Ironically, even though the European McDonalds restaurants offer the healthier fare, the New York Times reported that “French fries and cheeseburgers remain the best sellers on the menu.” This aligns with something that I remember reading some time ago, that noted that the mere presence of healthy items on the menu makes people feel healthier…but they still tend to go for the non-healthy stuff. It stands to reason – Mom takes the kid to McDonalds because you can get applesauce or whatever with the kid meal, and then the kid throws a tantrum until the meal includes fries instead.

Another interesting thing mentioned in the Times article was iPod rentals. I'm trying to imagine what a McPod would be like…
