I’m sure you woul d feel m uch heal thier.” They began to tal k about m enus and bal anced diets. “According to m y research, neither your restaurant nor mine offers a bal anced diet, ”expl ained Wang Peng.“I don’t offer enough fibre and you don’t ofer enough body–bui l di ng and energy–gi vi ng foods. Perhaps we ought to bi ne our i deas and provi de a bal anced m enu wi th foods ful l of energy and fibre. ”So that is what they did. They served raw vegetabl es with the ham burgers and boil ed the potatoes rather than fryi ng them . They served fresh frui t wi th the i ce cream . In this way they cut down the fat and i ncreased the fi bre i n the m eal. Thei r bal anced di ets becam e such a sucess that before long Wang Peng becam e sl imm er and Yong H ui put on m ore wei ght. After som e ti m e the two found that thei r busi ness cooperati on had turned i nto a personal one . Fi nal l y they got m arri ed and l i ved happi ly ever after. FOR BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I was excited when I heard that our m unity was to have its own McDonal d’s restaurant. I thought about al l those young peopl e who woul d not have to go to the next town to buy thei r favouri te burgers and chips. McDonal d’s cares about heal thy eating to and works with scientists to provide food that i s of hi gh quali ty, safe and heal thy. It i s al so cheap . They often provi de sal ads as wel as burgers and chi ps. You can al so choose between col a and m il k shakes(奶昔 ). Of course it also m eans m ore work for our area that needs jobs badl y. McDonal d’s say they are interested in doing what is ri ght for the muni ty and bei ng a good nei ghbour. So I thi nk they wil l be concerned about provi di ng parki ng for the cars in our m ain street. Many of our young peopl e wil l be onl y too happy to work for the pany. McDonal d’s m akes a promise to the peopl e that work for them . They say,“We value you, your growing skil l s and your help to the pany. ”I can see nothing but god i f thi s pany es to buil d i ts restaurant i n our town. AGAINST BUILDING A MCDONALD’S I am very woried about McDonal d’s buil ding a restaurant in our hom etown. We are a sm al l munity and we enjoy our l ocal dishes. I am not sure if McDonal d’s food is as healthy as they say i n thei r adverti sem ents. When sci enti sts l ook at i t careful y, they find hi gh l evel s of fat, sugar and sal t. This is very worrying. Too m any young peopl e are getting fat through eating too m uch faty food. McDonal d’s is not giving young peopl e a good i dea of what a heal thy di et shoul d be. Local Chi nese fod, on the other hand, is ful of fresh vegetables and fresh m eat and fish. The food at a McDonal d’s restaurant is al ways the sam e, so I wonder if it is m ade or brought in from el sewhere. Al though i t i s freshl y cooked, i t m ust be l ess heal thy than our own l ocal l y grown and cooked Chi nese food. I al so worry about al l those cars bringing peopl e to buy food at McDonal d’s. First, there woul d be petrol fum es(氣體 ), whi ch wil l make our cl ean ai r dirty. Second, there’s the probl em of al l those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from m ovi ng qui ckl y through our town. I’m sure many young people woul d be happy to work for McDonal d’s but wil they be treated fairl y？ In Am erican, McDonal d’s does not al ow workers’ unions to operate in its restaurants and these are people who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are happy with them , why shoul d they fear som e workers joini ng a uni on? So when I consi der the food, the cars and the jobs, I think we shoul d not al l ow McDonal d’s to build their restaurant in our town.
