McDonalds gets a very bad rap for the food the sell. However, they have put other, more healthy, choices up for people. They represent our economy very well and do a lot of good for this country. Socially I would also say yes. I mean they do what they can to make things more healthy, but people still order the burgers and fries.
I have a problem with people who claim that McDonalds made them fat, they didn't force you in there and make you eat the quarter pounder meal.
I have no problem with cracker d's at all and love their food lol.
McDonalds is not Wal-Mart, don't even get me started on those douches.

It's sad if anyone things that McDonald's restaurant chain represents the economy or even has a social value. Just look the statistics where overweight people represent above 30-40%.
It represent a consumer society, where people doesn't "eat to live, but live to eat". This is a saying, that reminds me that eating is not a goal, but a means to live.
Sadly, the American way of life is going global and affects mostly the western society. It leads to overwheigt and all ilnesses that derives from it: heigh blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes and premature death.
This is why I never consider Mc Donalds a social value or a way of life.

Yes, I do beleive that McDonalds represents a specific segment of the economy and certain specific social values of some Americans today, in some form.

not really.
I more believe that it's another corporate entity that contributes to the common underpaid and mindless worker bees that it soaks up like a sponge, plays off the desires of children, and throws meaningless advertising into our minds with the desire to fill our bodies with meaningless food products that will kill you if consumed with regularity and all in the name of generating profit with a lack of concern for their customers, the quality of their product, or the well being of their employees. Other than that, they're okay.

Lets see. McDonald's is:
Cheap.
Fast.
Briefly satisfying.
Detrimental long term.
Sounds like a metaphor for America,
or a one night stand!

yeah but we need ronald McDonald to be in charge of a large group of very large and intimidating monsters that go to BK's, KFC etc and take them over, saying it is because these places harbour bad people, but in reality it is because they are buying up all the meat patties.
or something like that....

They represent nothing but the interest in their own money.
