March 10th, 2003: Has Paul Sold Out???

McDonald's announces their partnership with Newman's Own for their new line of salad dressings. What could be a bigger symbol of conspicuous consumption than McDonalds? I have my doubts about this one, granted, bringing Newman's Own products to the masses will do great things for the charities involved. Paul said at the press announcement: �We are delighted that McDonald's has chosen Newman's Own to be the exclusive supplier of salad dressings for their premium salads � the only all-natural dressings in the quick service restaurant industry, McDonald's tosses the greens � we toss in the dressings � and what a delicious reciprocal trade agreement. More profits for us and --VOILA --charity will be the great beneficiary.� And then he helped serve up Big Macs and Quarter Pounders with Ronald.
