We have all seen the video of Daniel Taylor grabbing Yasmine James at a Saint Petersburg McDonald’s. The fight was over a straw, which you now have to request because businesses are trying to get rid of plastic items that hurt sea life. The group Fight for $15 has announced a strike for Tuesday’s lunch hour at Florida locations standing up for Yasmine and better protection for Fast Food workers.
MIAMI BEACH, FL - JULY 18: Jeff Baughman unwraps his Double Quarterpounder with cheese and a Super Fries and a Super Coke on July 18, 2002 at a McDonalds in Miami Beach, Florida. The health effects of an American diet of super-sized fast foods are becoming apparent as increasing numbers of children and adults are being treated for obesity. Studies seem to point to the fact that many overweight children and adults get a large portion of their calories by consuming too many sodas and sweetened juices and beverages. Sweetened drinks + "super-sized" meals + the convenience of fast food + a decrease in physical activity = a recipe for obesity. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)
