Nutritional or Not, It's Still a Happy Meal
From ABC News
"CHICAGO Oct 25, 2005 — Make it a burger, fries and nutritional information to go. Seeking to counter charges that its food is unhealthy and contributes to obesity, McDonald's Corp. announced Tuesday that it will display nutrition facts on the packaging for most of its menu items next year.
Patrons of the world's largest restaurant company will be able to learn the amount of calories and fat, among other information, in a McDonald's product by looking at the wrapper instead of having to go to its Web site or ask for it at the counter. "
This may be a "whatever" response from Mickey D's. Who decides the family is visiting the golden arches anyway? Not the parents. McDonald's is such a marketing genius they could put, "Eat and you'll die" on their packages and kids would still cry till mommy took them for a Happy Meal.
Just a thought

I'd be happy to have my last meal be a delicious number 2 with an extra cheeseburger....not really haha. But you're right, no amount of nutritional warning would be enough to quell the hunger for fun and greasy food held by children, especially in America.
Nick,
I think I would be surprised if you did not request a #2 with an extra cheeseburger. It would be the source of a lot of fond memories of conversations after football and baseball games, win or lose.
Well, I don’t know about McDonald’s but I crave a Junior Whopper w/cheese about 6 times a year. I don’t want them to tell me how bad it is – I already know – and I do it anyway. :)
