FLOTUS Approves (Un)Happy Meals

Your child is obese.

Take no responsibility for the nutritional habits of your child however. Apparently it is McDonald's fault for disregarding your child's health by serving fries instead of apples.

But parents sleep easy tonight.

McDonald's has vowed to tackle your child's obesity problem beginning with the elimination of the caramel apple dip, a reduction in the french fries portion, and the addition of apple slices to every Happy Meal.

Michelle Obama (MO) commends McDonald's dedication to solving this dilemma, but still demands improvement:

"McDonald's is making continued progress today by providing more fruit and reducing the calories in its Happy Meals.

I've always said that everyone has a role to play in making America healthier, and these are positive steps toward the goal of solving the problem of childhood obesity.

McDonald's has continued to evolve its menu, and I look forward to hearing about the progress of today's commitments, as well as efforts in the years to come."

It doesn't seem MO will be content until McDonald's undergoes a comprehensive Berkeley facelift - complete with seitan burgers, apple slices, and wheatgrass juice.

Conversely, if a vegan diet does not sound like an appetizing spread, hop on over to the Shake Shack for the MO special instead:

"Obama Foodarama is reporting that Shake Shack and Eatonville are reporting a `Michelle Obama Effect' -- a spike in visitors after the first lady racked up the calories during visits last week. Apparently, you can now order `The Michelle Obama Special' at Shake Shack, and you'll get a burger, french fries, a shake and a Diet Coke, just like Mrs. O" (Washington Post).

perhaps Micky D's should add a new corrugated menu line item.

In fact they could totally suck up to the destruction of business tendencies of the left if ALL containers were made of edible cardboard.

Damn, I think I am on to something.

...as she has, Mrs. B.O. hasn't got any credibility whatsoever to complain about what other people choose to buy for their children.

I understand the corporate mindset to make nice and not rock the boat as much as possible, but giving into her demands only sets a dangerous precedent that other companies are more inclined to follow from now on.

Amen to that... by Chazwald, 07/27/2011 01:22:49 PM EST (none / 0)

There's no excuse for any business kowtowing to the second oldest profession unless they want to be outed as among a Nanny gummint enabling oldest profession.

C'mon, the biggest hiring numbers of any business in America for the month of April, and now it's kissing that big 'ol scowling faced ass? Amazing. It's a damn good thing I'm not the CEO of McDonald's 'cause I'd buckle her disbarred, global vacationing, boob-belt wearing, classless, wide assed, rib eating, burger & fries sneaking knees on top of telling her where to stick her apple slices. You can bet the legions of dollar value menu unwashed masses rallied on that fact.

Jim Skinner and his crew are a spineless, Big Nanny Gummint, Obama fellating schmucks.
