★GLOBAL FOOD
Mumcan we go to McDonald’splease？
Some people might askWhere would we be today if we did not have fast food？and Where would parents take their children out to eat？
It has been reported that approximately 30 of meals consumed by families in the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bellthough probably none is more famous than McDonald’sThe distinctive golden arch can now be seen in most major cities in the worldIn 2002McDonalds had approximately 25000 restaurants in over 120 countries and served 29million people a day
Apparentlythe secret of their success is a marketing strategy of think globalact localMcDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their Mac meals to different culturesit was more successful than having a standardized set of products that taste the same everywhereSo nowaround 80 of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a local flavorFor examplein Hong Kongfood called Shake Shake Fries and Red Bean Sunday can be found on the menuwhile in SwitzerlandVegi Macs are served
Howeverfast food is not popular with everyoneIt is often called junk food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fatFurthermoremany people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of wastewhile millions of people in developing countries go hungryAt the same timemore and more people no longer cook fresh food at homeConvenience food is just too convenient It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spenceror some other supermarket chainto buy readymade meals on their way home from workIt is even easier to buy a takeaway from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home

Dear Brett
Welcome back to StSwithen’sI look forward to hearing about your adventures in the US
I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went awayand you need to know about them before you can start work
The main change is that we have had a new computer system installedYou will need to be trained in using the system before you can see any patients I’ve arranged for you to have a training session at 10o’clock on Monday with our IT consultantGerryHe’s a really nice guy
It’s especially important that you can use the patient records systemWe’ve had a few teething problemsand it seems complicated at first but when you get used to ityou’ll find it really helpfulFor exampleit’s much quicker than the old systemRemember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen？Wellnow it’s very quick
You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking systemso you can see who your next patient isThe new program makes it impossible to doublebook a patientso we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to
As well as the computer systemwe’ve also installed a new electronic security doorYou will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two monthsI’m afraid we made Bill redundantIt’s a shame I used to enjoy talking to him every morning
WellI hope you like the improvementsMost people find that it makes their work easier and fasterThere is one downside though the atmosphere has become less personalI used to talk to everyone a lotbut now we communicate by email most of the timeI even email people who work in the same room as me
Wellsee you on MondayBrettNice to have you back

★GLOBAL FOOD
Mumcan we go to McDonald’splease？
Some people might askWhere would we be today if we did not have fast food？and Where would parents take their children out to eat？
It has been reported that approximately 30 of meals consumed by families in the USA are eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bellthough probably none is more famous than McDonald’sThe distinctive golden arch can now be seen in most major cities in the worldIn 2002McDonalds had approximately 25000 restaurants in over 120 countries and served 29million people a day
Apparentlythe secret of their success is a marketing strategy of think globalact localMcDonald’s learnt that if they adapted their Mac meals to different culturesit was more successful than having a standardized set of products that taste the same everywhereSo nowaround 80 of McDonald’s restaurants are franchised to local people who serve food with a local flavorFor examplein Hong Kongfood called Shake Shake Fries and Red Bean Sunday can be found on the menuwhile in SwitzerlandVegi Macs are served
Howeverfast food is not popular with everyoneIt is often called junk food because it is said to be unhealthy and full of fatFurthermoremany people claim that fast food chains produce enormous amounts of wastewhile millions of people in developing countries go hungryAt the same timemore and more people no longer cook fresh food at homeConvenience food is just too convenient It is so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local branch of Marks and Spenceror some other supermarket chainto buy readymade meals on their way home from workIt is even easier to buy a takeaway from a local restaurant or pick up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home

From Simon Harris

Dear Brett
Welcome back to StSwithen’sI look forward to hearing about your adventures in the US
I’m writing because there have been a lot of changes since you went awayand you need to know about them before you can start work
The main change is that we have had a new computer system installedYou will need to be trained in using the system before you can see any patients I’ve arranged for you to have a training session at 10o’clock on Monday with our IT consultantGerryHe’s a really nice guy
It’s especially important that you can use the patient records systemWe’ve had a few teething problemsand it seems complicated at first but when you get used to ityou’ll find it really helpfulFor exampleit’s much quicker than the old systemRemember you used to wait ages before the information came up on the screen？Wellnow it’s very quick
You will also need to be familiar with the appointment booking systemso you can see who your next patient isThe new program makes it impossible to doublebook a patientso we shouldn’t get as many complaints as we used to
As well as the computer systemwe’ve also installed a new electronic security doorYou will need a special card from reception and it will need replacing every two monthsI’m afraid we made Bill redundantIt’s a shame I used to enjoy talking to him every morning
WellI hope you like the improvementsMost people find that it makes their work easier and fasterThere is one downside though the atmosphere has become less personalI used to talk to everyone a lotbut now we communicate by email most of the timeI even email people who work in the same room as me
Wellsee you on MondayBrettNice to have you back

Simon
