and how unhealthy the food really is?

McDonald's current customer environment is people on the go or people who don't want to spend a lot while going out and need something quick and good to eat. It is best stated in McDonald's mission statement that they want to be the world's best quick service restaurant experience. As stated before, McDonald's has restaurants in 121 countries and has extensive global experience in customer service and satisfaction. McDonald's is excellent at researching an international area before building restaurant there. For example, in India McDonald's realized that the majority of the population was Hindu and vegetarian, they therefore, did not even bother to put beef or any other red meat on the menu.
McDonalds provide high quality products, such as burgers, fries, drinks, muffins, etc, which are safe and reliable that it does what it is supposed to do, but not only does the quality of the products matter, the good value for money affects the business. E.g. buy one extra value meal and get one free with a food voucher that represents the offer only. They ensure that a high standard of the product is carried out at all times and they try to compete very competitively with other fast food businesses with their good value for money. Also a customer would know if the product is good value for money by checking in another food outlet like KFC for their services and products.
McDonalds should focus greatly on building good customer relationship and uphold customer retention. This is done by allocating time and budget in improving their resources and making changes that actually cater to their customers’ needs and comfort.
