McDonald's has been working for years to try and project a much healthier image to the world, introducing a variety of alternative food choices that are meant to capture the more health-conscious consumer.
They've even tried to implement their healthier approach into their toy selection that they give away in their Happy Meals. Last year, the company included a variety of fitness trackers in their happy meals, those were later withdrawn over concerns allegedly related to skin irritations.
Another idea they've come up with to try and switch things up, at McDonald's in New Zealand, is offering books now with their Happy Meal; as an alternative for those who don't want a toy.
They continue to press for solutions that might help to repair their family-friendly character; trying to establish a more positive reputation.
McDonald's is a place that families have been going to for decades to get a cheap bite to eat, but it's alleged that an increasing number of parents are becoming too embarrassed to bring their kids to the golden arches for a meal.
Market analysts suggest that now Starbucks has surpassed McDonald's in the way of offering an option to them for fast food convenience that doesn't have the same negative associations that McDonald's has; they feel less shame in taking their children there for a bite to eat.
Can apple slices, yogurt, and limited drink choices turn things around?
There does seem to be a growing number of people who are trying to turn away from fast food and they are looking for more healthier options for themselves and their loved ones. But there are still millions who are content going to McDonald's and other fast food locations on a regular basis. Fast food still remains a large part of the average American diet.
Eating healthy is a great goal for someone to have, and it's one that some feel so passionate about that they in-turn feel justified in getting force involved; to try and make other people submit to their version of what healthy eating should be.
Just recently,
Berkeley passed a new law that is going to require restaurant locations there to include only milk or water as a beverage option with their kids meals; the option for soda has been removed.
So for those who want to go to McDonald's to grab a soda with their Happy Meal, they're going to be out of luck.
Lawmakers there say that they are hoping to promote health and nutrition, with force, by moving to attack the soda beverage option that has traditionally been provided with the Happy Meal. And this isn't the first place in the US that has sought to acquire this sort of restriction as to what drinks can be included in the price of a kids meal.
There is a movement across the US to introduce a variety of taxes and restrictions on soda and other drinks that are deemed to be unhealthy, like energy drinks, sweetened coffee, some tea products, sports drinks, and more. The changes have been forcing some shoppers to have to go outside of their normal jurisdiction in order to try and find products to buy where they won't be hit with the tax. The changes have also fueled a legal battle, a number of retailers say that the tax is unconstitutional.
When we try to use force to get other people to eat healthy it can get a little bit tricky. One of the reasons being that the term “healthy” and what is to be considered healthy is a highly contentious subject, opinions vary widely as to what healthy eating should look like.
Aside from that main issue, these restrictions also limit personal freedom. If people are free then they should have the freedom to make their own choices about what they do with their body so long as they aren't hurting anyone else and therefore they should be free to consume whatever food that they wish to.

I think the bigger problem of McDonalds is that they finally need to start offering those burgers that they are selling on the pictures. For years now they are selling these terrible things that are supposed to be burgers.. They look nothing like the pictures at all. Maybe if they increased their food quality, people would have renewed interest. And it would probably be healthier too. There is tons of stuff to be found online where people have found 1 year old McDonalds hamburgers and even after a year there was zero rotting process... tells you something about how natural the ingredients are..

Reminds me that Michael Douglas movie Falling Down haha, so true. I forget how these companies get away with it. I mean the burgers in the photos are real, they are just prepared extremely delicately, unlike in a real store.
Funny thing with this article, I grew up when kids would occasionally get taken to McDs for a treat, it was a really nice place to go. Many kids at that time including myself would even have a birthday party there and everyone had fun, the bill was cheap for the parents too. I guess the 80s were a lot different.....

McDonald's, for good or for bad, serves a very important purpose. Yeah, the food is horrible for a person. I never eat (ok maybe French fries occasionally... no one makes a fry like they do), but for people with very little money: they can eat there. In my very early adulthood a lot of my friends could ONLY afford dollar menu items from places like McDonald's and Taco Bell. I try to educate my child about food and nutrition. He's little so sometimes we'll do McDonald's. Kids like that junk, but we treat it as a treat and not as normal food. As for sodas, parents shouldn't be letting little kids drink them. Unfortunately, a lot of parents do. It wouldn't be a bad idea for milk/juice/water to be options for happy meals. Kids can still get a soda, but it could be extra (which would make parents less likely to give kids soda). I'm torn here between we need freedom and we have an epidemic of obesity in this country.

You know what? I get together and eat lunch with my mom every week and last week for some reason instead of going to a nice place we decided we would just go to McDonald's. It really wasn't bad at all. It was clean. The food is inexpensive and tasted fresh and good. Was it healthy? Of course not. But once in a while eating at McDonald's is OK and it's certainly nothing to be ashamed of.

I really do think McDonald's is a heck of a lot better than the frozen chicken nuggets you get at Walmart. I'd wager every family around here is feeding those nuggets to their children and they're only maybe 50% chicken at best. I guess they can do that from the safety of their own home though so they don't have to be ashamed of it.

If a parent personally believes that what they are feeding their child is unhealthy toxic garbage, then it's understandable that they would feel shame; if they believe their actions are contributing to potential harm for the child. Doesn't matter if it's serving them mcdonalds or serving them sugary cereal and pop tarts every day for breakfast etc.

