    The sheeple are going mad for it apparently. Wonder what the additive is that's in the 'burgers' that makes them so addicted?

    Switzerland and NZ too it seems.

    McDonalds - Key people
    Enrique Hernandez Jr. (Chairman)
    Chris Kempczinski (president and CEO)
    Revenue US$21.076 billion (2019)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald's

    Interesting list of the feeders and their interests here.

    As of January 2019, the board of directors had the following members:

    Enrique Hernandez Jr., non-executive chairman; president and CEO of Inter-Con Security
    Lloyd H. Dean, president and CEO of Dignity Health
    Stephen J. Easterbrook, president and CEO of McDonald's
    Robert A. Eckert, operating partner of Friedman Fleischer & Lowe
    Margo Georgiadis, CEO of Ancestry.com
    Jeanne P. Jackson, CEO of MSP Capital
    Richard H. Lenny, non-executive of Conagra Brands
    John J. Mulligan, executive vice president and COO of Target Corporation
    Sheila A. Penrose, non-executive chairman of Jones Lang LaSalle
    John W. Rogers Jr., chairman and CEO of Ariel Investments
    Miles D. White, chairman and CEO of Abbott Laboratories
    Andrew J. McKenna, chairman emeritus. Also chairman emeritus of Schwarz Supply Source
    On March 1, 2015, after being chief brand officer of McDonald's and its former head in the UK and northern Europe, Steve Easterbrook became CEO, succeeding Don Thompson, who stepped down on January 28, 2015.

    No irony in having a rep from Dignity Health on it.

    'Dignity Health is a California-based not-for-profit public-benefit corporation that operates hospitals and ancillary care facilities in three states. As such, it is exempt from federal and state income taxes.' Wikipedia

    It is a Catholic organisation with 39 hospitals and 240 ancillary care sites (whatever they are) with revenue of, wait for it, $10,522,568,000

    Coming to the UK soon, Johnson and Hancock, willing.
