Prizes for fries

Re: “Large-size fries back on the menu”, (Business, Dec 31).

This article gives us a new standard to measure the economic status of any nation. No longer will economists have to analyse reams of data to figure out where a nation stands in the world economy. All they’ll have to do is visit their nearest McDonald’s outlet and examine the size of its french fries.

“Show me the size of your fries.” It would make a great motto for economists.
