Would Kids like it if it was called an UNhappy meal?
Several days ago, my family and i happened to be eating a McDonalds in a drive through. (Obviously, there has to be a capital D! Who wouldnt put THAT there? Stupid... And what the fuck is the point in going to a drive through, and then taking your food (and i use that word VERY loosly) to a car parking space and eating?) We parked up, and i looked left and right. You know what i saw?
Nearly twenty cars full of people staring straight ahead, their lower jaws sowly moving up and down, and a look in their eyes reminiscent of cows chewing cud. All i could think to ask myself is whether sitting in a drive through has replaced the good old idea of having a Sunday lunch. Lets be honest, the sunday roast (as it is known in parts far away from where i live) is where the family get together, talk, enjoy a home cooked meal (Which even if done badly tastes better than that shit McDonalds give you) and sit around a table and talk. They spend time together. They socialise. Can you do that in a McDonalds car park? Well, technically speaking yes you can if you happen to be buying drugs, but thats not the point here.
I think society has lost the idea that a family is more than some people living in a house who happen to be related to each other.
It's more than people going to McDonalds and chewing reconstituted shit that, if seen in its original form, you wouldnt feed to your dog.
We need to replace McDonalds drive throughs with sunday roasts. We need tea on the table at a certain time, and everybody there. Not cows chewing cud.
I don't really know how to get across what im trying to say here, except that we have to be more than a set of cows in cars, chewing, and chewing, and chewing...
