McDonald’s cooks up new Indian breakfast menu including masala dosa burgers

Well, McDonald's are in posh areas, and rather expensive even for Indian
middle class who by now have LPG and electric cooking appliances at home.

But the general point is, kitchen is outsourced. Or, as Anil considers it,
"Working poor don't have the luxury of cooking three meals a day at home."

Even at the Bottom of the Pyramid, if not more so. This is what makes
"community kitchens" and "mobile kitchens" attractive interventions for
NGOs who work with the poor. Most of them have given up on "better biomass
stoves for the poor."

Hence the opportunity for cooking and selling aDALY-dosa burgers to the
glib and gullible partners of GACC - the Global Alliance of Confidence
Cooks. (I'd say Confidence Men, which won't fit all.)

Commercializing cooking - eating out, buying cooked foods - is an ancient
tradition, not that WHO and EPA would care, because that would deprive them
of acting careers in morality plays.

It is necessary to misunderstand poverty in order to get rich.
