40. 1. Health and Wellness
More Singaporeans are becoming health conscious
General perception has been formed that fast foods are
considered as unhealthy, junk food.
In general, the Singapore Government has been active in encouraging
healthy living and lifestyles from diet regimes for national servicemen and
students to posters in hawker centres encouraging the consumption of
more vegetables and less meat. Correspondingly Singaporeans, too, are
increasingly becoming more health-conscious.

McDonalds provide the nutritional facts of its products and
introduced more healthy food in its menu such as the chicken
wrap, salad, corn and apple dippers.
The move by the fast-food giant in Singapore is part of a healthy-image
makeover the Golden Arches is undergoing globally. The burger chain
would label the fat, salt, calorie and carbohydrate content of its food.
The Health Promotion Board is working with the fast-food chain on
providing nutritional education... help consumers make sense of it.

79. Impact and Implications
Introductory stage of the PLC
In the first year of McDonaldland, we incur a net loss $179,136.
This is due to the high initial cost of entry such as renovation
costs and materializing of promotion efforts to increase awareness.
However, when the brand name becomes established, profits
should be experienced (breakeven) as reflected in our financial
statement of a net profit of $125,539 in year 2.
