Those fast food folks are not really your typical greedy US businessmen. It's a CIA plot to make Russians as fat as Americans, so the USA can win more Olympic medals.

And you appreciate Big Neon American Signs pasting themselves across your traditional cities? You enjoy your culture being Americanized? You enjoy the fact that likely millions of people go there because they are lazy. It doesn't change the fact that mindless people wanting quick food will always wonder into these restaurants. It is irresponsible to let them sell food as it is irresponsible to let those rat infested street stands selling their Shaurma. It goes beyond choice, it is neglegence. This has nothing to do about people, bigger choice, and economics. It is criminal. These big companies know they are fattening, they know they are enriching America by spreading their businesses around the world, an act that is NOT reciprocated. Then the waist lines of each nation that allows them to enter expand! And EXPAND They Have!!!! MacDonald's has already done its job in Moscow where the fattest people live. People don't know what goes into this food. Study what is in it. Absolutely horrible. These things are treated and bagged. Frozen. Russians quivered in fear over the story of 30 year old meat they said was around in the Nixon years that was about to be sold. This meat is no better.

Artyom, In Spain burgers were a fad 25 years ago when they arrived...but people continued with their traditional food, which is usually less or as much expensive as burger chains.
