Mcdonalds & The Importance Of Olive Oil

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


If you want to talk about fast food establishments, as a whole, it's easy to imagine that McDonalds will come up in conversation. It's easy to see why, since this particular restaurant is often viewed as one of the most popular. It seems like just about every city in the United States has, at least, one McDonalds restaurant to go to. Of course, one may not think of olive oil, in tandem with this establishment. For details regarding what this is all about, read on.

As an article on the Olive Oil Times detailed, McDonald's new artisan grilled chicken sandwich is one to recognize. One of the reasons for this is that, according to McDonald's themselves, this particular sandwich is cooked with a mixture of canola and olive oil. In addition, food lovers should know that this utilizes only 12 ingredients, down from the 18 that is usually associated with McDonald's sandwiches. These are just a few factors that should draw the attention of culinary enthusiasts across the board.

One of the main reasons why the artisan grilled chicken sandwich was added, according to McDonald's, was a high consumer demand. Specifically, people wanted products with fewer ingredients, allowing for simpler compositions with their food. You have to keep in mind that many ingredients typically seen in McDonald's products are ones which most people are familiar with. By cutting these down via new recipes, a greater level of confidence is had by consumers.

It's also worth noting that many people have been looking to healthier alternatives. While McDonald's is fine in a pinch, the truth of the matter is that more and more people desire options which are easier on their bodies. This is one of the many reasons why Panera Bread and the like have become so popular. McDonald's, in order to recover their lost sales, have to make healthier choices. The aforementioned sandwich may be the start of this.

Does this necessarily mean that more people will immediately turn to McDonald's? In my view, damage has already been done, since so many people associate the company with cholesterol-laden food than anything else. With that said, I think that there is still a desire, by McDonald's consumers, for healthier options they can take advantage of. It's just a matter of how far the company goes to ensure that these options are available to the masses.
