The Myth of French Golden Arches Revulsion

I can't speak for the quality of McDonalds food in Europe, but I have disturbing memories of eating good ol' American McDonalds. Growing up in a small town, it was pretty much our only fast food option. At the ripe old age of 15, I decided that I was done with it. I am proud to say that I've stood by that decision.

Ive got cats that eat everything from lettuce and radishes to my oldest who loves a mushroom pizza every other month. I get a small mushroom pizza and let her have at it, she isnt big on the crust, but she adores the mushrooms and cheese. Since she's 17 (at least) and still going strong my vet and I think its better t give her the pleasure.

Why is it sad? They are French, living in France - they've had their food for thousands of years, and are willing to try new things. It shouldn't be sad to anyone. I can think of sadder things. How about "Freedom Fries"?

Did the harsh reality of the world intrude upon your idyllic vision of what France *should* be? Is it your job as an American to dictate the terms of development in countries you visit?

I'd love to hear your reaction when you go to Shanghai or Tokyo and discover Asians have better cellular phones, more efficient vehicles, and don't live in mud huts and shit in holes in the ground.

jsd517 nailed it....folk tend to eat at fast food joints for one reason, it's the horrid television, ads are constantly seen that show happy customers and polite, efficient employees enjoying each others company. (when did you ever get a subway sandwich, taco bell taco, mcdonalds burger or a KFC two piece meal that looked the same as the ad?) i'm always amazed that people will line up at subway when there is a mom and pop place two blocks away that will make your sandwhich from scratch and and charge you less than the chain. i think it has something to do with lemmings.

Damn, sorry to hear that klg19.. I am going in two weeks, I will heading to provence where we have a house. I am hoping that things haven't changed there and they are still McD free.
