McD image and ethics

A paper entitled "McDonald's: a good image with bad ethics" written by Aimee Gibison available here. Among the ethical issues raised ...

The chain has stirred up controversy with some United States Hindus, many vegetarians, and some Japanese. “McDonald's, the fast food giant currently embroiled in a row concerning undisclosed beef flavoring in French fries, has made a formal apology to those it has offended” (McDonald’s resolves french fry dispute, 2002). This may seem like a petty dispute, but is not a small issue to Hindus who believe that the cow is sacred.

McD at Macau

While visiting Macau spotted a McD right at the city tourist attraction center. A visitor stated that this particular McD located at Senado Square (click source).

So it's very true what is written here ... 

... With so many McDonald’s located world-wide, many find it somewhat refreshing to see a familiar place when traveling in unfamiliar places. By homogenizing products and appearance of the stores, McDonald’s sells this feeling of comfort and familiarity.
