Default Maybe they should rename the "Happy Meal"?

Say goodbye to choice. I guess it's good for conditioning the kids for life under the Obama administration.

And this is a bad thing? It's not like they are saying they won't sell fries to anyone under the age of 10. I think it's both a great business move by McDonalds and as well as the right thing to do.

LOL - Joey, your Obama hate has gone beyond the absurd, buddy

This is a great deal by McDonalds. Good PR, good for health. Instead of fries or apples with carmel sugar, kids get half fries and plain apples. Oh, the horror of better nutrition and two-for-one deals! They took away choice by giving kids both! Oh, noes!

wouldn't it be more prudent and economically efficient to stop sending food stamps to the obese?

Or at a minimum requiring McDonald's to have a scale and target, the obese?

Freedom? LOL

joey's the one that decided a business decision to offer healthier choices was post worthy because of his fear there's a swastica flying over the white house.

most of us just rolled our eyes but what a surpise you felt obligated to join the fight for the right to be a fat diabetic 8 year old.

next thing you know they'll want to make drunk posting illegal.

How else are we going to maintain our population of fat diabetic welfare recipients?

IF the people want more apples instead of fries, the article cited would reflect statistics other than "only 11% selected apples instead of fries even though 88% of them knew they had a choice." This is influenced by the first lady's personal opinion and some sort of pressure from the White House.

What will happen now is people will just order a la carte, or, if they really want that toy for their kids, they'll order a Happy Meal AND a large fries.

It wasn't that healthier choices (apple slices) were offered, they were forced. I wasn't fighting for the rights of the fat diabetic 8 year old but rather the fit healthy 8 year old.

As if assuming the obese 8 year old's parents don't have a brain.

I don't need or want a gov. babysitter. Of course I also think parent(s) should raise a child not a village and certainly not the government. But I may be in the minority?

Show us the stats to back up fat 8 year olds that are on welfare. FYI the racisim oozes out of your posts Joey... You are not blatant as Nascar in your hatred but your hatred comes across nevertheless. You should focus that on those that are really the problem. Mostly white 50-60 year olds in positions of power down in Washington and the board rooms across the country. They are laughing as they use you as a pawn to fight the Liberal v Conservative battles that will keep you focused anywhere other than where the problem is as they fuk you every which way till Tuesday.

Geebus, save us from the rightously indignant that don't even read the articles they get pissed about.

Fries were not taken out of Happy Meals.
Fries are still there.
Apples were ADDED to the fries.

Now McDonalds gives both fries and apples out in a Happy Meal.
