I think if the response to the new McD menu is overwhelmingly positive (i.e., McDonald's makes money off it) then they will try it here as well. One thing I picked up from reading FFN is that McDonald's is neither good nor evil, they just go where the money is. If there's money in making people fat and unhealthy, then that's what they do. If there's money in recycling, reducing packaging, and minimizing the risk of mad cow disease in their beef, then that too is what they do. They were able to use their immense buying power to make their cattle suppliers certify the feed when government regulations could not.
