McDonald’s Shocking Move Exposes Kamala’s Dark Secret!

Lamb Weston, which provides fries to major fast-food chains like McDonald’s, has felt the brunt of declining consumer demand and rising costs. McDonald’s alone represents 13% of Lamb Weston’s business, making this a massive blow for the supplier. The president and CEO of Lamb Weston, Tom Werner, didn’t mince words when he explained the reason for the closure.

“Restaurant traffic and frozen potato demand, relative to supply, continue to be soft, and we believe it will remain soft through the remainder of fiscal 2025,” Werner said during an earnings call. This closure, aimed at cost-cutting in a struggling economy, reveals the deep problems affecting even major players in the fast-food industry.

Werner added that these moves are intended to better manage production rates and mitigate the imbalance between supply and demand in North America. As part of their cost-saving strategy, Lamb Weston will also be reducing headcount and eliminating unfilled job positions.

Despite Harris and the Biden administration’s efforts to paint a rosy picture of the economy, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Inflation has squeezed the wallets of everyday Americans, and the fast-food industry—once a bastion of affordable dining—is feeling the squeeze.

While Lamb Weston’s closure might not immediately impact French fry supplies at your local fast-food joint, it is a symptom of a larger issue. The company’s decision to shutter the Washington plant is a direct result of weakening demand in the fast-food sector. Sales are slowing as consumers rethink their spending habits amidst rising costs.

A LendingTree survey conducted in May revealed that 80% of adults now view fast food as a luxury purchase due to rising prices. This staggering statistic highlights just how much inflation has impacted everyday choices for Americans. Fast food chains, traditionally seen as budget-friendly, are being forced to raise prices. McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger stated earlier this year that the chain’s prices have gone up by a whopping 40% since 2019.

In response, McDonald’s rolled out a $5 meal deal to entice cash-strapped customers. Wendy’s and Burger King followed suit with similar deals, but these efforts did little to reverse the downward trend for Lamb Weston. As Werner pointed out, many of these promotions have consumers “trading down from a medium fry to a small fry,” a clear indication of the ongoing financial strain on customers.

The effects of Harris’ economic policies are clear: consumers are cutting back, even on fast food, once considered an inexpensive and convenient option. Now, even grabbing a quick meal on the go has become an unaffordable luxury for many Americans. Lamb Weston noted that restaurant traffic fell by 2% last quarter, underscoring the broader trend of reduced spending in the industry.

While the Biden-Harris administration continues to tout the economy’s supposed strength, the truth is that the American people are feeling the pinch in their daily lives. From the grocery store to the drive-thru, rising prices and shrinking paychecks have made it harder for families to make ends meet.

Kamala Harris’ involvement in shaping the current economic situation, especially through her support of the massive spending in the American Rescue Plan, is now coming back to haunt her. The closure of Lamb Weston’s Connell plant is just the latest example of how far removed Washington’s narrative is from the reality Americans face every day.
