Another reason to avoid eating at " Fast Food Restaurant".

Even as McDonald’s Corp. (MCD), Yum! Brands Inc (YUM). and Domino’s Pizza Inc. (DPZ) work to placate anti-obesity advocates at home, they’re taking high-calorie offerings to other parts of the globe and hooking a new generation in emerging markets. Their target customers, often part of a rising middle class with a more sedentary lifestyle, are in turn putting on the pounds.

Good morning, lone.

You are what you eat. That's about some up how I feels about this article.
Not all the time, of course.  But it's has some truth.

Yeah, I saw that when I was going to India on business a lot.  I DID have a Chicken McTikka sandwich once, but otherwise I lived on wonderful Indian food.  Pizza Hut is big there, and in Delhi they had Lay's Potato Chip billboards all over.

Another problem in India is that more women are working outside the house and even if you're ambitious enough to make things ahead and freeze them, the power supply is unreliable so you could lose all the stuff in your refrigerator during a power outage.  So, fast food is easier.  I should also mention that men in India are miles behind men in the US when it comes to contributing to chores such as cooking in 2-income households.

Yes but often ingredients and offerings are not as bad/ and or more varied other places. I'm not saying its always a great thing, and generally I'd rather go to local places. However we took the nephews to Pizza Hut in Romania, and you would not recognize it as a Pizza Hut here. I've also read articles that compare ingredients and often other countries use more real ingredients, fewer chemicals, less corn products, etc. in their fast food.

My area is "substantially improving" which could sound like good news, but in reality it is because there are some pockets of women in this area that have been in real trouble for a long time.
