Suggested answer:
To my way of thinking, many people Choose to go to the McDonald’s or KFC for the following reasons. First of all, food is served fast and thus time is saved. Besides, it is different from a Chinese restaurant and gives a foreign feeling to people who never have a chance to go abroad. Moreover, people can learn something about American culture. So “Don’t dismiss the dish saying that it is just, simply food. The blessing thing is an entire civilization in itself.”

Nowadays, it has more than 30,000 restaurants in over 100 countries serving millions of customers each day. That explains why the tearing down of the first McDonald’s restaurant had caused such a big stir in the minds of many Americans.
