Good point but now this gives the poor ( who are the main patrons of fast food) more options and access to food they might not be able to afford or be initially attracted to.

>> "the poor ( who are the main patrons of fast food"

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

The poor are the main patrons of fast food joints? uhh...that seems like an umbrella statement if i've ever heard one. Where'd you find that info? In fact, some of the richest people I know are also the cheapest.

I think it's great to have such a nice choice for lunch. Not everyone can take 2 hours to eat. And I don't think the very poor can even afford McDonalds

The poor? That honestly made me laugh out loud! It's called FAST FOOD not CHEAP FOOD! It's for people who are in a hurry! Honest to goodness, some comments are hysterical!

The poor are the main patrons? I guess you haven't looked at McDonald's prices lateley.

You're correct, the poor eat at McDonalds. The second richest man, Mr Buffett eats at Dairy Queen!

i get the idea that McDonald's is thinking, perhaps, about the parents of the children who still love burgers and fries. i know i'm tired of that cuisine, but my kids are not. i'm in favor of some variety on the menu of the fast food my son works at.

I was just recently in Switzerland, where a Big Mac goes for nine dollars. Add three dollars each for a small drink and fries and you have fifteen dollars. I have to admit I felt pretty poor after eating there.

McDonalds has been around for ever i just think they are trying to give people an assortment of different foods,,witch it really does not matter people will still eat it........

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.

They are going to a lot of trouble to get "healthy" foods on the menu. I'd give my "golden arches" just for a baked potato instead of fries!
