Let's face it, American's are out of shape. I consider myself average, and I could stand to get in better shape. And I blame no one except myself. But that's not good enough for most people I guess, they need a reason. And the culprit is clear, McDonald's.
I don't like McDonald's much, except the breakfast, but I can remember when they started the super size option. For 39 cents they give you a couple more french fries and a gallon of Diet Coke. And I loved it. I have always been sort of a french fry junkie, and it's about the only thing that's hot at McD's. So from then on I have always paid the extra dough for more potatoes. Now they're taking it away!
Is it McDonald's fault that they had a great idea? Give the people what they want. I guess they took that to heart, now we want to lose weight and the only way to do it is to abolish the super size. All I can do now is hope that it's just a marketing scheme to sell more later. For now I'll be ordering french fries by the bulk until they cut back. And then I'm going to boycott, that'll show 'em.
