Ya McDonalds should inform people about how much calories are in the food they are eating so people know when to stop
No..its not mcdonalds job to inform every fast food restraunt how much calories are in their food and others.
no its not there job to inform people about what there eating. Its the people fault for not asking.
No, i dont think Mc Donalds should aware the people of the affects and calories their food contains. The people should know by looking at it and seeing how it affects other people.
No it's not McDonald's job to let the public know that what they are eating. The person buying food from them should be responsible for asking what the calories are in the food that they buy and eat.

No, its not McDonald's responsibilty to tell people about the calories in the McDonald's food. The people who buy the food should check the calories.
I believe that this situation is very closely related to smoking. Because of its harmful effects on the body, the surgeon general has made them put warnings on the box. This might be the case with McDonalds as well. If they were to put a sign outside there doors that said their food maybe harmful to your health if consumed on a constant basis, I believe that it would lower the amount that was eaten. On the other hand though it should be the peoples responsibility to look out for their own health.
I THINK IT IS THEIR JOB TO INFORM THE PEOPLE WHAT IS IN McDONALDS FOOD. THOUGH IT IS THE PEOPLES JOB TO AVOID McDANALDS LIKE THE PLEG
no. they know how bad the food is for them, and the people is who are making those choices, not the companies.
I think McDanalds should inform people what the food contains how much calories it has so they can know what there eating and they could make a choice.But then at the same time they should because its people choice what they want to eat.
No, its not McDonald's responsibilty to tell people about the calories in the McDonald's food. The people who buy the food should check the calories.
Yes they should have all the information about the food they are serving. i believe people know it bad it is for them and still would continue to eat it when they saw the nutrition information.
Jamie Hearron
Yes. I think they should have calorie charts available at any time. They should inform their costumers about how many calories they are consuming. The reason I think this is because America's obesity is growing and the costumers deserve to know.
IN A WAY I THINK MCDONALDS SHOULD TELL PEOPLE THERE FOOD IS BAD FOR THEM, BUT THERE JUST TRYING TOO KEEP MAKE MORE MONEY SO I DON'T THINK THERE GOING TOO DO SO BECAUSE THEY WANT THERE BUSINESS.

no, i don't think it is mcdonlds is resposabilit to educate people on how many calories their food has, nobody is forcing obese people to go and eat fast food i think they are at fault for their weight problems they should know when to stop.
i think its not McDonalds fault because the average american should know when enough is enough you have to be pretty dim headed not to see that this country is being affected by obesity.
McDonalds should provide nutritional information to the public, but it is not their job to inform the public of how bad their food is. If they did they would be out of business.
No, I do not think it is McDonalds' responsibility to inform the people of how unhealthy it is. Everybody wonders why we have such a bad obesity epidemic occurring and we all know it's because nobody will take responsibility for what they put into their body. People need to take ownership for their own actions and decisions.
yes they should have a chart to let people know what they consume.
Yes Mcdonalds shoud inform the public about the food facts, but it is the public's responsibility to read it. Max Collins per. 4
NO ITS NOT MCDONALDS FAULT. McDonald's sells bad food that's pretty much a no brainer their food is covered in grease and obviously not good for you but they don't hold a gun to your head and tell you to eat their food they put up a shop and wait for you to GIVE IN and go in and eat their food because they know they'll make a billion off of you because you won't go eat anywhere else they know you won't just walk past them that's why they put out deals and specials and playgrounds so that your kids cry and whine you to take them in. As far as nutrition goes advertising is 99% lies for any ad and you can go home and make your own nutritious burger don't listen to what they have to say they're giving you the food. Be stronger go eat something better and healthier.
It's not McDonalds responcibility to inform people how bad eating their food is because the people already know that eating at fast food retaurants is unhealthy.
I have mixed feelings about it, I do not think it is McDonalds responsibility to inform the consumer of how unhealthy it is. The consumer is the one who gets the "Supersized" combo and then decides not to live a healthy lifestyle.Mcdonalds isnt at fault for lazy or unproductive people.Although at the same time all fast food chains should have some kind of nutritional chart showing what the consumer is about to eat.Then its like a Dont ask dont tell policy.If you never ask for the information then it will never be given to you.
No i dont think Mc Donalds should aware the people of the affects and calories their food contains. The people should know by looking at it and seeing how it affects other people.
yes, McDonalds should have more information and help with showing better calories charts and such items
well yes and no becasue it is up to the people to be informed and ask the staff for the chart only if they care or else the just order and go without knowing they are killing them selves
No, its not McD's responsibilty to tell people about the calories in their food. The people who buy the food should check the calories and be aware, and maybe not eat it so much
No, I dont think its McDonals responsability to inform people the effects and calories that their food contain. People should know what they are eating.
it is mcdonalds job to show some of the nutritional facts which i think they do know on the back of the paper that goes on the tray. but thats as far as they need to go because its our job to not eat fast food as much or try to pick subway
While it's nice when fast food places do have the nutritional facts for their food, its not McDonalds JOB to do it. It's everyone's own personal responsibility to realize fast food is not healthy, and to use common sense when deciding how much to eat.
yes they should have a chart telling people how many calories they consume.
Rick Loomis
No, McDonalds is not responsible, if the people really cared about what was going into their bodies they would research it, and could easily find out. McDonalds is not responsible for the choices of their customers, they do not have to eat about McDonalds.
its not there responsibility, but they should put more charts of how many calories and sugars and whatnot in there stores. They don't have to let us know, there just trying to make business. Its our responsibility to eat healthy and stay in shape
It is not McDonald's responsibilty to inform the public about the problems associated with their food, it is the public's responsibilty to find out what they are eating.

