Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
McDonald's is really trying hard to shake it "unhealthy" fast food reputation (though I wonder if any fast food doesn't have that reputation). It started with the introduction of salads - remember the McSalad Shakers? Recently, it's been the Apple and Walnut Salad, and the Asian salad. And now, in Australia, McDonald's is trying to expand itself by trying out Asian fusion flavors on their menu - Thai, Indian, and Italian, not just for the health factor, but to appeal to "sophisticated palates." The new dishes are: lemongrass chicken with penne pasta, rendang beef and penne pasta, beef bolognese penne pasta, and orange, lime and ginger chicken.
Sophisticate palate or not, wouldn't you rather go to a Thai, Italian, or Indian restaurant to eat Thai, Italian or Indian food? Not McDonald's.

Really? You need to come to my neighborhood. Lots of Lexus (Lexii?) going through the McD's drive-thru around here...

7-26-2006 @7:17AM Trish said... Actually, some points about poor people and McDonalds:
1)not all poor people get food stamps, in fact, most don't for a lot of reasons
2)The first post said this gives the poor more options. While the poor may or may not be the main patrons of fast food, they are certainly often stuck with that as their only choice. Better menus at McD's would still help the poor.
3)However, having said that, I bet the poor will still be stuck with the same high calorie, high fat choices at McD anyway, as those "better choices" will not be on the dollar menu.
