I'm Lovin' It....Or Am I?

Hello!

The other night I was reading the news when something caught my eye:  McDonald's is working to offer customers more real food.  More real food?  Was this an admission that the food served prior to this point was somehow fraudulent? What does this even mean? - I clicked on it immediately; they had captured my interest.  Now, I will admit, I do like the way McDonald's food tastes.  I can see some of you already, looking down on me.  That's okay, but you are the one missing out (on great taste and chronic illnesses).  I'm cognizant that this isn't a health food restaurant but I'm hoping at this point in the game, no one is thinking that.   

After clicking on the link, it took me to the actual article which was titled: McDonald's Tweaks Its Recipes: Now, Real Butter in the McMuffin.  Then my world came crashing down around me and I don't even eat their breakfast foods.  REAL BUTTER?  What impact was this to have on the taste?  What was I eating before, not that it mattered in the scheme of things?  McDonald's has never been real anything, why would they start now?  So many, many, questions.    

It seems the ever forward-thinking executive team at McDonald's is listening to the public (why?) and removing artificial preservatives, antibiotics, and high fructose corn syrup from many of its offerings.  All I can say is, I hope they don't do anything that alters the one food item they have perfected: the French fry.  My god do they make a killer French fry.  Few things in the world are as perfect as those golden sticks of salty goodness.  I was disheartened to initially read that McDonald's move to offer breakfast round the clock resulted in an increase in sales, but the article noted that that too has started to slow.  Good.  As a McDonald's French fry supporter, I move to eliminate all day breakfast.  Who needs that anyway?!  What they should be doing is offering French fries all day.  I feel almost certain this will permanently boost sales.  Wouldn't you capitalize on the one thing you do extremely well?  Why the executive team has not considered this is beyond me.  If you are deep frying a hash brown in the A.M. why is it such a leap to throw some fries in there too?  These are the thoughts of a French fry enthusiast. 

From my read of the article, I did not find anything that suggests the beloved French fry would be altered.  And for good reason I'm sure.  Wouldn't this result in anarchy and pandemonium?  Doesn't that qualify as a crime against humanity?  I feel like it would.  Perhaps the executive team has not lost all its sense. 

So go out there, get yourself some delicious French fries from the golden arches and whatever else tickles your fancy.  Also, write to your local ombudsman or congressman/woman to appeal to McDonald's that they never alter the sacred fry.

Sincerely,

Carrie
