– McDonalds Sales Plunge In Worst Month Since 2003 Following Dollar Meal “Sticker Shock” (ZeroHedge, Oct 21, 2014):
Moments ago, McDonalds not only released earnings and revenues, both of which missed – something which was largely expected since the backward looking data had been telegraphed by MCD’s recent global selling collapse – blanketed by atrocious commentary, but it disclosed its September global retail sales which were for lack of a better word, a disaster, after reporting global sales which dropped 3.8%, below the 3.2% expected, and the worst global month since at least 2003. The pain was everywhere, with Europe plunging 4.2% (est -0.9%), Asia down 7.5%, and the US down a whopping 4.1%, far below the 2.8% expected, and also the worst month in over a decade.

Good. Hope people stop eating all fast foods. They are destroying our health.
As one who never has eaten at McDonalds, also would not feed my daughter their crap, I am glad I did that. My daughter was 12 when she realized a crab Louis was far more appetizing than any junk sold there……and she has no weight problem, like so many of her peers.
That was one thing I did right.
40 years ago, when these junk farms were just getting off the ground, I read an article in a local paper that said the preservatives in their food would show in the next generation, and that eventually, people would have no waist………
Boy, were they right. We have fatties everywhere, it is disgusting to see.
I can still fit in clothes I bought years ago. I don’t think getting older means you let yourself go to hell……
