The fast food industry continues to be one of the most powerful forces in the U.S. and across the globe, affecting not just the daily lives of people who work and eat there but the communities in which they operate.

With that in mind, it's a given that the actions of these companies have more far-ranging consequences than simply their bottom line -- they affect the environment, workers and their families and the health of people across the board.

We'd like to see fast food juggernauts like McDonald's, Taco Bell, KFC, Burger King, Wendy's and others make resolutions for 2013 to improve themselves in these areas and more.
