The Russian consumer protection agency said Friday it is taking the company to court for selling foods that contain more fats and carbohydrates than are allowed by national regulations.

Based on what I’ve seen of Russian and Ukrainian women, many of them could use more calories in their diets.

Russian (and Ukrainian) girls don't drink vodka. They agree with the bartender beforehand to serve them shots of water, invite you back to their place, and have their boyfriends knock you over the head and take your wallet and passport.

Too many calories in the borscht shakes?

Too much fat in the chili-mac-bacon-reindeer burgers?

McDonald’s ads seem to be aimed toward a certain ethnic demographic to which I don’t belong. Therefore I don’t patronize them.
