Title
Ray Kroc opens the first McDonalds
What occurred
In 1955 Ray Kroc opened his first McDonalds and with clever marketing and restaurant placing, the chain soon skyrocketed in popularity. The company soon became the largest meal serving organization in the US. This was extremely good news for the beef industry, but as we've learned the feedlots for this beef can have a lot of negative environmental implications.
