McDonalds directly contributes to the creation of hunger and poverty by buying the low-cost products produced in third world countries by global agro-chemical companies and offering food which is high on the food chain and resource intensive.
Although the McDonald brothers had themselves invented the "Speedee Service System" in 1948, establishing the principles of the modern fast-food restaurant, and had begun franchising their restaurants before they met Kroc, it was he who recognized the enormous potential their restaurant had.
Kroc's enthusiasm for the company was strong, and in his first year with McDonald's he unsuccessfully attempted to convince Walt Disney, a fellow WWI ambulance driver with whom he had been acquainted, to let him open a restaurant in the forthcoming Disneyland.

 Don Gorske Information
In spite of his diet, Gorske is 6 feet (1.83 m) tall, 180 pounds (82 kg), and claims a cholesterol level of 140.
Although McDonalds Restaraunts refer to Gorske as an example of a person healthily subsisting on a diet consisting exclusively of McDonalds' food (see McDonalds Advocacy page) it is apparent Gorske is exceptional in being able to comfortably subsist on a small amount of solid food that would make an average person ravenously hungry.
Gorske's lack of obesity is not suggestive of the healthful qualities of McDonalds' food, as someone could eat exclusively hogfat and not gain weight, as long as they ate only enough to supply 1000 calories.
