Some ghost changed all the settings on my computer, and I cannot see the urls anymore. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate the help. I am sure someone here will figure it out eventually, but I cannot provide a link to articles this evening, so I will just have to announce that this came from the Sun, a UK paper.


Did Big Macs kill boss?

Colon cancer ... Charlie Bell

By DAVID PENBERTHY

McDONALD’s global chief — who ate burgers almost every day — has died of colon cancer at just 44.

Charlie Bell was diagnosed only two days after becoming the firm’s chief executive last year.

Experts fear eating too many burgers can cause cancer.

Mr Bell’s premature death is the second to hit the firm’s top job.

His predecessor Jim Cantalupo died of a massive heart attack aged 60.

Mr Bell was flown home to Sydney, Australia, from his job at McDonald’s US HQ when he was diagnosed.

He dropped out of school at 15 to work in a McDonald’s and had boasted of eating company food almost every day since.

He worked his way up to become the firm’s youngest-ever boss.

He led the introduction of healthy food like salads.

Mr Bell, who leaves a wife and young daughter, once said: “If I die in this job, I will be very happy.”

McDonald’s refused to comment on the cause of his condition.
