The Whole Wheat Big Mac

Coming on the heels of Canada's Big Mac Snack Wrap, which looks a little bit iffy, is a Big Mac with a whole wheat bun.

The French are behind this merde. From French fast-food blogger Christian Thomas (who blogs bilingually) about what is officially known as the Big Mac au Pain Complet:

On paper, it has the same characteristics as the Big Mac, same sauce, pickles, cheese, the only change is at the level of the buns are whole wheat bread. The Big Mac has never changed to my knowledge, this is a mini revolution but still remain honest in order to please the more the bread feels it so much?

Thomas says there's hardly a difference—except that it tastes a bit less salty. (There's 18 percent less salt.) A healthy Big Mac? That'll be the jour.
