: In July 1997, Hungry Jack's are planning to open a franchise on the main campus of the University of Sydney. This corporation is a very thinly veiled imitation of the Golden Arches, selling the same crap greasy food and gelatinous non-dairy beverages, employing teenage casuals and promoting world-wide mediocrity and consumerism. If you have any dirt about Hungry Jack's, if you support this fledgling campaign to halt the march of American bad taste into Australia and the rest of the world, or if you can offer an opinion on this campaign, please submit a message.Campaigns like this attempt to limit rights to freedom of choice. Even though their food is not healthy, the occasional meal there will not pose any important health problem. The majority of students I have spoken to (mainly engineers) showed overwhelming support for the idea of a Hungry Jack's franchise. I do not complain about your food preference (which from the above I expect to include dairy foods and possibly vegetarian) or oppose outlets catering to those tastes being opened on campus.
Campaigns such as this do not consider those who may _benefit_ from the opening - the employees (who are generally satisfied with the wage, despite claims about exploitation) and those consumers, such as myself - who will eat that type of food in the same quantity whether or not the outlet opens.
