The increasing popularity of junk food in the Gulf's Arab states has caused an epidemic of diabetes with 27% of UAE citizens and 25% of Saudi citizens suffering from the disease.
The expansion of fast food chains has also undermined the Arab boycott of Israel, as Arab governments collude with big business to allow companies like McDonald's, Coca-Cola, KFC and Starbuck's into the region. Even the Holy City of Makkah has two McDonald's, a KFC and a Starbuck's, amongst others.
