McCold Fries, with a side of Earth Destruction, please

My friends Anju and Stephen, whose superhero bhangra DJ personas are DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid, have been visiting India for about a month now, and Stephen’s been sending the most amazing emails. Here’s part of one, reprinted with permission:
“I’m in New Delhi now. It’s been several days and the time passes very fast here. Because I haven’t been doing too much in the way of sightseeing (excepting the Lodi Gardens and Jantar Mantar), the city seems like one endless parade of varied shopping districts. Being aware of everything that either a) exists only in India or b) is so much cheaper than in America or c) both unavailable otherwise and incredibly cheap, I feel a great compulsion to pick things up before my return to the states. Instead of Spiritual India it is more like Consumer India.
I’ve even been to McDonalds twice–which, as Anju first stated, is 2 more times than in the last decade. They have a separate all-veg kitchen, and everything on the menu is either highlighted red for non-veg or green for veg. “Veg” and “Non-Veg” are the universal terms for describing your diet in India. The McAloo Tikki Burger is gross and only the McVeggie Burger with cheese is tolerable. The McDonalds’ corporate death machine has now acquired a couple more of my dollars in the service of destroying the earth. The fries weren’t even that warm.
P.S. The first time was for curiosity (Punjabis in turbans behind the counter). The second time was because Anju’s cousins wanted to eat there.”
