the dbl burger will be missed, I'm sure all the other $1 offerings from all the joints will be gone eventually also. how low can you reduce overhead or increase production to make it profitable? it's got to reach a point of lowest common denominator. until they can figure out a way for them to import them from China Inc.
I understand all the mcd bashing, but really, all processed food is bad for you, whether it comes to you in a box (fast food joints), the freezer case, or on a plate at a chain 'retaurant' (applebees, friendly's, ruby tuesdays, etc). people want flavor, flavor equals fat. take the fat away, up the salt, sugar and artificial ingredients.
this also to say nothing about the amount of waste w/ all the packaging.
but it's all part of the culture. if you want to take you kids to soccer, piano lessons and the chess club, fit in between your tae bo class and your local preservation group and home association meetings, who has the time to cook?
about the beef tallow in the fries comment earlier, that's true. mcd fries did taste better because of it. when I read about it being eliminated in the US, mcd still made them that way for the Japanese market. funny.
also a comment about the so-called 'coke' they serve at mcds: it tates different than coke from anywhere else, like it has cinnomon or something in it. I haven't researched this (yet) but it is unmistakeably different (surely a cost cutting move).
