What fucking company decides, yeah we don't want 847 stores worth of profits.
Literally any company that is just doing their basic function would not have left. Private companies have become the governments club to beat people with.
This is called fascism. What amazes me is so many people don't connect the dots immediately when Putin starts saying "denazify".
But of course I must be crazy....these are just "voluntary" actions by the corporations. The entities controlling the government couldn't possibly be influencing their decisions in any way for political reasons.
I wonder if this is how the people in Germany felt 80 years ago...
The 847 locations in Russia were all directly run by McD's because they weren't allowed to have franchises. Those 847 shops made up 10% of ALL PROFIT for McDs.
Saudi Arabia, Palau, Niue and Kuwait are several that are more obese. Middle East/Polynesia usually is more obese but their definitions of obesity are different than the rest of the world. The problem with American obesity or overweight definitions, is they will use only average weight across all age groups without even factoring height and shoe size. They basically lie with statistics to get away with "low fat alternatives" loaded with GMO and corn syrup.
I've traveled to Piryugal, Netherlands, Spain, and more on many occasions. Americans, not only have a larger number of fat person to skinny person ratio, but the sheer amount of MORBIDLY obese people is unlike anything I've ever seen.
I haven't been to every country but even our poor have h7ge amounts of spherical people who can't even walk up a flight of stairs.
From what I have looked into people today are not eating any more than they were eating 50 years ago. The average person eats between 4-5 lbs of food. That is the point where the stomach feels full.
the difference is WHAT food is being consumed.
50 years ago+ the food contained more water. Fruit veggies things like that. Todays food is highly processed. Processed food removes the water to help items last longer
you can eat an 8 ounce potato or an 8 ounce bag of chips. As far as your stomach is concerned it is 8 ounces of food.
The potato would be about 100-200 calories and the bag of chips would be almost 10x the calories
Also, fruit is way oversized. Real fruit is generally much smaller. Have you seen native strawberries, they are the same size as a blueberry found in grocery stores. Blueberries are actually pea sized, not the 1/2" 3/8" monsters you see in stores. We have a problem, in that even the seeds are genetically modified. Forget growing your own food from seeds you bought at any big box store.
That is only 1 issue, consider the fake oils: canola, "vegetable," palm, and many others. There's only a few "healthy" oils: virgin olive, avocado, I think there's another big one I'm missing. Crisco replaced lard/butter/tallow/bacon grease and is very unhealthy.
The concept of dieting by most people is extremely flawed, and generally contains zero science. My wife says, keto/carnivore isn't healthy, I asked why, she said, you're just eating meat. Vegetables are healthy. I ask how they are healthy, she says, they just are. My in-laws said the same thing, again, no science, just, "everyone knows..." type of statements. You mean to say, we're brainwashed, got it. I don't bring it up with my wife often, because i don't like fighting with her.
The lie that fat is bad is really the big kicker. Leads to high "bad" cholesterol, whereas it should be specified that oxidized LDL cholesterol is bad, not all LDL cholesterols. Sugar causes that oxidation. And by sugar, I mean high glycemic index items. Dextrin, glucose, fructose, sucralose, honey, molasses, they all have a number. Stevia and Erythritol and Monk Fruit are very low. Agave is even very low.
On keto (or meat-o), no problems, comes out easy and clean. Off keto, smears for days. Literally spend half my day on the toilet, crapping my brains out for half of that (1/4 of the day), and the other half wiping (the other 1/4).
On keto, pump and dump, instead of speed running in games, I'd speed run my poops. In-and-out. Half the time ghost-wiping.
Not sure about the top 10, but America's obesity is definitely over-exaggerated. It's a problem, yes -- of course it is. But in the land of plenty we also have plenty of access and freedoms (until 2020 anyway) to get the exercise we wanted or needed.
This. Each man and woman (again, prior 2020) is free to pursue whatever he or she is willing to, freely. Few are compelled to labor for their well-being and none have any obstacle to physical greatness.
Gyms can be expensive to pay for every month. When a lot of people are struggling with normal bills and living expenses, while working 2 jobs, even that hour of working out may not be a high priority when that hour could be spent with kids, or resting in order to go to work again. There are certain obstacles to healthy living in the US, to say nothing of the fact that actual healthy food is way more expensive than a lot of shitty food at the grocery stores.
I mean it is #12 unfortunately. It’s definitely not patriots though! I’ve been to 16 Trump/Patriot rallies and the only overweight, unfit people were AntiFa plants. There’s a reason liberal women want based men, because they’re built like Greek gods. Strong fast, intelligent and alpha as fuck. The studies I’ve read state most patriot conservatives have an IQ on par with MIT graduates and the top 5% of doctors and lawyers. Don’t even get me started on the most beautiful women in the world. A friend of mine works for a high end fashion magazine and she stated a large majority of their models are based as all fuck. They just pretend to be liberals for work. Once they get home, they can’t wait to wrap their legs around a patriot.
