McDonald's fries are a war crime.
But I seriously doubt that caramel dipping sauce for the apples makes them a healthier option.
I dunno about Mickey D's, but BK uses a fat free caramel sauce that's only like, 40 calories for the packet. If McDonalds uses something similar, then yes, the apples would be better than the fries.
People need to stop being lazy. I can cook a healthy meal for 4 in about 30 minutes. No problem. Get the kids to help with the dishes and setting up the table and BAM healthy family meal.
When I see a really obese kid I just want to smack the parents laziness and poor decision making. That kid is screwed for life because the parents refuse to learn to parent correctly. They'll put the blame on everything but themselves. Grades low? Teacher's fault. Kid is fat? McDonald's fault.
Damn blame society.
Who would volunatarily go to McDonalds anyway?

Are we sure the apples are even healthier than the fries? Warm apple slices. How appetizing.FragStains
I'm sure they'll spray them with something to keep the apples from going brown.

Also, it kind of annoys me how mcdonalds is always the one taking the heat, when all of these fast food restaraunts are generally just as bad for you.
Some people just hate success........ and McDonalds is likely the most successful.Also, it kind of annoys me how mcdonalds is always the one taking the heat, when all of these fast food restaraunts are generally just as bad for you.

Yeah. They know exactly what they are doing. They have come out and said their food is not healthy. It's not trying to be. Stop taking your kids to these places! Make your own meal. It's cheaper and it's healthier.

McDonalds is delicious. Not as good as Taco Bell though.
I really can't see the appeal. Sometimes they do nice specials but that's about it, KFC has a better standard menu.the apples come with a ridiculously delicious caramel dipping sauce.. not sure how much more healthy that option is.comp_atkins
I dip my fries in that caramel sauce.

Any who says delicious, either hasn't had a good meal or needs to see a doctor. McDonalds in the low of the low of food.
McDonald's is emergency food.
It's like eating bugs when lost in the wilderness or drinking your own urine when you can't find water.

I've had many good meals and I just saw a doctor 6 months ago, everything is fine :|
McDonalds tastes good. I'd say the lowest of low is White Castle.
That is ridiculous, when you go to McDonald's you know your not getting healthy food. They should not have to cave in rather the people complaining that its unhealthy shouldn't be eating food there in the first place.
Big Macs are amazing. Whoppers are amazing. Nacho Cheese Chalopas are amazing. Arby's Big Montana is amazing. Wendy's double with cheese is amazing. KFC pot pies are amazing. Anyone who says they are disgusting is a liar. Use common sense and get them as a treat 1 time a month or so or as a last resort. Quit with this I'm too good for fast food crap because you eat it. Everyone does.
So now I can't get fries with my happy meals? :( I don't see whats happy about that fastesttruckWell if they called them 'sad meals' nobody would buy them.

I read a few weeks ago in a paper that every state in the US has at least a 20% obesity rate... People really gotta go hit a treadmill or something.yeah it's a problem and year after year obesity rate gets larger and larger

This! I used to go to McDonalds for a treat when I was a kid - if my mum had then turned around and said I had to have apples & water then it defeats the object of going in the first place!Who the heck goes to McDonalds for apples?

I wish people would stop blaming the restaurants for people's obesity and start holding the PEOPLE who eat there responsible.
McDonald's in no way should have to change anything they offer. They aren't forcing people to eat it.

McDonalds.. And junk food in general is much cheaper than healthy food.. Our local schools are more likely to serve junk food than they are to healthy food by a very large margin.. The fact of the matter is WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE TO WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? We have a problem here, and children.. As in not adults are the ones that are suffering for it.. We can go down that route and blame the parents, but yet again.. How exactly is that going to change anything when regulating the earlier is far easier and far more effective.. That being said I honestly think this should be the last thing they need to do.. What needs to be targeted is public schools and the erradication of all soft drinks, junk food etc etc.. My memory of high school food consisted of fried salty fast food.. You had to go OUT of yoru way to find something even coming close to healthy within the local school cafeteria.. And really this is all about consuming. When children watch tv.. I agree it has much to do with the parents, I just don't SEE HOW acknowledging this is some how going to stop the obesity epidemic.
People DON'T go to Mcdonalds to eat healthy. Why in the world would anyone try to regulate how you can eat at Mcdonalds. If a kid is obese it's not anybodies fault but the parents for allowing their kids to eat so much and not get proper exercise. ferrari2001
So yet again how would you solve this? Force these parents into special teaching? People seem to be great at stating the obvious but not providing any solutions what so ever about health problems in general.
