== Section 8.3.3 Criticism-Legal Cases-UK ==

I would question the statement in this section that ''McDonald's sued a Scottish café owner called McDonald, even though the business in question dated back over a century (Sheriff Court Glasgow and Strathkelvin, November 21, 1952)'' The date seems unlikely given that McDonald's was only just beginning it's franchising at this time and in fact did not enter the UK market until 1974 in England and Scotland in 1987. <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_with_McDonald's_restaurants </ref>
A google search using various parameters failed to turn up any reference to such a case at any time, and I note that no such case is mentioned on the ''McDonald's legal cases''<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald's_legal_cases</ref> page. I would suggest this starement be either properly verifed or removed.

Global Impact

As a global enterprise, McDonald’s has edited its menus to appeal to different markets abroad. As a result, there are multiple menu items only available in particular countries or specific regions. For instance, the BLT bagel is exclusive to Canadian McDonald’s, while the McArabia is only available in Pakistan and Arab countries.[1]

The corporation’s sensitivity to foreign markets is perhaps the most apparent in France, where McDonald’s has adapted their franchises to the French culture. Meals are a prominent part of French society, as the French spend hours a day sitting at the dinner table. McCafes feature chairs and sofas in a decorated environment, encouraging people to take their time while eating. They have even adapted their menu to include French-inspired food, such as the recently introduced McBaguette. As a result of this approach, France is McDonald’s second largest market.[2]

China used to be a top consumer of McDonald’s as well, however a recent scandal has led to a decline in the corporation’s popularity. A Shanghai reporter secretly filmed inside a food plant of a major Shanghai processing plant that supplied food to multiple popular fast food companies. The footage showed workers processing and repackaging expired meats and even meats found on the floor. Since this scandal broke, Chinese McDonald’s consumption has dropped, but products were scheduled to return after August 3.[3]

In the lede, we list "chicken" as a standard menu item and "fish" as something they've expanded into the menu to address tastes. I'm unaware of any chicken on the McD's menu before the introduction of Chicken McNuggets in 1983; fish has been on there since at least 1962, in the form of Filet-O-Fish. I don't claim full knowledge, but should "fish" be moved off of the expansion list? --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:36, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Website in info box

McDonald's main website is www.mcdonalds.com/us/en/home.html

That's only for the US, and I think the site automatically detects IP addresses. Different countries have different sites: [4]. Wikipedia is international, and this article is about the whole company, so it makes more sense to link to the company's corporate website, rather than pick a site for only one country.
