Your Jaw Will Drop When You Hear What McDonald’s Just Announced About Their Menu–WHAT Is Going On?!

While Subway stores will be closing this week to introduce a revamped menu, McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski just asserted that the fast food chain *won’t* be making a change to their menu any time soon—despite claims that its offering is unhealthy to customers.
“It’s not up to me to make those choices,” he said in a recent interview with The New York Times when asked about the restaurant chain’s offering of foods that aren’t exactly nutritionally beneficial.
His response was—we give them what they want, not what they need.
“The way I approach the job today is: whatever the customer wants to buy,” he told the newspaper.
“If they want to buy plant-based and they want to buy enough of it, I could make my whole menu plant-based. If they want to be able to buy a burger, we’ll sell a burger,” he explained. Well, that’s one way to do it!
While nutritionists universally pan McDonald’s menu items for being high in sugar salt and saturated or trans fat, it’s disheartening to hear that asides from some plant-based options, the American chain doesn’t have any urgent plans to change its food option.
Fast food is addictive, cheap and readily available–and that’s not going to change anytime soon!
