Quote:I don't see the big deal, they're telling their employees fast food all the time isn't good for you. I imagine most companies would say the same thing, heck nothing all the time is good for you.

 

McDonald's is really they're own worse enemy, they keep trying to push this healthy image, they should just come out and say the truth. "We sell Burgers and Fries, its not something anyone should eat every day but when you want it we make it and you'll like it."

 

Places like Five Guys don't have to be ashamed of what they serve or offer a salad  They are comfortable in what they are and it's up to the adults that eat it to make their decision. 

 

With McDonalds, it's because they have always marketed towards children. It's like cigarette companies when they had Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man. They get kids hooked at an early age and they have a customer for (an abbreviated) life.
