McDonald's Is Going Organic!

April 1, 2008

I took a double take when I saw this commercial on TV last night. McDonald's is going organic? It's like an oxymoron, right? But it's true. They will be ditching their conventional veggies and serving only organic lettuce and tomato on their organic grass-fed beef burgers. Their French fries will be made with organic taters, and they'll even have packets of organic ketchup to dip them in.

They're also expanding their menu to include heart healthy veggie burgers made with tofu and soy cheese. Want to see a sample of their new menu? Then read more.

April Fool's! You were right if you thought this sounded too good to be true. Oh well, a girl can dream . . .

I was in awe for about 5 seconds. Even so.. organic doesn't always mean good for you.Organic potatoes can still cause some issues if you fry em'!

Good one! I thought it would've been pretty funny if McD's actually pulled this as an April Fool's joke. I seriously wonder how many people would believe it :) I was reading it and the first thing that sprang into my mind was "So much for the Value meals....they'll cost as much as a week's worth of groceries. But maybe they'll at least taste halfway decent"...too funny!

Hmmm...still not sure I'd eat there! But if I did, it's nice to know they'll have veggie burgers!

Well, it COULD have been true....they serve awesome veggie burgers at Mickey D's in the UK...but I fell for it hook, line and sinker. Guess I am going to have to go to the King for veggie burger goodness.
