McDonalds went on a “just black tummies matter” advertising campaign not so long ago. It was blatantly racial. I think they were hiring mostly black, too.
Fast Food in general has benefited in the Billions from EBT, which we all know has exploded since Obama became president.
I know that Yum Brands (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, etc) accept EBT. Not sure if McDonalds does.
