Fast Food Protests In NYC Underway!

It's been the talk of NYC (and up to 50 cities) over the past few days that fast food staff are demanding higher living wages. Some staff reported to ask for about $15/hour.  Other reports say a McDonald's staff claimed that they work harder than billionaires! I'm not so sure about that, but I do believe that minimum wage is very low for people to prosper, save and climb up the corporate ladder. Google shows there at least 250 McDonalds in NYC's five boroughs alone and we can guess that each store likely has fifteen part-time or full-time staff for the sake of this evaluation. This is a lot of people who deserve to live above poverty while working to get ahead.

Bolivia Says Peace Out Fast Food!

Think about it... As crazy as your day may have been today, it's worth a smile right now because the nation of Bolivia has cracked down on fast food with the great understanding that it's horrible for it's people's health. Bolivians clearly don't trust food that's made, prepared and rang up in seconds and thats comforting and eye-opening. Although there were eight stores left that were losing money they stayed open for brand awareness. That's a pride that only a super powerful company has the finances to afford such as the golden arches of McDs. 

Bolivia's Cultural Rejection

What seems even more eye-whomping, pun intended, is that the people have rejected McDonalds for many years the article shares. There is also a documentary supported by marketers, foodies and community members all over the country. It's important to really understand that deep in Bolivian culture is a high regard/respect what goes in and out of their bodies. They continue by sharing that the McRib has about 70 processed ingredients into one product. Oye! Last time I checked meat such as ribs were from nature's free roaming animals, not multiples added together, and when grilling you barely need spices, seasonings or bbq sauce to have a great meal.
