McDonald’s to Eliminate Parental Choice

McDonald’s is going to limit choice in Happy Meals. You’ll no longer have a choice between fries and apple slices. Apple slices will be included in every Happy Meal.

Reportedly, 88% of parents were aware apple slices were available, but only 11% ordered them.

So, now the choice will be taken away from them. (See story here.)

You know, I don’t go to McDonald’s often, but when I do, I want fries. I can get apples at home. Maybe a lot of these parents are doing the same. Just because they are letting their kids get fries instead of apple slices doesn’t mean they are feeding them an unhealthy diet. For a lot of people, taking the kids to McDonald’s is a treat.

And, the kids should be able to enjoy that treat and not be forced to get apple slices instead of fries.

Shame on McDonald’s!

How much do you want to bet that, once this is implemented, there will be tons of apple slices winding up in the trash?
