#3Itsa probably my fault.
I make a supreme home made burger
Got all my friends on them
100% pure grass fed rib eye beef from our local farmers market, minced.
No ground; hoof, horn, hair, teeth, beak, claw or bone to be seen
No cows lungs added to the mix to give the burgers a nice healthy red colour.
YES! adding cows lung to make the burgers a nice bloody red colour to make them more appetising.
No laying waste to millions of acres of prime rain forest just to grow antibiotic cattle fed on ground chicken feed. Then on a ship to transport them all over the world.
Just for a fucking shit thin tasteless burger cobvered in goop because it is tasteless.
Dont get me started on them Nuggets!

#4Why would someone pay the $10 for a Big Mac meal? Before the pandemic the customer-company dynamic made sense - I knew it was terrible quality, but it was quick, relatively tasty, and CHEAP. Now the employees will forget half my order and it will cost 2x what it should. Completely forgetting what their initial proposition was.

#5The price has skyrocketed to basically a mockery. The customer service is a joke too.

In 10 years, $10 Big Mac is going to seem cheap.

The lungs come with the cow.
Delicious whole cows (with lungs) go into one doorway, on trucks. Delicious ground cow (with lungs*, I guess) comes out of another doorway on different trucks.
It's the circle of life.

Jokes aside, lungs can be food too. Lung is a traditional part of haggis, for instance.
* But animal lungs have been illegal to sell for human consumption in the US since 1971: https://slate.com/technology/2023/02/usda-lung-meat-petition...

The absolute price isn't what's important, we know inflation happens. What's new about the situation is that 20 years ago there was a price discount relative to real food to go along with the lower quality. Today, the quality relative to real food is lower than before and the relative price is higher. We don't know if this will be corrected ten years from now.

#10It's the 100% down to the price. As a family of 4 with 2 young kids we more or less get the same thing each time, 2 Combos and 2 Happy Meals. That was pushing $50 NZD last week. Not that shopping at the supermarkets are any better here, $8.50 for a 500g block of butter yesterday because they can't source the cheaper $6.70 blocks.
