At McDonald's®, we believe that African-American culture and achievement should be celebrated 365 days a year

I just wrote three responses to this post, but none of them adequately expressed my dismay so I'll take a pass.
Good link Karen.

McDonalds is laying the groundwork for a class action lawsuit against them for racism. This site will be used as evidence that McDonalds willfully and hatefully encouraged obesity among blacks along with its attendant problems, in order to profit off the misery of less sophisticated blacks who weren’t properly informed about the dangers of a high fat high sugar high salt diet.

I recently re-read "The Little Prince," and in this light, the tree reference makes perfect sense:
Now there were some terrible seeds on the planet that was the home of the little prince; and these were the seeds of the baobab. The soil of that planet was infested with them. A baobab is something you will never, never be able to get rid of if you attend to it too late. It spreads over the entire planet. It bores clear through it with its roots. And if the planet is too small, and the baobabs are too many, they split it in pieces . . .

Many consider the most popular dish to be KK's number one: three fried chicken pieces, two waffles, two cheese-covered eggs, onions, and a side of grits. However, save room for the delicious Sandy Sand's Red Velvet Cake.

Fast food doesn't do anyone any favors, regardless of what color you are.
Also, the website is horrifying.
