What I would be interested in Bryan, would be you and your team going grocerie shopping and showing people what you would buy, also for people with different budgets, things that also may not be 100% perfect but you still would recommend them. This may be a stupid idea to most, but there are many people out there who really just don't know any better.

I was homeless and went to McDonalds asking if they had any left over food as I had nothing to eat. The employee handed me a meal, then the manager called the cops after I had sat down and eaten the meal in the McDonalds. I had to go to court and it was instantly thrown out, partially because they just gave me a free meal and accused me of stealing, also partially because the person from McDonalds didn't show up to court. I am still banned from every McDonalds in my home town for this. I am still grateful for this, what a disgusting and horrible company.

The taste of McDonald's has changed since I was a child. I don't enjoy it anymore.
