McDonald’s burger empire set for unprecedented growth over the next 4 years with 10,000 new stores

It plans to open 900 new stores in the U.S. and 1,900 in some of its bigger international markets like Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom and Australia. The company said it plans another 7,000 stores in other international markets; more than half of those would be in China.

I get what you mean, but that is probably a bad analogy. Let me explain.

Just because a mushroom is poisonous doesn't mean its mycelium living underground isn't essential for all the plants and trees in the area. Depending on the species, mycelium can carry warning signals between different plants, boost the health of the plant, increase fruiting yields and even fend off other damaging fungi and bacteria. There is even a type that will make little hyphae lassos to trap and consume nematodes that can destroy some root systems.

McDonald's does none of those things for humans, even in an off-handed analogy kind of way, unfortunately. It anything, a poisonous outcrop of mushrooms gives back more to its local ecosystem than a Big Mac ever has.

Fungi are so misunderstood... ;)

Here in Korea there are some but not very many. I guess you could squish quite many in here. The question is only who will go there to buy something? I haven't been to McDonalds for years. It's good at night when nothing else is open but if I can choose then I'll probable choose something else.

I used to live a 10 hour drive from the closest McDonald's. I think there was a lot of demand for the city that was in between.
