Balance of Food

I could have written about which is the best diet. Atkins apparently beat out the others, but then again, I'm not a fan of any of them. Each person works differently; some plans will work for some and not for others. I'd rather write about McD's getting into the premium burger realm. For right now, the 1/3 lb. Angus burger is only available in Southern California, but the experts seem to think it won't stay there too long. There was a time when a Quarter Pounder was a huge burger, yes a long time ago. Most places have 1/2 lb. burgers as their regular staple. So a 1.33 oz. increase seems like a good idea. Ironically, 4 oz. is probably the ideal size for a serving portion, but in the United States, 4 oz. looks tiny. The regular hamburgers at McD's are 1/10 lb., and that used to be the standard. The Angus is an improvement, but then again, Burger King jumped into the foray long ago. I like Angus beef, but I wonder how much of an improvement really goes into "fast food burgers." Of course, if you pick the Atkins diet, you can enjoy that new 1/3 lb. Angus burger, just hold the bun.
