McDonalds to Change Happy Meals

McDonald's has announced that by 2012, all of its restaurants will be serving a new kind of happy meal. Instead of French fries, all happy meals will come with apple slices. This is in an effort to provide healthier meals, and to change their image. Currently, apple slices are an option for happy meals, but only 11% of people make that selection.

This is just another example of people not being able to control themselves. People blame McDonald's for making their kids fat. They don't blame themselves for taking their children there three times a week and letting them sit on their asses all day playing video games.

McDonald's food isn't healthy. But it's tasty. And if consumed only occasionally, it won't result in obesity. But we live in a society obsessed with not taking responsibility for itself and its own actions. I'm a chubby guy myself, but I don't blame Ronald McDonald, the Burger King, or Wendy for my surplus mass. We live in a free country (at least we used to), and part of having the freedom to make decisions is having the responsibility of living with them.

Apple slices don't go with hamburgers anyway. And neither does milk.
