I love having a boss I can joke around with, it definitely makes going to work more fun. On Thursday we spent half the day wasting time online. We were looking up health information on McDonalds.com (did you know a salad, without dressing mind you, has more calories and fat grams than a double cheeseburger, crazy huh?) and he decided to write them a letter, so we did. Here's our letter:
Why doesn't McDonald's have real healthy food? Veggieburgers, salads that are truly low fat, and other low calorie fresh food. As it is now your food makes me and my family ill because we aren't used to eating fast food. Taco Bell is worse. I can't belive there isn't a market for food that isn't bad for you. I'm not saying get rid of big macs. But a veggieburger big mac option would be great.

Hello Thomas:
Thank you for your interest in McDonald's and for taking the time to write
regarding our menu.
At McDonald's, we're sensitive to the special dietary requests of our customers. We're always reviewing our menu, developing new products and searching for ways to satisfy the many tastes of the 47 million customers we serve each day. Ultimately, however, it's our customers who choose what's on our menu. And, we'll continue to offer those products that are most popular with a majority of our customers. Since the majority of people are idiots, we will continue to serve utter garbage.
Please know that we have tested several vegetarian menu options in different parts of the United States and, at this time, have chosen not to offer them on our national menu because the hicks in the south do not like hippie food. We will, however, continue to look at these products and make decisions that make sense from a customer interest and sales perspective. Again, we will continue to play to the lowest common denominator.
Again, thank you for contacting McDonald's. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.

I wonder if that's real or not. My boss would make that up just to fuck with me. Either way its funny.
