Just when America’s fast food couldn’t get any better, McDonald’s is once again leaping ahead of the game to serve breakfast all day. Yes, that’s right, 24 hours of your favorite Egg McMuffin and hash browns. When can we expect this great step into our deep fried future? Come one, come all, on October 6 to your nearest McDonald’s (and according to statistics, there’s only one location in the U.S. that is over 100 miles from a McDonald’s).

With over 14,500 restaurants across the nation, it is expected for McDonald’s to increase their sales by 2.5%. This is great for Ronald McDonald and his 1.7 million employees. Is this news too good to be true? This might be so. According to recent research, McDonald’s new plan to serve breakfast all day will raise not only their income, but the price of egg sales in your local grocery store. We’re not talking about your local diner serving fresh-cooked eggs; we’re talking about over 14 thousand franchise businesses serving eggs 24 hours alone in the United States. McDonald's serves over 68 million customers each day in over 118 countries. The production of eggs has already been affected within the recent years due to the bird flu, which accounted for the death of over 48 million eggs. This new change in one of America’s largest businesses is enough alone to knock the market off its line.

At the end of the day, this is America. We’re a nation built on progress and learning things the hard way. Is this change to our guilty pleasure more than a quick leap into the future? I guess we’ll see where McDonald’s is going with this one. From the short lived McRib to 1 AM Egg McMuffins, I’m lovin’ it.
