Jason EganBring back the Fat!!

Now, that gets the juices flowing!
Is it just me or have McDonalds completely changed the recipes for their burgers? I hadn't had Maccas for a while and last night for dinner i had a craving for a Big Mac, imagining the taste of their special sauce tantalizing my tastebuds. I know that they are now cooking all their burgers fresh to order but i had no idea that a fresh burger would taste so different to the usual tepid one.
This brought back the days of feeling duped when Arnotts started making all their biscuits 'Baked not Fried.' I am well aware their is an obesity problem in Australia, but i am dumbfounded why so many brands have altered the flavour of some much loved products in favour of a healthier alternative. It's obvious that things don't taste the way they used to, in general, but i only thought that was due to cost cutting and using inferior, cheaper ingredients. But unfortunately times have changed, and while many people are seeking out a healthier alternative, what about those people who enjoyed the flavours of yesteryear? I'm getting sick and tired of the 'Bertie Beetle' syndrome. While the options for healthier eating grow, the poor people who like a good dose of fat and sugar are being left out to dry. Are junk food conniseurs one day only going to be allowed to indulge 'outside', with the other social lepers... the smokers.
Mmmm. Makes my tastebuds want to jump down the back of my throat!

Awesome Food
yeah when the say freshly made, they dont mean freshly cooked, they mean freshly assembled, the burgers are cooked hours before and are sitting in a warming draw.
I liked the days when you could walk up to the counter and ask whats ready and they'd tell you whats made and you could be eating maccas in less than a minute...
ah well
