Ronald

Not that I'm xenophobic

But our american cousins can be quite daft can't they? Slightly old news that our waistband challenged cousins have been getting up to silly yanctics concerning law suits and a certain Scottish restaurant. Personally I'm not adverse to munching on the highly unhealthy products of Ronalds' boys but I am also not unfamiliar with PMT*.

Our American friends must have experienced PMT on more than one occasion, although looking at the average volume of the US belly this could have taken a very long time. So their law suits have prompted a change in the marketing plan of the fast food giant. Let's be heathy, lets go to Mcdonalds. Doesn't sound right does it? Neither does, "I'll have a and a pasta salad please."

It appears to me that fast food is fast food. It is an indulgence but not sustenance. If people are stupid enough to eat it all the time then that's their fault but really, suing them? Idiocy. Still this outbreak of greed (monetary not gastric) could have had an unintentional knock on effect. A scared marketing team at McDonalds are pushing the healthy stuff. Great idea, but no one's eating it. Carry on at this rate and we might see the collapse of the Golden Arches.




*PMT = post McDonalds trauma. A direct result of taking an American appetite to a British belly
