McDonald's launches anti-obesity campaign
 

Why am I chuckling at this?

I'm actually glad you'll be able to go there and not have the lowest fat item on he menu be somewhere around 20g of fat.

I'm with ktsnake on this one. I only eat there about once a year, but I get tired of getting stares when I only order a Happy Meal.

Now they're bringing out an adult happy meal. It's supposed to have a salad, bottled water and include a pedometer instead of a toy.

Why can't they just get a grip on the fact that sometimes all adults want to eat is a hamburger, a small order of fries and a small drink? I don't want a pedometer, I just want to be able to get smaller portions that don't come in a silly azz Happy Meal bag. (Not that I am one to get embarrassed about that)

Dang this is making me think I might have to get a happy meal for lunch....LOL

I order happy meals sometimes.

They've never stopped me ordering one before.

everyone has the right to eat what they want.

Yeah, but I like getting toys. They're an added bonus. :D

It's not that they've STOPPED me, it's just that they give me weird looks. A full grown woman ordering a happy meal who doesn't have a kid in sight? Yeah, it looks a little strange when everyone else is supersizing everything.

Just give them dirty looks back...that's what I would do.

But then again I can be an uber b**** when I want to ;) :D

I always order a cheeseburger and small fries...EVERY time, the cashier says, "Now, you know getting a double cheeseburger and a large fry would be cheaper...why don't you save yourself some money?" NO people, I want what I ordered! :mad:

I tend to agree with this. People should be responsible for their health. However, I guess there comes a time when it's realized that people aren't going to be responsible and actions must be taken to curb people's horrible eating habits.

I just get it for the toy. :)

didn't they used to have a smaller portion meal? what the hell happened to that. it consisted of a cheeseburger/bbq burger/ or something, a small fry, and a small drink... minus the toy and cheesy bag. and it wasn't that expensive either.

where is that now????

i can't say anything tho... i haven't been to mikkey d's for the longest time... and i am proud.

It's also cheaper just to buy a happy meal than to buy them separately. So I'm frugal and watching my waistline at the same time! :)

These days the only time I go to McDonalds is if I just have a craving for one of their hamburgers... which is about once a year. I always regret it later, but it tastes good at the time.
