However I personally disagree with this proposal because it is very difficult to define what exactly junk food is. There ...

Introduction It is arguable that if many people were consulted, they would opt for refuse disposal sites to be situated far away from residential areas and places of business. There would be efficient garbage collection services (Meesters, 2009). However, this is not the case in many of the residential areas. The garbage collection services are inefficient either due to mismanagement or inadequacy of resources. In some residential areas, the efforts by the local authorities are complemented by private garbage collection firms (Mwangi, 2002) in order to eliminate the health hazards (Rajvaidya & Markandey, 2005).

Another research shows that in recent decades consumption of junk food has increased dramatically, and ...

I love food. I love breakfast, lunch and dinner. I like going to a restaurant and ordering a big juicy burger with cheese and bacon and a side of fries.

McDonald’s has come under sharp criticism lately due to our advertisements that are aimed at children. This public outcry highlights the ethical dilemma that is marketing to children and youth especially for products that are unhealthy. Seeing as McDonald’s is the world’s largest fast food chain with 34000 outlets worldwide (Simon), it is imperative that we ensure that all our advertisements are not only legal but also ethical. The negative publicity is hurting our company’s image and may lead to a decline in our profits which are currently at $ 27 billion annually (Simon).
