For far too long, innocent McDonalds customers have struggled to get their daily intake of fat from supersized fries. 

Today, they can rejoice. The struggle is over. All-you-can eat fries are (temporarily) coming to the cultural capital of the world, St. Joseph, Missouri

On Tuesday, the St. Joseph location announced that they'd be opening "The McDonalds of the future" this July, complete with all new menu items, customizable burgers and all-you-can-eat fries.

Because nothing says 'future' like cheap infinite streams of saturated fat.  

And yes, there will be table-side service. No longer will miserable, tired customers have to stand on their aching feet to get their fries and milkshakes. All they'll have to do is a press a button at a digital kiosk and voila! A server will arrive.

To clarify: All you'll need to do to get endless fries is press a button, and someone will (basically) bring it to your mouth.

Never has gluttony looked so glamorous. 

While some McDonalds have been trying to take the franchise in healthier directions, this location appears to have stuck to the basics. Fat, fries, sitting. Joy. 

The restaurant will be approximately 6,500 square feet large, including a private play room. 

Take a look at the plans for more McDonalds of the future below.
