LIsten to me. Don't give your money to them buggers who is gonna sell you food that is bad for your health, it's daft innit?

For meals, get a decent wife who knows how to cook homemade grub, for instance steak and kidney pudding.

Hey Alf! Don't forget the dumplings!
- Seeing the sales of McDonalds rise in Japan is a black eye for a culture that prides itself in its ethnic foods. Could the food scandals be effecting this result?

Mcdonalds is getting rich from making people ill with their fatty food and chemicals. Japanese will start turning into fatties, mark my words.

Learn the girls at school how to make Shepherds pies and roasts, proper British grub, to make themselves more healthy.

Mark McCracken - It's probably a literal translation of the Japanese "gaishoku sangyou" 外食産業, which is what the Japanese call the restaurant industry.

the meat doesn't taste like meat, the fish doesn't taste like fish, the potato doesn't taste like potato, the bread doesn't taste anything remotely like bread, on e of the great mysteries of modern times, this "restaurant". still i guess it's a great match for the japanese palate with their preference for extremely sweet and salty processed food.

I was in the eating-out industry, but I pulled out when things got too hairy. Contras to McDs for staying the course.

close MacDs, Docomo AU Softbank, Japan Tobacco for one day.... what would happen?

Good old McDonalds cheap and cheerful wins the day. I agree with blvzpk, you have to be picky. Mark McCracken - you related to Phil?

they better get the ER's in the hospitals up to speed because if the gross greasy eating binge continues the coronary failure rate is going to go up.

Becker's is way better.

I think the movie 'Supersize Me' should be shown in all Japanese schools.

NO wonder they make so much money. There's nothing nicer than a nice moist ham bugger.

Mcdonald's provide food, we need more competitions from other companies to beat Mcdonald. Still no one can.

They are just ahead of competition in many subtle ways,you never find in competitors.

The amount of training they do in Mcdonald's is enough to beat competition. 500 billion yen in sales speak for Mcdonald's, when it comes to beating competition.
