I'm kind of fine with not overmarketing fast food to children.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yes, but the right trajectory wasn't to make the building dull, it was the make better food for kids.

I don't think McDonald's can make food that is fine for kids to get hooked on, without completely changing their whole deal

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

It's OK, we can abandon mccdonalds as a concept. No loss there.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Now we have shit buildings, and shit food, what part of this is good

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

The food at other restaurants

The fact that kids aren't begging parents to go to McDonald's any more? Did you read the same thread I did?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That's a fact?

If the food is shit, don't go there. Most people here are just reacting to nostalgia. McD has always been shit food. You just were imprinted from an early age to associate it with going out with friends, getting toys and playing in the play pen. But the food was always garbage.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Yes, the food was always garbage. How is that nostalgia? No-one said it used to be good, they said the building used to be cool looking.
So they make the building look worse and the food stays the same... Now it's all shit.
So what are you adding here?

Are you applying to be the middle manager of Lemmy or something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

How is that relevant? Nothing here is good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It would be so much better if they went back to aggressively marketing towards children, right?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes. If they had healthy food and aggressively marketed at kids that would be fantastic...

I don't know what part of this you and the other dipshits are not following:

  • Currently we have a shit building and shit food.
  • We want a happy building and healthy food.

Get off your fucking high horse for a second and learn to read. No-one said we want the shit they are serving now. I'm saying that instead of changing their marketing, they should have changed the food.
Clearly reading comprehension wasn't just an issue on Reddit.

but the kids dont want to eat healthy food, and yummy healthy food is expensive.
