I see "organic" potatoes at the grocery store. McDonald's could try selling "organic" fries, free from all poison. Even with a price increase, some customers would like that option.

I agree. However, Organic foods require no contact with anything possibly containing pesticides.

In other words, the whole kitchen has to be organic or none of it technically is.

I have been considering how one might do with an all-organic fast food restaurant and my conclusion is that it would be ridiculously profitable.

Firstly, only the price of the ingredients would increase markedly. Everything else, the staff salaries, rent, equipment, etc. would obviously cost the same. Now a restaurant's costs are not mainly food, they are mainly this other stuff.

So say your food costs double what other restaurants pay, and you (obviously) advertise as ALL-ORGANIC. People will expect to pay at least a 50% premium over the crappy version, but the total cost would not be nearly 50% higher. End result: much greater profits.

Interesting business idea.
