McNasty

The one thing that really stood out to me in this article was the happy meal for adults. The "Go Active" meals were very popular at one McDonalds at the town next to me back home. I actually got one of those meals, and still in fact have one of those pedometers that come in the meal. Just like he said, it was used just like a toy in the Happy Meal. I played with it while I was eating, wore it home, then maybe used it once or twice after that, and then forgot about it. It has been collecting dust ever since, which was about two years ago. It was a good idea, but it didn't quite stick. All of what Crane says in this article is very true, and there is atleast one thing that absolutely everyone can relate to, probably even two or three things.

The most convincing piece for me was the information about the McDonald's Crispy California Cobb Salad. The fact that with all the additives and the crutons and the dressing, the salad has almost as many calories as a quarter pounder and fries. The sad part is that it has more grams of fat then the quarter pounder and fries. The sad truth is that the so called healthy options are not really healthy at all, in fact some of the "healthy" options actually have more calories and grams of fat then the not so healthy options. If people are trying to lose weight and manage their diet, fast food places are not the options. The healthy parts of the menu are still high in fats and calories and I think if people read this piece they would realize what fast food is actually doing to their bodies and try and find real healthy food that are low in calories and fats that don't come from a fast food restaurant.
