There must be some kind of wacky synchronicity at work. Today, McDonald’s announced that they would try to reduce the amount of fat in their French fries.
Presciently, The Onion posted this piece.
“With Americans becoming increasingly health-conscious and litigious, the restaurant industry felt it necessary to protect itself with a self-imposed cheese cap,” said Paul Conklin, president of the National Association of Fast-Food Retailers. “Gone are the days when we could load a burger with seven slices of fatty, cholesterol-laden American cheese without fear of reprisal.”
Beautiful.
