Fast Food Conspiracy: What Happened to My Quarter Pounder?!

Published: 11 years ago

A semi-humorous inquiry regarding the recent perceived changes in the quality and nature of an American institution, the fast food hamburger. It seems that the large national chains have radically altered the beef patties in the vaunted McDonald's Quarter Pounder and Wendy's Single (Double and Triple too). Is this my imagination? I think NOT! Is it a conspiracy? Did Big Brother (Barack) or Big Sista (Michelle) bring pressure to bear on these former titans of free enterprise to deprive us of the fat and sodium we crave?

There is a solution! Smaller local burger joints seem to have flown under the radar. Perhaps the dollars and cents just don't make it worth the while of the Illuminati, or New World Order, to include them in their grand scheme of world burger domination. As for me, I can still get a great, flavorful burger, dripping with fat, that doesn't need salt added, at my local Penguin Point in Auburn, IN.

Please comment with any information you might have to shed light on this conspiracy, or to share your favorite bootleg burger joint.
