Frankenfoods are Winning

In the financial news, a certain notorious fast food giant has increased
sales in the last 13 months by 8% in the US, and even more in their overseas
operations.

I predict that in a few years, when statistics come out, they will show that
the obesity epidemic got worse in 2007.

So, as a long term financial investment, should you buy stocks of companies
that sell food with trans fats, or stocks of health related companies that
profit from illness?

Many people already do own them....owning them doesn't force anyone to use
such products. In fact, is poeple quit buying them those products, then...

Are you really worried about being sued?

Today McDonalds announced revenue in November was up 8.2 percent. In the
US it wasn't quite as high.

"U.S. same-store sales, or sales at stores open at least 13 months, rose
4.4%. McDonald's attributed the gain to its premium coffee offerings and
breakfast selections, as well as its dollar menu."

I don't quite know why McDonald's would be notorious. Certainly the
Carls Jr/Hardees would be more upsetting to the healthy eating crowd with
an 1100 calorie 66 gms of fat burger. I guess it is due to the idiot
who got famous for "supersize me"

I certainly would be a contributor there...eating their premium coffee,
sausages, and salads (I use my own dressing). Nothing else they sell is of
interest to me.

McD is the more note-worthy target, methinks.

In the wrong hands, sausages and scrambled eggs can be Frankenfoods too.

There was a pre-cooked mini sausage I used to buy for my dog, until they
added MSG. It is frustrating to have to read the same ingredient labels
over and over watching for the creative changes.

Size. McDonalds market is more than all of the other burger
chains put together.

At least they come as a lettuce wrap. Chuckle.

You mean size makes them a target....otherwise, they are no worse than any
of the others.
In fact, in some ways, they are better from a LCing POV.
