Was anyone else as elated as I was on hearing that MacDonalds plan to sell cheap bags of cut-up fruit as of this April. I even heard there would be Macaroni cheese too! Will the organised resistance to globalisation and consumer pressure actually believe their mouths … ? …
I’m sure that they will either be criticised for:
1 ) not publicising it enough,
2 ) making out that they are ‘in touch’ with their consumer base, and that the health of their customers is a major priority,
3 ) undercutting hard-working family-run grocery stores,
4 ) that the price of all their other products has risen (the double cheese-burger has already risen an inflation-busting 40p, or 41%),
5 ) using genetically-engineered products to cut down the cost of their expensive healthy initiative,
6 ) being cynical,
7 ) being macdonalds,
8 ) booting ronald
Is anyone else as McHappy and as McExcited and as McFullofanticipation as I am to see the symbol of globalisation, of subliminal persuation, of peace, of decadence, of capital, and of imperialism, respond to their criticisms (even if in the name of ‘choice’, or to reverse their falling sales, or to make their customers thin again) by supplying us with 59p bags of sliced fruit to fill the recommended amount, and with pasta salad, and with Robinson’s fruit shoot drink. The fast-food producers (albeit, a lot of fat and misery and manipulation too late) has finally awoke, and has delivered consumers with an initiative which is in the public and private interest.
