Should we Protest or Order a Big Mac?

Simon Calder makes a good, if not terribly hip, point about McDonald’s. “Sometimes the familiar logo of McDonald’s provides welcome relief for a traveler,” he writes in the Independent. “The chain offers predictable standards of hygiene in parts of the world with uncertain sanitation, and solace for those in a strange land who are desperate for hash browns and the safe, insipid liquid that goes by the name of McDonald’s coffee.” He reports, however, that one major guidebook publisher may have crossed a line by top-listing the golden arches in the “where to eat” sections of its guide to Sweden.
