It's my perception that McDonald's has been struggling for 10+ years because of its inability or unwillingness to modify its unhealthy menu. Shake Shack traffics in the same unhealthy fare, but it's a go go stock.

I don't even care if it's healthy, how about coming out with a premium patty instead of dressing up the same core set of ingredients in ever stranger permutations at ever increasing prices thinking eventually they'll find something people will like - people are voting with their feet for what they want, better tasting food with not that much higher prices!

it is my perception that McDonald's has been struggling because it can't decide what kind of menu it wants. It's not healthy enough to be healthy, and it's not unhealthy enough to be delicious. The patties are dry and flavourless because they're so devoid of fat. yet it's not low-fat enough to fit in most people's diets, while the high sodium content (across everything from burgers to fries to drinks) is also problematic. A good patty needs to be juicy, dripping with grease that soaks through a thick slice of bread and some more that you can sop up with fries already rich with tallow. mcdonald's is not that. few burgers are that.

Its because healthy people don't goto McDonald's for food, they go to better restaurants like Panera Bread and Corner Bakery. McDonald's should go back to a simpler menu and stop trying to please the critics. Are are trying so hard to please everyone and not doing a great job at it. I mean you go into an In-N-Out and you only have a few choices but they are always busy and the employees are smiling and working hard. Burger isn't too bad for the price either. Now as for me I prefer Smash Burger, followed by Five Guys and In-N-Out.

  I wouldn't exactly consider Panera bread better than McDonald's. Panera's food is incredibly bland.
