  When will CrackDonalds realise that people know there's cucumber, tomato, onion, lettuce in their food, but the reason they avoid is because of the rubbish "meat" and "bun", plus their history of immoral food content and processing such as ammonia bleaching, high fat, high processing etc.

  Because their push on fresh is reactive (not proactive) it comes across as "me too" rather than a strategic choice.

    Yeah agreed, it's a shame they didn't push the 'Traditional Burger' angle more 5-10 years ago. When I buy a burger I don't care if it's healthy or not (within reason of course), I just want the flavour of a quality burger and that's why Brisbane and other places have Burger joints popping up all over the place that make very simple burgers that taste incredible… because there's a big market for that even at $12+ per burger! There's nothing like a simple bread, meat, cheese, pickle & sauce burger and that's what Maccas should've stayed with and capitalised on instead of going with the fashion of being concerned with customers health. The 'cotton wooling' of society is getting worse!

    What's next… 'Doughnut Time' & 'KrispyCreme' trying to convince us their products are actually good for us?! We all know they're not and there's no reason to disguise the fact because we all still buy them :)

      I agree to a point; it can be fun to go get a delicious - but not necessarily healthy - burger. However, I think there's a big difference between 'unhealthy' as in nutritional value, and 'unhealthy' as in the sourcing of ingredients, their preparation and processing involved.

      If McDonalds could act on this and use their [what I assume to be their large] cash holdings to create experimental restaurants with an ethical food supply chain, perhaps they could gauge how the market would react to consistently produced, healthier meals scaled to a McDonalds-like level?

      Of course, once a business decides to to give more than 1 McNuggettyMuffin's worth about ethical, freshly sourced food supply chains, costs inevitably go up.

      Still hope a business out there one day can figure out a way to mass-produce affordable, healthier meat-based meals in a restaurant/takeaway setting.

        I agree, people who go to Maccas know it's junk, but it tastes good - that's what all the seasonings and additives are designed to do.
        I myself am partial to the occasional rotten ronnies quarter pound dirtyburger.

        Create your taste is a big investment for low margin, build-to-order is not why people go to Maccas, they go there for quick and dirty.
        If I want build to order, i'll go to a quality local business. No wonder they are having financial issues, and closing venues that are not performing. High investment projects with low ROI.

        I don't think McDonalds have a reputation that would support ethical sourcing as a marketing strategy. But the business model could launch a sister brand, provided marketing mix 4 P's (Product, Price, Promotion and PLace) were targetted and not hybrid.

        Even better, a business that can figure out mass-produced, affordable, NON-meat based meals (other than falaffel).
        Just the courage to have a mainly non-meat menu, with optional meat would be the turning point.
        Not just the meat is murder thing, but the yield on field crops is much higher per kg of protein than meat.

    Zigzactly. Totes off-topic, and completely agree with you.

    When I read this my reaction was like "Come, 'eat' 'lunch' with us and enjoy our 'fresh' wraps wrapped in really yummy happy healthy greens that may or may not mask the sad, anguished, stressed and ultimately compromised bits of protein we like to call 'meat', sourced from unhappy animals 'farm fresh' from what we call 'farms', but are actually more like factories….

    There might be one hiding wrapped up in the veggie bag -
    "Surprise! What better way to enjoy your fresh veggies than with a……………" ___

  I can't believe people would eat the salad at mcdonalds.
  I mean. It's so bad and unhealthy and filled with things that aren't good for you.

  Not to mention most stores now offer Double Quarter Pounders as part of the standard menu. So good!
  Salad lol.
