McDonald's Video Game - Today's Time-Waster

McDonald's Video Game is a flash game designed to show you the process behind every hamburger, brought to you by people who are obviously not a fan of the fast food joint. The game has four screens: The farm, slaughter house, restaurant, and corporate offices. You decide what campaigns to run, how many employees to hire, how many cows to have, and how much soy you'll need to grow for the cows to live.

The goal is to make as much money as possible. You can run campaigns such as "McDisney" and bribe political figures and nutritionists into helping your cause. The game is pretty easy to start, but as your restaurant becomes more popular you are forced to plow down rainforests or cut into villages land for your cattle and soy, which in turn makes people angry with you. Or better yet compromise the quality of your product so you can make more of it to satisfy the masses.

Whether or not it's true to life for McDonald's operations is questionable, but for someone who loves Sim games, this one kept me occupied for days.
