Congratulations on your success across the globe. I hear you have more fast-food restaurant locations than any of the other mediocre companies combined. People groups everywhere recognize those brilliant golden arches and that friendly faced clown. Seeing a McDonald’s is like finding an oasis in the middle of the dessert for most people. But praising your success isn’t what I am writing to say- you know better than anyone just how productive your company is.
Your product is affordable for most families throughout the world. In fact, yours is the only restaurant where you can get a hamburger for 59ȼ and allow your child to play. You claim you serve six million customers a day. Your profits must be immense. Since you have so much money at your disposal and all that chemically “enhanced” food, here’s what I propose.
Instead of spending your profits in the media, promoting your product, feed a starving family in Africa. Here we are in obese America, eating away at our Big Macs that we can conveniently find every two miles, and there Africa is, with its starving minority tribes with their bloated bellies and boney legs. They have to walk almost six miles to get water and we have to drive in our expensive SUVs two miles to pick up a few happy meals and a supersized box of French fries. We intake more calories in one meal than they do in an entire week.
I’m not suggesting you totally annihilate your profits here. I am merely suggesting you really give back. Suppose for every three Big Macs you sell, you give one away in Africa. Not only would this give you media attention that money couldn’t buy, but it could inspire America, who really admires your product. You could feed a family and receive free advertizing. No, I suppose a Big Mac giveaway wouldn’t be free for you, but you would barely see the dip in your profits.
While the rest of the world is suffering from coronaries and the rising health cost of riding in a motor scooter, Africa prays for hope, for help from the more fortunate. I know you are probably sitting there in your plus size Armani suits thinking, who is this kid? Is she some health freak who boycotts fast-food hoping the rest of the world will catch on and loose a few pounds? Is she one of those customers who didn’t heed the warning featured in articles all over the internet warning you to be cautious of your fast-food consumption? The answer is, no. I am an average American who suffered an epiphany while washing her dishes.
We are fat and Africa is starving. You have more power than anyone else to do something about it. The choice is yours.
Would you like to Supersize that?
