I am very worried about McDonald's building a restaurant in our hometown. We are a small community and we enjoy our local dishes. I am not sure if McDonald's food is as healthy as they say in their advertisements. When scientists look at it carefully, they find high levels of fat, sugar and salt. This is very worrying. Too many young people are getting fat through eating too much fatty food. McDonald's is not giving young people a good idea of what a healthy diet should be. Local Chinese food, on the other hand, is full of fresh vegetables and fresh meat and fish. The food at a McDonald's restaurant is always the same, so I wonder if it is made or brought in from elsewhere. Although it is freshly cooked, it must be less healthy than our own locally grown and cooked Chinese food.

        I also worry about all those cars bringing people to buy food at McDonald's. First, there will be petrol fumes (气体), which will make our clean air dirty. Second, there is the problem of all those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from moving quickly through our town.

        I am sure many young people will be happy to work for McDonald's but will they be treated fairly? In America, McDonald's does not allow workers' unions to operate in its

restaurants and these are people who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are happy with them, why should they fear some workers joining a union?

       So when I consider the food, the cars and the jobs, I think we should not allow McDonald's to build their restaurant in our town.
