Isn't that what being a restaurant is all about? Giving people what
they want? Which in our case (the U.S) is most often not having to cook
it ourselves. Yes, we have some amazing restaurants that are all about
their food quality, prep, taste and appearance but since the majority
of our restaurants are restaurants of convienance, it's makes perfectly
good sense that chains and franchises do whatever they can to meet that
demand.
Most Americans want their food fast, edible and cheap... most don't
care about the "dining experience" or "quality of ingredients"- if they
did, half of them wouldn't eat their breakfast in the car on the way to
work or feed their children "Happy Meals" consisting of fat, calories
and of no nutritional value.

burgers in town!! Whatchoo' think's fer dinner!?!" kev
