Well I guess you can’t fault them for trying, right?  Rumor just hit my block that McDonald’s is going to do the right thing and keep their line of Organic Coffee they have been experimenting with.  That’s the good news.  The bad news is, all you Organic Fans will only be able to get the aforementioned coffee in about 600 stores.  While that sounds like a whole heck of a lot of stores, considering the fact that McDonald’s has an estimated 45,000 stores or more in the United States alone, it’s not like they’re taking a giant risk here.

I personally found it pretty cool that they were branching out and experimenting with more Organic products.  According to reports:

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. (NASDAQ: GMCR) has extended its agreement with McDonald’s USA, LLC to source, roast and package Newman’s Own® Organics Blend coffee for more than 600 McDonald’s restaurants in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Albany, New York.

Right on Mickey D’s for sticking with them.  I just with they’d fully branch out and start introducing and spreading the Organic message all over America.  It’s not a big secret that the Golden Arches actually have a gigantic amount of sway and influence to their loyal customers, and we all know that even more healthy choices on the menu would hurt exactly no one.

As soon as we hear more about them actually branching out, trust me, you’ll be the first to know.  For now, maybe pick a local coffee shop that knows a thing or two about true organic farming.  Just a thought.
