There is a second factor.
McDonalds is seen as unhealthy fast food relative to other fast foods (subway etc..) To combat this, they introduced a 'healthy' menu that makes people think mcdonalds isn't that unhealthy, they have salads and healthy options after all, so they're more likely to go in the first place.
Once they get there, they'll order what they want, which isn't salad in the first place.
- bluGill 9y agoMcDonalds introduced their first salads many years before subway became a national chain. Of course current competition is a good reason to keep them, but it clearly can't be cited for the initial decision.
- bryanlarsen 9y agoMcDonald's first introduced salads in 1985, but their modern salads were introduced in 2005. Subway started franchising in 1968, started wide expansion in 1974, was on both coasts by 1978 and was inter-continental by 1984.
