Avoiding the Uncomfortable Truth

Corporations like McDonald's tend to divert attention from pressing issues, such as the impact of their products on childhood obesity and mental health, by focusing on more palatable topics like inflation. There is a suspicion that they avoid acknowledging the role of substances like GLP-1 due to investor pressures, opting instead to present inflation as a cyclical issue that will eventually resolve. This strategy serves as a distraction from deeper, systemic problems that their business practices may exacerbate, thus raising ethical concerns about corporate accountability and public health.
