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.

What about the heavier emphasis that people have placed on healthier food options? After all, there are quite a few companies which specialize in these products, Panera Bread and even Starbucks being some of the most common examples. They have become increasingly sensitive to the positive upswing of health, as it relates to the food that people eat. As a result, it wouldn't be unwise to consider that McDonald's has lost a chunk of its consumer base to those companies.

I am uncertain if this type of menu change will lead to long-term positive outcomes for McDonald's. After all, so many people associate this name with cholesterol and fatty foods, which doesn't exactly do it favors on the health front. Even if McDonald's continually adds new menu items, time will only tell if these will result in any positive. Nonetheless, the fact that attempts are being made, such as with the artisan grilled chicken sandwich, is worth noting all the same.