Number 12, yes, but closer to around number 100 (or even lower) than we are to number 1 percentage-wise (and much more in line with other countries like Canada, Australia, UK, etc. than we are with the top few). The top few countries get exponentially fatter starting after America.
But yea, most of our land whales are crazy libs who demand you call them beautiful, healthy individuals meanwhile they can't even get off the couch without a crane.
McDonald's dipping sauces are pretty revolting. Tried some of their "hot mustard" and "honey mustard" and both of them were pretty shit, basically high calorie, high carb heavily sweetened mayo. Absolutely revolting.
I have had mayo sauces (Taco Bell, still my shitty cheat-food of choice to be honest) and I have had sweet sauces, and I have had spicy-sweet sauces, but their "hot mustard" was just so riddled with high fructose corn syrup there was not even the smallest hint of the "hot" part of it.
People are so addicted to liquid carbs apparently they like that shit?
Don't get me wrong I like myself some liquid carbs sometimes but the number of chemicals added to that is just..gross.
I can take just a few of those ingredients (even xanthan gum) and create a better sweet-hot sauce for dipping into than that shit.
Sorry for the rant, it's over now. Just pisses me off. From the corporation that used to have the best fries and the best fast food burgers around, but changed because "health reasons", only to try to inject all these excess empty carbs into you that don't even taste good.
The fact that McDonald's isn't even good for protein/fat/carb loading for body building anymore for a few bucks is just sad. Don't get me started on the prices. ahh.
Look, everyone has their shitty foods. Taco Bell's mine, so apparently hot mustard is yours. I'm just so disappointed that the second ingredient on "hot mustard" is high fructose corn syrup, and then the egg yolks that points to it being mayo. And it's just like, "yo, I just want some spicy mustard :("
So I try it and it's just..sweet. Anyone I talk to with a low spice tolerance seems to like it, and that should've tipped me off there.
And when referencing liquid carbs, I'm referencing the high fructose corn syrup. Something that doesn't even need to be in a solid 80% of the things it's in to achieve the consistency or flavor, but they add that to as many things as possible.
For what it's worth, I had my first actual fast food from Dairy Queen not so long ago and it was damn good for fast food. They're just not very close to me.
As someone who has been on a low carb diet, high carb diet and some attempts at carb cycling with solid results, I feel the difference that the consumption of high fructose corn syrup in large amounts adds, and it definitely metabolizes differently. Doesn't help that a small amount of that is greater carbs than equal amounts of sugar.
TL;DR: I have a vendetta against the corporations who slam high fructose corn syrup into everything they make. Sometimes I just want a meal for cheap before/after a workout/acquiescing to someone in my party's whims that isn't going to break my personal allotments of carbs. I can eat breads, I can even eat mass produced buns, but for some reason McDonald's foods just has so much of that shit.
I don't fault or judge you for having a shitty food weakness because anyone who says they don't is lying, deflecting or delusional. I just stand confused because the "hot mustard" was such an unsatisfying experience (as are their fries the past few times I've had them in the last couple years, at least during the dinner rush).
Very but their dividend is too good to sell. I won't eat there but I will sure make money with them. However, maybe this is the canary in the coal mine to drop them before going woke makes them broke!!
With real ingredients not Gates burger mixtures? I speculated to my spouse that Russia tested the meat and ordered McD to get the hell out of the country, that it wasnt McD idea.
McDonald's usually sources local ingredients. It's not practical or profitable to ship food in from the US when you can just source it locally and process it in the same way. There are sometimes also regulatory constraints with trying to ship food in from foreign countries (not sure about Russia, but Europe will not accept most American food). So actually, they didn't have to do almost anything. McDonalds literally just gave it over to them.
It's difficult to see how this hurts Russia at all. Even if they closed all the McDonald's down, they'd just become healthier.
Gotta say that I hate McDonald's food (haven't eaten there since I was 12, can't stand it) BUT if I find myself in Russia I would definitely try this Uncle Vanya brand if it's made with REAL ingredients like they're saying. Sounds much more appetizing.
"B" in the Cyrillic alphabet is equivalent to "V" in the English alphabet. The "backwards capital R" is a vowel, named and pronounced "ya." "a" in Cyrillic is equivalent to "ah" in English.
another STUPID company LOL!! how many millions to put them there?? hey russia here have all these buildings that are all set up for you,,,, LOL just change the name and make something different.
Exactly...As Pres Trump always says..."Everything woke turns to shit"...Imagine how much revenue gets turned over in a single month by 847 restaurants...And "they" just walked away...?
It has always astounded me that people voluntarily go to McDonalds to eat. I think they could offer a Barbecue Bacon Swiss Piss McShit Burger and people would queue up for hours to buy one.
McDonalds/Burger King/Taco Bell/KFC are successful only in marketing horrible food to stupid people.
lol and they say Russia is not capitalist....lol
Some say there is a hustler behind every bottle of vodka.
Since budan has no control of the US Mil, would we be safer in Russia right now?
Magic 8-ball sez…maybe. Just don’t eat at Uncle Vanya’s 👍🏽
Right next to Martha's Vanya
Are there Biolabs nearby? I got a cravin for some petri dish meat!!

