    The Olympic Stadium is seen from the balcony of the world's largest McDonald's restaurant in London's Olympic Park.

    The newest McDonald's built at Olympic Park in London is the world's largest, and when the Olympics begin in July, it will also be the busiest.

    The restaurant, which is one of four McDonald's to be situated within the Olympic Park, will have a staff of 500, seat 1,500 and serve up to 14,000 people a day.

    McDonald's is the sole restaurant allowed to sell brand-name food at the London Games, and despite complaints by British doctors, the food choices will largely be the same as McDonald's fare around the world.

    After the Olympic and Paralympic Games conclude the restaurant will be dismantled and all fixtures and fittings will be either reused or recycled.

    Customer Steven Price sits at a table near a HDTV screen showing the new McDonald's Channel featuring a commercial about McCafe drinks at a McDonald's restaurant, part of the test market for the channel in Norwalk, California October 17. McDonald's Corp will roll out its own family-friendly, all high-definition television channel to nearly 800 restaurants in Southern and Central California by March. The move is part of an expanded test of the service, which the world's biggest hamburger chain one day hopes to take across the United States.

    McDonald's Channel comes to California restaurants

    Maybe I'm overreacting to the symbolism of this. Is adding television to fast food restaurants a good idea for a company that is trying to sell healthier food? Full story.

    All the McD's here have tvs that run news channels all day. I like that much better.