This is hilarious. I have friends who work in Starbucks and their food offerings are all freeze-dried, processed, and loaded with preservatives. Not that McDonalds and the other fast food chains are serving healthy food, but at least it's cooked at the time and prepared to order.
Not to mention that Starbucks used to actually make their cappuccinos. Now they just press a button on a machine and some brown stuff dribbles out into a cup.
Best solution: go to a locally owned restaurant or cafe.

Great post! The part that stuck out to me the most was this:
"Eating healthy is a great goal for someone to have, and it's one that some feel so passionate about that they in-turn feel justified in getting force involved; to try and make other people submit to their version of what healthy eating should be."
Simply because it's so true, at least for me. I get tired of people telling me what I should and shouldn't be eating or feeding my child (they're often conflicting, so it's almost as if we shouldn't eat at all). I'm an intelligent, grown adult and I'm perfectly capable of "researching" and deciding on my own what I feel is healthy and what is not.
I'm health-conscious, but I'm not a health fanatic. I think it's OK to eat something that's not "healthy" once in a while. Everything in moderation, as I've often heard the oldest living people say as their key to their daily diet.
My grandpa ate crap all the time, never had a health issue and lived to the ripe age of 93, so it also has to do with genetics (I think a lot of people don't like to admit genetics play a role in our health because it scares them).

It's probably about time that McDonald's either completely revamps their menu (especially the children's options) or parents simply stop using it as a source of food for their children. Our obesity epidemic speaks for itself, but the World Health Organization has stated that processed meat is a group 1 carcinogen and red meat is a group 2a carcinogen (lower number means greater strength of evidence): http://www.who.int/features/qa/cancer-red-meat/en/
It definitely should not be socially acceptable or even permissible (in my opinion) for known carcinogens to be fed to children. It is child abuse. I don't care how convenient it is for the parents. That is not an excuse. The vast majority of these children have absolutely no understanding of how this "food" is prepared or the possible negative consequences of consuming it.

I am not a parent nor do I desire to be one. I do understand that parents are tired, mine always were. Our generation thought McDonald's was the best thing ever. My parents, however, grew up in farm families and eating in restaurants, fast or otherwise, was a rare occurrence. Trust me when I say this..."behave like an animal and this is the last time we go to McDonald's" was a phrase my mother used in the calmest gentlest voice. Mom did not play games. German Catholic parochial schools do not teach flexible parenting! No negotiations. Mom was judge, jury, and executioner. There were no appeals court and definitely no stays.
My point is, I was often a horrible demanding child and my mother was the kindest warmest human being I have ever encountered to this day. She did not spare the rod nor spoil this child. She worked full time and cooked dinner every night because that was the way it was. She did not need a government to tell her how to feed her children, ever. End of story.

I choose not to patronize McDonald's. I think the quality of their food is horrendous. That being said, it is ridiculous that the government is trying to "protect" our children buy limiting their drink choice with a kids meal. Apparently eating all of the fired 'food" imaginable is fine... but the pop. Oh no! That is where we draw the line. Its absurd.
Its like only allowing diet soda in schools. Sure they are lower calories... but what chemicals are they replacing the sugar with? It's not "get smart and healthy" powder I can assure you of that.

McDonald's spends a huge sum for advertising, trying to cultivate the image of a 'green' company that cares about the good as well as the entertainment of its customers. Children are attracted (by dragging their parents) through the promise of 'free' toys and other gadgets. But behind the smiling face of Ronald McDonald is the reality: McDonald's is only interested in money. He wants to take a profit from anyone and anything.

The problem is, the often overused phrase now "too little, too late" but really; it's because people aren't going to McDonald's to be healthy! So them becoming more healthy is hardly going to attract any new customers at all! People concerned about health are going to the grocery store not getting fast food.
People eat fast food for the flavor, not for their health. We've known this for decades. At least I don't see these helath tactics working in America. It's also increasing the size of the menu and people will feel disappointment making their decision, whether to be healthier (and miss out on flavor and their cravings) or be unhealthy and regret it because they know it's worse for their health to enjoy their meal to the maximum flavor of the fast food diet.

You can eat healthily at MacDonalds, but it is difficult and you have to know what is what.
Don't eat the bad, and do eat the good.
To me, "good" means that it has protein, or vitamins and minerals, and it does not have much carbohydrate (sugar).
Most of what you can eat at MacDonalds is BAD, but the hamburger itself and the lettuce and tomato will not put up your blood sugar. Diet Coke will not put up your blood sugar.
Regular Coke will put up your blood sugar.
It is up to you to choose what you let pass into your mouth... so let pass Diet Coke instead of regular Coke. Don't let the French Fries in... don't let the bread in... Chocolate milk shake is not great, but it is better than chocolate cake.

I feel like making kids get milk with their happy meal isn't really helping the problem of kids not eating healthy. One serving of milk with a really unhealthy burger isn't making much of a difference. If kids aren't eating healthy at home then that is the real issue. Today families are structured different so you don't have stay at home mothers cooking every meal for their families like you did in the past. Now parents have to work more hours because the cost of living is high. Women are breadwinners for the family along with men. Corporations push unhealthy, processed, pre-prepared meals and fast food under the idea that is is quicker and easier than cooking a meal yourself when you are too busy. Those meals are often very unhealthy and full of sugar. Targeting McDonalds isn't solving the bigger problem.
