Forty years ago in 1967, Jim Delligatti, a Pennsylvania franchisee introduced the Big Mac and since then has become a trademark for McDonald's. To celebrate, Delligatti is opening a Big Mac Museum Restaurant this week. While McDonald's is celebrating... America is in disgust. Some say that "a 540 calorie sandwich is nothing to celebrate" and that the Big Mac marks forty years of an obesity epidemic. Many people believe that the Big Mac sparked America's 'super sized culture'. I think that the Big Mac has been a success for McDonald's but we cannot be blindsided by the fact that its harmful to the health of consumers worldwide.
