  • McDonald's Makes Its Logo More 'Green' In Europe (November 2009)
  • McDonald's Israel: "McDonald's Israel is owned and run by Israeli businessman Omri Padan. Padan is President of Alonyal Limited which is local licensee for McDonald's. Currently McDonald's has 160 restaurants in Israel, with 40 of them under Kosher supervision (on December 2011), meaning they are closed on Shabbat and Jewish holidays, have no dairy products (such as cheeseburgers), and for Passover serve the meat on Passover buns. In Israel most branches are non-kosher since they serve cheeseburgers (which are non-kosher, i.e. do not conform to traditional Jewish dietary law) and they serve milk-based desserts (ice cream, milkshakes). Some of the kosher branches serve milk products in a separate section of the restaurant"
  • Chinese School, a great BBC documentary
  • Bento
    • Single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japanese cuisine.
    • "Bento" originates from the Southern Song Dynasty slang term 便當 (pinyin: biàndāng), meaning "convenient" or "convenience."
    • It inspired IBM's ThinkPad design.
