【正文】 f thi s pany es to buil d i ts restaurant in our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I am very worri ed about McDonal d’s buil ding a restaurant i n our hom etown. We are a sm al m uni ty and we enjoy our l ocal di shes. I am not sure i f McDonal d’s food i s as healthy as they say in thei r adverti sem ents. When sci enti sts look at i t careful y, they find high l evel s of fat, sugar and sal t. Thi s i s very worryi ng. To m any young peopl e are getti ng fat through eati ng too m uch faty food. McDonal d’s i s not gi vi ng young peopl e a good i dea of what a healthy di et shoul d be. Local Chi nese fod, on the other hand, i s ful of fresh vegetables and fresh m eat and fi sh. The food at a McDonal d’s restaurant is al ways the sam e, so I wonder if i t is made or brought in from el sewhere. Although it i s freshl y cooked, i t must be l es heal thy than our own l ocal y grown and cooked Chinese food. I al so worry about al l those cars bringi ng peopl e to buy food at McDonal d’s. First, there woul d be petrol fumes(氣體 ), whi ch wi l m ake our cl ean ai r di rty. Second, there’s the problem of al those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from m ovi ng quickly through our town. I’m sure m any young people would be hapy to work for McDonal d’s but wil l they be treated fai rl y？ In Am eri can, McDonal d’s does not al ow workers’ uni ons to operate i n its restaurants and these are peopl e who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are hapy with them , why shoul d they fear som e workers joi ni ng a uni on? So when I consi der the fod, the cars and the jobs, I thi nk we shoul d not al ow McDonal d’s to buil d their restaurant i n our town.
