“CEO Steve Easterbrook, who stepped into the top spot March 1, has said he want to turn the chain into a “modern, progressive burger company.”

How long before mcdonalds goes vegan?

McVeggie burgers.

Corporate suicide by kale. How on earth could McDonald's leadership be so determined to destroy their company? Unless, of course, they are using the WH management model and Mooch is making suggestions?

Hamburgers, fries and milk shakes have kept them afloat for decades. Kale????

Can’t speak for anyone but myself...

but when I go to McD, I don’t want kale, I want a HAMBURGER.

Served fresh and hot, by employees that speak English as their FIRST language, and have a good, customer-service-oriented attitude.

Oh, and fries fried in LARD. None of that politically correct kaleseed oil or whatever they’re using these days to appease the liberal whiners.

Instead of getting back to basics, they accelerate a death spiral.

Kale will fit in really well with their hip hop/ghetto marketing. Especially if they grind up and serve it with some rolling papers.

The test comes as McDonald’s Corp. works to shake its junk food image, with sales at established U.S. locations declining for six straight quarters.
Look for them to tank even more.

Ray Kroc is spinning in his grave.

McDonald’s became popular precisely because of cheap, tasty food.

They should work to make their regular hamburger taste better. It still tastes as though it still has soy in it.

And I would like to not have the mandatory catsup and freeze-dried onions on it.

Why go to McDonald's when In and Out is just down the street?

The announcement yesterday - when Mickey D’s said the were bringing back the hamburgler - I first read as bringing back the hamBURger.

And my initial thought was, “About time.”

McDonald’s executive board obviously have a problem with pattern recognition. Maybe they ought to be retrained with the B.F. Skinner model.

Put them in a box, and if they choose the right lever, the stock price of McDonald’s goes up and they get a food pellet. If they choose the wrong lever which makes the stock go lower, then they get an unpleasant electrical shock.

It might take them a few months to a year to realize that their customers do not want to eat kale, and drink tofu and bean sprout smoothies. If they are slow learners, increase the voltage.

Welcome To McDonald’s, Would You Like Kale With That?

So McDonald's is telling America; "Let them eat kale." I sense a Wookie in the woodwork.

Guess I’ll be the first to say it: I don’t even know what kale is.
