I can't help but continually go back and remind people that McDonald's has offered healthy options, and posted all the nutritional information in billlboards, and nobody bought the healthy food to begin with.

Mc Donald's could only appease the people that think it's all McDonald's fault by basically offering none of their menu. I think, while maybe somewhat ironic, a gesture of goodwill on their part that they even acknowledge a part in trying to educate people.

I don't see the same effort from Burger King, and their food is typically worse than McDonald's nutritionally.

Burger King is more focused on staying alive right now more than anything. BK is WAY bigger in the U.S. than Canada.

I understand the goodwill gesture... props to the arches, but promoting active living by having kids SIT IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER (another reason for child obesity) TO ENTER AND WIN FOOD GIFT CARDS (getting them back in to get fat)

I dunno, Oxymoron?
