An article by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall of the Guardian on March 4, 2006 who is unashamedly excited by the news that McDonald’s has had to close 25 branches in the UK. The author believes this is due in large part to the two ‘McMovies’ that have recently come out – McLibel and Supersize Me.

Rotten.com Corporate Crime Site – this site is not for the faint of heart. It is meant to be an honest (if not slightly vulgar) portrayal of the arguments for and against McDonald’s. It has some interesting facts about the early history of McDonald’s and the personal ethics of its ‘founder’ Ray Kroc, with a comprehensive timeline of events for the company.
