Why did the author visit Plauen, Germany?
The author states the Plauen "ha been alternately punished, rewarded, devastated, and transformed by the greater unifying systems of the twentieth century..." (P 226). The first McDonald's built in East Germany was built on an abandoned lot in Plauen. This McDonald's was the first new building after the coming of new Germany.
What did London Greenpeace do to protest McDonald's and what was McDonald's response?
London Greenpeace spread the word that McDonald's was bad. They handed out pamphlets entitled "What's Wrong with McDonald's? Everything they don't want you to know." These panphlets accused McDonald's of such things as promoting Third World hunger and destroying the Amazon rain forest. McDonad's responded by suing five members of the group. They claimed that eveything the pamphlet stated was false.
