THE FRENCH LOVE MCDONALDS!!

—The French, of course, are famous for heaping scorn on American fast food. But France’s dirty little culinary secret is that one out of every two French people visit McDonald’s at least once a year. In fact, McDonald’s is so popular in France that the country is now McDonald’s second-biggest moneymaker in the world after the United States. (McDonald’s success is spreading throughout the rest of Europe, too, where sales growth is outpacing that in America. McDonald’s is now one of the biggest private-sector employers on the continent, with a workforce of some 300,000.)—
