McDonald's Set For Biggest Outlet Ever For London Olympics

Something much bigger than this is coming to London
McDonald's has announced it is set to build her biggest outlet ever in London ahead of 2012 Olympic. Biggest outlet ever? (pause) Hope that does not mean more obese people numbers ever? Well, its the Olympics so lets hope the 'multitude' that will flock in there regularly will also find some time to exercise or try in some Olympics games and burn out some fats while they are it. But then sports men burn out so much much calories so somebody is gonna eat. A quick one - just in-case you are wondering how to stream and watch all London Olympic 2012 events live on your Computer at no cost, this site is offering you the opportunity.. You can watch all live sporting events live on your computer (together with other lifestyle and entertainment chan nels all in HD) without no subscription, hardware or installation needed. No virus too so get connected. Here is news as reported by [thepostgame]

McDonald's is certainly taking the Olympic motto to heart by building its largest restaurant ever for the 2012 Summer Games in London. The 32,000 square foot monstrosity is just one of four new locations the burger giant will use to serve the sports-loving fans who flock to the city. The restaurant expects to serve a mound of fast food over the nearly month-long Games. Early projections include 50,000 Big Macs, more than 100,000 portions of fries and 30,000 milkshakes.

But British health officials don't think there's anything happy about these meals.

"Given the huge public health issues of childhood obesity," said parliament health committee member Grahame Morris in a statement, "it is legitimate to question whether having the world's biggest McDonald's at the Olympic Park is sending an appropriate message to our young people."
The British Medical Association went even further: "Given many countries in the developed world, and some in the developing world, are facing a major problem with obesity, it is unfortunate that McDonalds are major sponsors at the 2012 London Olympics."

The company, with over 32,000 locations worldwide, has been a sponsor of the quadrennial games since 1976. Next year the golden arches will take that presence to a whole new level, reports the London Evening Standard. The main branch in Stratford will stretch nearly half of a football field, hold 1,500 seats and require nearly 500 employees.

McDonald's will even have a location in the athletes' village, although who knows if any of the perfectly-toned competitors will fuel up before the biggest events of their careers with fries and a shake.

Certainly the health-conscious will continue to rue the consumption of so much fast food alongside such feats of human performance. For its part, a company spokesperson said in a statement that McDonald's food "can fit into a balanced, active lifestyle."

The BMA wants more discipline on the part of the company and its customers, insisting "these products should be seen as very rare treats."

Not likely. McDonald's believes one in five meals eaten during the Olympics in London will be one of theirs.

Faster. Higher. Stronger. Fuller? Or just fatter?
