NewsTarget.com reports:
McDonalds has announced it intends to double its outlets in China (to 1,000 restaurants) by the time the 2008 Beijing Olympics arrives. The fast food company also plans to sponsor the 2006 Winter Games, the 2010 Winter Games and the 2012 Summer Games.

Question: why on Earth is a restaurant chain that sells arguably unhealthy foods sponsoring events that should be all about health and physical fitness?

Otherwise there is a very funny article as well on Newstarget:
Would you believe there are actually McDonalds and Pizza Hut "Restaurants" in american Hospitals? Then read: "The Cleveland Clinic battles with McDonald's over fast food in hospitals".

Newstarget is a fantastic place to find articles and data, a few junkfood articles:

>Satire: the unauthorized history of Coca-Cola

>Food manufacturers scheme on how to sell more junk food to children

>Kraft sells avocado-free guacamole dip product made with hydrogenated oils

>Food manufacturers hide dangerous ingredients in everyday foods by using confusing terms on the label

Bon appétit!!!
