It's really sad, actually. There's nothing healthy at all about this promotion. McDonalds becomes removed from the obesity problem as everyone rushes out to vilify computers because of the time kids will spend in front of them doing these things.
The only reason McD's offers "healthy" food is because they realized that if they didn't offer something, then they're almost guilty of negligent homicide or perhaps even assisted suicide. Death by Big Mac? Not hard to do.
I'll die a hell of a lot faster eating what's publicly available to me from McDs, without controls, than I will from eating a large variety of other foods.
We stop kids from buying cigarettes or bying vodka (hopefully on both accounts), but when junk food and obesity ruins their will to live... we let them keep buying McDonalds. And, what's more... it's all a LOT of people with no brainpower at all think they can afford.
1 happy meal or fresh meat for a family? Vegetables or supersize that?
The dollar count ends up largely the same, but the effects and aftershocks end up being wildly different.
