Fast-food wars: McDonald's, Burger King and Wendy's Value Meals

There's a war simmering in the fast-food world and McDonald's is getting the upper-hand against Wendy's and Burger King. McDonald's is gearing up to transform their "value platform", meaning they will offer new promotions.

They have already introduce "McPick 2" to replace Dollar Menu, this is a limited-time offer that will let customers choose two of the following items for $2: a McDouble, a McChicken, small fries, and mozzarella sticks.

The offering has gained the necessary votes from franchisees to make it onto the national menu, and will be available in U.S. restaurants for a 5-week run starting January 4, 2016. After that, McDonald's said it may change the details of the offering, but that it plans to stick with the "McPick" concept and name.

They have also made breakfast items like Egg McMuffins available throughout the day.

In response to McDonald's offer, Burger King and Wendy's unleash more promotions, and both chains saw increase in sales.

Burger King offers a 10-nugget deal for $1.49. It's also offering coupons for other food items on its mobile app. While, Wendy's promo is "4 for $4" meal that includes a junior bacon cheeseburger, 4 chicken nuggets, small fries, and a drink for only $4.

McDonald's says that 25% of their customers are looking for value meals.

The cheapest, most nutritious food in human History: McDonald's McDouble

Since the McDonald's McDouble is the cheapest, most nutritious and bountiful food that has ever existed in human history, we can make it our daily staple. I don't think so, everyone know how unhealthy fast food are.

However Kyle Smith of New York Post think otherwise, he lauded the McDouble as the "unsung wonders of modern life" because it's cheap and healthy and available in 14,000 locations in the US and just cost $1.

He also said that people who eat out tend to eat less at home that day in partial compensation; the net gain, according to a 2008 study out of Berkeley and Northwestern, is only about 24 calories a day.

To those who are outrage on McDouble supremacy Smith said, "they are mostly "from the usual coalition of class snobs, locavore foodies and militant anti-corporate types" and against the poor. He is right on this though.

"Junk food costs as little as $1.76 per 1,000 calories, whereas fresh veggies and the like cost more than 10 times as much, found a 2007 University of Washington survey for the Journal of the American Dietetic Association. A 2,000-calorie day of meals would, if you stuck strictly to the good-for-you stuff, cost $36.32, said the study’s lead author, Adam Drewnowski."

Realistically, ordinary family cannot afford to buy organic food and don't have time to prepare home cooked meals. This is the reason the masses consume fast food like McDouble. However, we need to face the facts that it is not healthy. It contains 390 calories, 9 grams of fat, 8 grams of saturated fat and 1 gram of trans fat.
