Al though i t i s freshl y coked, it must be l es heal thy than our own l ocal y grown and cooked Chi nese food. I al so worry about al those cars bri ngi ng peopl e to buy food at McDonald’s. Fi rst, there woul d be petrol fum es(氣體 ), which wil make our clean ai r di rty. Second, there’s the probl em of al those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from movi ng qui ckly through our town.

If, as they say, the workers are happy with them , why shoul d they fear som e workers joi ni ng a uni on?
