Thus, although hamburgers and fries are synonymous with 'comfort food' in America, in other countries, these food items are exotic -- also the pull of the 'whining' child has less clout than in America, hence the lesser popularity of Happy Meals and the greater emphasis on adult staples like beer. The idea of media violence in "Pulp Fiction" rather than "I'm lovin' it" shows how America is capitalizing on even negative or perversely, darkly attractive associations of American culture in other lands, as is the heart attack on a bun that the Japanese love to buy. Yet in the United States, McDonald's new campaign "I'm Lovin' it" caters to a more upbeat youth market and stresses health, athleticism, and wholesomeness. Americans do not need to be told that McDonald's is all-American, unlike foreigners, and one of the attractions of the chain is its uniformity, thus McDonald's seldom caters to American regional tastes, as it does to international dining habits.
McDonald's is clearly pursuing the right strategy domestically, as he Justin Timberlake ad oversaw an "unbroken string of monthly sales increases" ("Online Extra: Marketing in the 'the Age of I'" 2004, BusinessWeek Online). These increases were also partly due to the McGriddle breakfast sandwiches and entree salads, playing upon American desire for novelty in the form of a breakfast sandwich that tastes like maple syrup and also a desire to adopt more healthy eating habits and still eat at McDonald's. The new dollar meal stresses value for American consumers, although its sandwiches are less of a bargain in other nations, based upon the base salary of consumers.

Also, careless people with guns shot the condors at will; and when ranchers put out poison to kill wolves and grizzly bears the condors then fed on those carcasses and were poisoned as well. In 1937 the U.S. Congress set aside a refuge for the condors in Santa Barbara County and in Ventura County in 1947, trying to protect these great birds, Peeters explains (p. 114). By 1987, there were
