Who said anything about organic or better for you? Not me, you keep obsessing on that, I’m simply pointing out that the product does indeed clearly taste better than the normal fast food competition.
If somebody here is deceived it’s you. You’ve deceived yourself about why people eat at these places. Most of them say absolutely NOTHING about organic. The big claim to fame most of them have is a lack of freezers and a shorter supply chain with more local control to the franchise holders. This results in fresher ingredients, selected to please local clients.
If you’re going to be saddened at anything be saddened by you. Because you’re the only one making those arguments you think are so dumb. Nobody else here has mentioned organic, or cancer, or any of that other stuff. It’s all strawmen from you, so if you think those arguments are sad, stop making them. Meanwhile, we’re going to our fast casual places and enjoying them.
Oh well, on to the next trainwreck.
No ! It tastes better in your mind because you have been brainwashed into thinking it tastes better. I am beginning to think this thread was started by a franchisee of Schlotzky’s or Panera, or Five Guys, or one of the others that has popped-up in the past 5 yrs. Your meat at Panera crosses the same grinder, processor, plant that everybody else’s crosses. You’re paying more for the same basic product that winds-up in a fancier setting. If that is your wish and you believe you’re getting better product. Have at it.
It’s the same mind-set that says that Wal-Mart customers are a lower class of consumers. I am a Wal-Mart customer and I also shop at Macy’s from time to time. To suggest my Wal-Mart patronage is an indication of poor taste or lower caste is pure snobbery.