yes. i believe that McDonalds should inform people how bad it is for them and the amount of calories they are consuming in the meal that they order.
I dont feel its McDonalds duty to tell people about how bad fast food is because why would they personaly destroy their huge food chain. I think it is simple common sense that fast food isnt good for you.
Mc Donalds is not responsible for what they sell because they arent making eat the food and however the companies wont care because they are making the money the like.
No, I don't think it is McDondalds responsibilty to inform the customers about the problems associated with fast food consumption as long as they have a nutrition chart put up for the public to see.

it is because its very addicting and makes you fat, but it isnt because they can say no to fast food from them.
no i dont think its the mcdonalds job to inform the public how bad the food is the public already knows how bad all fast food is, so if they eat there it was there choice to eat there, instead of eating some healthier homemade food..
I dont think Mcdonalds should be blamed for people who become obese from eating their food regularly, but I still think they should post the nutritional values of the meals somewhere so people can read them if they actually felt like it. This way they could see the downsides of getting the super sized items. I dont think their customers who go there regularly would really care what the nutritional value is, they'd probably still eat it.
kevin stivers
they should have a responsibility to inform people on all the dangers of there food, but shouldnt be held responsible for the people who knowingly eat!
No i dont think so because we are a free market economy and they sould not have to negativle market there own business.
No i dont think mcdonalds should tell people. People shoud just know. its common sense. if u are watching your calories then u know mcdonalds is a bad choice
i think mcdonalds is responsible for the food there serving to the people .they should tell them how many calories are in the food so people should stop and know how much to eat too.
Yes, i think its McDonalds responsibility to inform the customers about their food because if the customers really knew what was in their food and was informed about how many calories they are really getting in their food then i dont think that they would get as many customers and thats probablly why they dont show how bad their food is. although mcdonalds is bad, people are also to blame because they are abusing their body when they are eating mcdonalds and im sure that there are people that know that mcdonalds is bad for them but they still eat it.
NO!
because every person should knonw what food is good for you and what food is bad for you
I don't think McDonalds responsibility to inform the consumer of how unhealthy it is.
I don't think McDonalds responsibility to inform the consumer of how unhealthy it is.
No, its not McDonald's responsibilty to tell people about the calories in the McDonald's food. The people who buy the food should check the calories.
No... I think that it is are responsibilty to take care of our well being cause its are bodys
yes. mcdonalds should let people no what they are going to eat and how bad it is for you but at the same time its ur choice to eat it or not.
Absolutely not. People should have some sort of responsibility to know and learn that it's really unhealthy food.
noits alreasy known that mcdonalds is bad for you and its your own responsibility to eat it in proportions if not at all.dylan grayperiod 6
i think they are because people dont know what they are eating or if its bad for them. They are also responsible becasue they dont have the amount of calories of the food or anything
No, I don't think that its McDonalds job to be informing the people. You should already know that its unhealthy.
they should inform people about there food.
but at the same time there just try too make money so i dont think they will do so.
per. 5
i think that mcdonalds should inform the people of there food and what it could do to you and they should also tell you how many calories the food has and the fat

no i dont think it is their job to tell how much calories and stuff is in there food i think if the people are going to eat it they should know what they are eating......
Yes I think the McDonalds haft to post more health warnings and risks in every food.
i think that its not Macdonald's fault...its us we make the choice to go eat there we already now that its bad for us but we still make the choice to go eat there(some of us)but i learned alot from that video
i think they should inform people because with their information out, people will begin to realize how unhealthy eating there really is.
Amber Hollinger period 4
Well I think they should inform the public what is in their food, but I don't think they should be responsible for anything because it is the publics fault for eating their food continuously even though they know it's bad for them.
yes, becasue people should know what they are eating and how much fat and other stuff they are putting in thier bobies.
no, because people choose to eat mcdonalds knowing its greasy
karina barrera period 5
It is McDonald's responsibility to provide the information to those who seek it. However, it is not their fault if the consumer does not look.
Yes it should be there responsibility to let there customers know how healthy or not healthy there food is, if they didnt let people know then how would they know what would be better for them to eat, not all food at fast food restaurants are terrible for you.
McDonalds should have a calorie
chart.cause it is bad for you
they should tell people that their food is bad for people, but they wont because if they do then they will loose buisness, and money.
ya mcDonalds should let people know how many calories are in the food there about to eat...and maybe theyll stop eating it
ya i believe they should because their food is very unhealthy and they know that. they will not do that because they no they will LOSE money if they do so. Everyone knows fastfood is not good for the human body.
-josh fletcher
no, the nutrition information is out there and is available for people to obtain. So it is our fault if we eat too much fast food and we knew it was bad for us before we saw that movie. We are just looking for someone to blame america for being obese instead of the people -stephen guerin-
no. people are responsable for there own fatness.. they should already know that fastfood is fatning and that its bad for you.
i dont think that mcdonalds is not responsibil for the girls problems i think they should inform us on what is in the food but really i think we know how bab it is for us already.

no,McDonalds should not inform them about how much fat and calories that are in their food.
They should inform themselves by asking them how much fat or calories that are in their food they're about to eat or do some research on it.
No, I dont think its McDonalds responsibility to inform the people of how bad their food really is. Its peoples fault for not controlling how much they consume
I believe that it is not their responsibility because it is our own decision to eat the food that we eat. And it is not like they are all forcing the food down our throats.
