Is it me or has the "golden arches" gone over the top with their McCafe stuff. I get it you lost some money to the coffee shops. Was it that much, that you had to add this whole extra section of unnecessary items. It just a whole bunch of extra things that the teenagers can't possible get right. No offense to your young bucks, but you guys have a hard time getting no pickles correct! You expect me to hope Miss 18 and single mom is going to get a order right that includes them putting sugar into a cup? I don't think so, and no I have not had a bad experience with said company or even a bad day for that matter. It was just time for them to be brought up on crimes of big business. Going after the coffee shop markets with their mocha coffees, Parfaits, and other ridiculous items. Good luck local and even big business coffee shops. You're going to need it. p.s. I believe the are still trying to change their image after the "Super Size Me" incident.

Well said, Brother Nathan! Down with McDonald's! And Burger King! And for that matter, Wendy, too! It's all garbage, so the advertising people are working OT trying to get back the market share. Face it Burger Boy, the current market is way too trendy for you, what with Starbucks, et al. McDonald's just isn't all that highfuhlutin and the consumer has gotten a wee bit persnickity.

WARNING!! NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!! I watched "Food, inc" last night. Kinda wish I hadn't. I mean, we as a people should have a better understanding of where our "food" comes from and how it's processed and the politics of it all, but man, sometimes the truth is very disconcerting. The documentary wasn't about the grossness of a slaughterhouse per se, more about the unintended consequenses of how food has been engineered to maximise profit at the risk of safety and morals and quality integrity. What about The Temple? After watching this, I feel like going off into the middle of nowhere and eating only what I can grow and kill myself. Damn. Such a shame, the industialization of food, even saying it like that is somehow a perversion of an essential act of human survival.
