McDonald's branch expansion blocked as council tells residents they're already too fat
McDonald's restaurant have been blocked after the council told its residents that they are already too fat.The £315,000 expansion was planned by the fast food giants for their branch in the Sydney suburb of Cremorne in Australia.But residents have been left fuming by the local authority's decision.The new dual-lane window would have been capable of serving 14 extra people at any one time, but local obesity rates have been cited as the reason for rejecting the proposal. "There is a concern that increasing accessibility to fast food, via an expanded drive-thru, may negatively influence the eating habits of children and adults, and undermine existing population health strategies to tackle obesity," a spokesperson for North Sydney Local Health District said.
