To most people, a fresh cooked burger is more satisfying than the previously frozen one. Present day McDonald's has taken all of these complaints and health hazards into consideration and has been working on ways to make their menu appreciated, health and taste wise. The size of french fries has been reduced, and fruits, milks, and nuts have been added to the happy meals. Various types of salads and yogurts have also been added to the menu. Ray Kroc has left his mark on the company by showing them that change is always welcome. In order to stay relevant and keep customers happy you must listen to the negatives and make them positives. Modern McDonald's is evolving to the people's demands while also keeping their wallets in mind.
With McDonald's introduction of mass production, came the reputation of unhealthy and poorly made food. The way the food has been prepared has definitely changed since the early 20th century, but that is due to increased expectations and competition. The drive-thru really pushed hamburger joints like McDonalds to convert to mass production, in order for the food to be prepared quickly, and to keep their customers happy. During the mass production process, the foods are completely cooked and then frozen in preparation for bulks to be sent out to restaurants across the globe. Once the frozen goods arrive at their destination, the food is then reheated and prepared for consumption.
Vacuum packing, improved preservative, deep freezing, artificial flavors and microwaves were all new ways of making and restoring food. All these new ways of producing food led to a greater variety and more food to be eaten!
