Now young people in Asia, Europe and South America have learned to eat while on the move; a hamburger in one hand and a soft drink in the other.

They think the time saved seems a high price to pay for poor health. The packages in which hamburgers are usually served are causing serious pollution problems in many large cities. Big hamburger companies are destroying large areas of South American rainforest to produce the cheap meat they need. So, will the hamburger celebrate its next century？
