!Food Flash! McDonald’s Forces Fresh Fruit And Vegetables On World’s Children

!Food Flash!

“But I don’t wanna live to become a teenager!”

Beginning September 2011 McDonald’s Happy Meals will become healthier. The boxed meal with a toy, marketed to children, will feature less than half the current amount of french fries and the addition of fresh produce.

Depending on the region and season, fresh apples, carrots, pineapple chunks, and oranges will give the Happy Meal a healthy twist. In addition, the meal will not come with the caramel dipping sauce that was previously included with a fruit option.

I can almost hear the collective cries of the world’s children. Rumours are running wild that McDonald’s will soon be changing the famous meals name to Sad Meal and substituting the toy with a rotating selection of math quizzes, spankings, and dog turds. What’s next, cough syrup and moose urine instead of soda pop?
