Never Forget The McLobster, McDonald’s Most Disgusting Menu Item

January 7, 2024 International, International News, Mid Atlantic, National, New England

McDonald’s is home to a wide array of limited menu items dating back to the chain’s early origins in San Bernardino, California, in 1940. Despite the franchise relying primarily on sales of burgers and fries to bring in the billions, other products, such as the McLobster, have rotated through the menu to mixed consumer opinions. As explained by the item’s first television ad slot filmed in 1993, the McLobster was made with 100 percent real Atlantic lobster and served fresh. Despite this, consumers of the fast-food giant held reservations about the fishy, unappetizing promotion. Video, more, >>click to read<< 08:46

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
