chapter #2

          Mcdonnalds market's the children by all sorts of stuff. Like their happymeals, an how they include toys in their meals an change them frequently so the children dont get tired of them an keep them hooked up, really attractive playgrounds that can get anyones attention. They even compete with other famous idols like mickey by introducing ronnald,  hamburgler and grimace, an other's. My opinnion, that it is a really smart move of them. Because the children get bribed an get attracted so easly. Then they go an tell their parents, an all their friends an more an more people soon make the Mcdonnalds bussiness grow even bigger.
