McDonald's - A Good Patron of Palm Oil

London Eye

Big Ben
Westminster Abbey

Monday 13 July 2009

Another cluster of tourist attractions in Great Britain is the Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the surrounding area, including the London Eye. It was a hot day yesterday, averaging 22 degrees centigrade. My family had fun entertaining our little grandson whom we let loose along the River Thames where people were boarding the boats to experience the Thames River Cruise.

We had lunch at Queen's Walk around the premises of the London Eye. Mc D -Macdonald's- was there at the strategic spot where tourists could easily take a bite after the long leisurely walk from WestMinster Abbey before boarding the London Eye platform to view the prolific city.

I read in the London Paper that this fast-food giant McDonald's is to move its European Headquarters from London to Geneva, Switzerland to take advantage of more favourable tax laws in Switzerland. Whatever it is, I hope McD will not change its preference for palm oil in frying its burgers and chips. McD has long been a patron of Malaysian palm oil because of palm oil's good frying characteristics.
