No no. It's not that we can't afford it. It's the fact that food quality has diminished, portions have been shrunk, and now prices have risen to that of a sit down resteraunt.

So logically speaking it makes more sense to get bigger portions, of better quality food, for the same price.

Mcdonslds has priced themselves out of their own market. Stop trying to blame consumers for not buying, and start selling something consumers want to buy.

I don't know if I can agree that McDonald's reduced their portions or if that would be bad if they did.

The problem is more that the price doesn't make sense for the amount and quality of the food.

Yeah I'm not commenting on anything but portion. The portions aren't small any time I've ever been there.
