- I was running out of ideas in my studio art portfolio class So I decided to put aside that time for silliness! Thus this masterpiece was born. I strongly dislike Mcdonalds, it tastes like a wet sponge ( At least I think, Ive never really tasted a wet sponge) I haven't eaten it for 5 years counting! My goal is the rest of my life. Mcdonalds has around 31,000 establishments worldwide in 119 different countries. They are growing and have become a great eco. power in their industry. In the time span of 3 years China has been besieged with over 500 different McDonald establishments! ZOMG! Any who I thought I would try and recreate how this empire of fatness came to be or how it was encouraged to expand!