One that is commanded by their lords to shape public perception
Isn't McDonald's operator owned?
...and the corporation gets the franchise profits?
The Russian stores are all owned by the company, no franchises allowed in Russia. They make up 10% of all McDs profit.
normally, RENT for the land, the rest is just peanuts.. franchise fees, equipment, and single sourced supplies.
the get all the profits and let franchisees subsidize local losses.
It'll be subsidized by the U.S. taxpayer incoming bailouts, don't worry.
More propaganda. America is not the fattest country and isn't even in the top 10.
Saudi Arabia, Palau, Niue and Kuwait are several that are more obese. Middle East/Polynesia usually is more obese but their definitions of obesity are different than the rest of the world. The problem with American obesity or overweight definitions, is they will use only average weight across all age groups without even factoring height and shoe size.

I believe it is the cheap fake food
You forgot crisco.
I've seen plenty of folks in the U.K. that look like they know their way around a candy bar. Just sayin'.
Dangerous, yes. Delicious, also yes. C'est la vie...

standing up (is how I wanted to reply, because that would be funny)
Preaching to the choir, fren. The basic rule is, if you can't read all the names of the ingredients, you probably shouldn't eat it.

Nobody needs a gym.one of the fittest guys I worked with and our job build you for sure just got out of a 16 year stretch. Had nothing better to do.

Hey, show some respect - one of those hambeasts is the future president of earf.

I guess McDonalds showed them...((((sarcasm))))
If known health effects of a product are taken seriously, then McDonalds should not even be allowed to be in business!
Ya, but then you would bankrupt big pharma and their metabolic disorder and cancer therapies.

I want some heat, dammit!
the hot and honey mustard hardly have any mustard in them.
No ..... they are so giddy about their victory. They very much would take another hit in the stock value. Good for the average stock index as well.
Very but their dividend is too good to sell. I won't eat there but I will sure make money with them. However, maybe this is the canary in the coal mine to drop them before going woke makes them broke!!
Oh yeah, I should sell my mcd stock
too bad they didn't call it Uncle Iosef...from the dementia ward..
With real ingredients not Gates burger mixtures? I speculated to my spouse that Russia tested the meat and ordered McD to get the hell out of the country, that it wasnt McD idea.
You know what, that makes more sense than them just walking away. They got thrown out of Russia.
I was thinking the same thing.
I gotta try this.
Coke has been replaced with rum. Sprite has been replaced with vodka.
They have actual happy meals now.
kek.
Beet Fries.

Lol you’ll be surprised how much cheeper it is getting things shipped than local
Really? Then why is a burger more expensive in Ukraine than in Germany or Belgium? Check out the burger index or the Big Mac Index.
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/big-mac-index-purchasing-power-parity-burger-inflation/
It's not, based on your source.
How much do people earn in ukraine? 300 euro' s month worth of fiat currency?
Then 2.43 dollars is a luxury, especially with them energy prices Ukranians are paying.
I am Loving it!
Came here to say that! Kek!
Hah!

"B" in the Cyrillic alphabet is equivalent to "V" in the English alphabet. The "backwards capital R" is a vowel, named and pronounced "ya." "a" in Cyrillic is equivalent to "ah" in English.
Do you think they have water? Like out of the toilet?
Now with more molecules!!
Terrible stuff for plants, only Brawndo will do… electrolytes!

It's a reminder that we don't need these corporations, social media, or other such entities. They need us. We don't need to bow to them.
Exactly...They need us a whole lot more than we need them...
Fuck McDonalds, their food is nasty, unhealthy, and not really that cheap.
Damn, so no longer serving kangaroo meat… might be worthwhile to eat there now…
