NEW YORK ( – McDonald's Corp. is adding apples to all its Happy Meals and launching a nutrition-focused mobile phone app as part of a broader health push. The changes underscore how the restaurant industry is reacting to the demands of customers and regulators who blame it for health ills ranging from childhood obesity to diabetes. Among other changes in McDonald's new program… McDonald's has worked to paint itself as a healthy, hip place to eat, offering wireless access in restaurants and introducing smoothies and oatmeal, moves that other fast-food companies are now trying to replicate. For Happy Meals, U.S. customers can already choose between apples or fries. But only about 11 percent of customers were ordering apples, the restaurant said. So by the beginning of next year, McDonald's will instead include a half-order of apples and a half-order of fries. Customers can get all fries or all apples if they ask.
Listen, I retired from eating at McDonalds once I graduated from high school. Like I just straight dropped my fast food urges instantly. Prob because I OD'd on a fresh 20 piece of McNuggets every Saturday night in my teen years. Anyway, If I must hearken back to my youth, no kid in there right mind wants to eat a fuckin apple with his or her happy meal. I'm no Gordon Ramesy but Apples and McNuggets dont fuckin go together. When you get Nuggets all you want with it is some god dam sweet & sour sauce and french fries to go along with that bullshit toy they give you. None of this "lets eat healthy shit." And who gives a fuck about this cell phone app? No parent is going to pull up the nurtirion facts of a fuckin happy meal as they go through the drive through while Billy and Suzzy are pissing and moaning in the backseat about how hungry they are.
Your playing out of your league Mc D's. No one going to the golden arches is trying to eat healthy. Kids are getting fat beacuse their parents are sticking them on ritalin and putting them in front of video games all afternoon. Not because kids had to eat french fries instead of apples all these years with their happy meals.
"McDonald's has worked to paint itself as a healthy, hip place to eat." Are they fuckin serious with this shit?
