This photograph taken on September 6, 2018, shows the logo of a McDonalds restaurant in Montpellier, southern France. Since the 1970s, McDonalds was accused of being the exporter of 'bad food' to the land of fine dining, blamed for introducing American fast-food. And resistance to the golden arches continues: a mayor on the island of Oleron in western France has famously battled to keep the company out, and the brand is still a favorite target of anti-capitalist protesters during street demonstrations. But in a turn of events that would have had food purists choking, campaigners including local lawmakers have mobilized to save, not shut, a restaurant in one of the poorest suburbs of the southern city of Marseille.
