American Idol or Icon?
Is there anyone in America (the world? Mars??) who doesn't know what these are attached to? I can't imagine. The Golden Arches are a slice of Americana (albeit a deep-fried, salty, heart-attack-waiting slice...).
"Idol" is defined as an object worshiped or an object of extreme devotion. Dieting in our country has become a $65 BILLION industry; with over 60% of Americans suffering from obesity or overweight, it's clear food is worshiped and we're devoted to our appetites. I guess when Ray Kroc said, "We take the hamburger business more seriously than anyone else" he meant it. Doubtful he could've anticipated the repercussions....
