OSLO, Norway (AP) - Humanitarian groups criticized McDonald’s for a new sandwich called the McAfrika, saying the offering is poorly timed because millions of Africans are facing starvation. But aid officials on Monday welcomed an agreement by the fast-food restaurant chain to inform customers about the potential famine in southern Africa and tell them how they can help, Tarje Wanvik of the group Norwegian Church Aid said Monday. McDonald’s announced last week that the new sandwich, made of beef and vegetables and wrapped in pita bread, will be sold at 15 restaurants in Oslo. The sandwich was advertised as being based on African recipes.
What’s next, the Ethiopian buffet? The Chinese Human Rights Happy Meal? The Iraq Pack with a bobblehead doll of Sadam inside?
