Fret not. They aren't being taken away. They just aren't going to be listed as options for the Happy Meal. People can still order them.
well I did pretty much figure that one out but still part of a "happy meal" is something fun and small order, for kids. I would rather see the size of the portions kept small. We do volunteer work in an elementary school and watch what the kids do and do not eat. It is amazing. Yes, some of us have experience with small kids but to actually witness what they eat at lunch, hundreds of kids, it is amazing.
It’s not what kids eat that so much as bad for them, it’s what they won’t eat or have no access to that’s good for them. I suppose the fish sandwich will be next because of a social cause.
you are correct. I am amazed at what the kids we work with do not eat or have never even seen. I stand with what I said yesterday, let the kids have a fun meal once in awhile, while introducing them to a variety of foods at home. As for chocolate milk, I would rather have them drink it than soda or no milk at all. Even the schools offer chocolate milk. There is some nutritional benefits gained by drinking Choc milk, none from drinking soda.
This statement negates any credibility you may have had re: nutrition.
No it does not!!!!!! With chocolate milk they are still getting some calcium for starters. Yes, of course anyone with a brain knows the extra sugar is not healthy, but no even a little calcium is better than none. I am certainly not saying chocolate and reg milk are on an equal scale, I am saying a littler is better than none.
You do realize dogs aren't people, right? And that their bodies are actually different? Dogs also can't eat almonds, chocolate, cinnamon, garlic, onions, and ice cream. So do you avoid all of those with your kids?

Scientific method is alive and well.

Wow you guys have no sense of humor. Except for budlight. Now that was funny.
I was only saying that mcnuggets taste so bad that even my dog wouldn't want them and one made her sick. I would rather have the cheeseburger hands down than those nasty little fried nuggets.
As for healthier. That starts at home. If your kids don't eat healthy at home they are not going ot be interested in having it at a fast food restaurant.
I am not a health freak or a nut job, yet I eat at McDonald's once in a while. When you're on the road there often is no other choice. Sometimes I get a craving for one of their little ice cream cones on a hot summer day too. McDonalds is everywhere, you can't really get away from it.
When I eat an actual meal at a McDonald's it's always a happy meal. Happy meal because the hamburgers are the size they used to be before supersizing. Now it's a kids' size! But it used to be the normal size. Same with the fries--I don't want a giant bag full of fries, just a small bag will do.
And besides, I think if a place is going to sell food, they have some sort of responsibility to the public. If those people who are in the habit of eating bad food all the time couldn't get it so easily, maybe they'd be eating better. Maybe they'd be healthier. You know, all the rest of us who pay health insurance premiums are paying for the health of these fast food junkies too. I blame places like McDonald's for many of the health problems in the US.
No, they really don't.
Individuals have the freedom, for the most part, to make their own food choices for themselves and their kids.

The same cheeseburger and milk chug that have always been put in Happy Meals will still be put in Happy Meals if requested.
The only difference is that they won't be listed on the menu board as regular Happy Meal options. It won't be a differently sized cheeseburger or milk.
All I know is my dog threw up after eating McNuggets. I would not give them to my child.
Your dog licks it's ass. What is your point? I don't have a problem with my kids eating McNuggets now and then but if I catch them licking the dog's ass, that is where I draw the line.
All of this is really not worth arguing about anyway. McDonald's has ruined the taste of most of their food, especially the fries, trying to appease the nutrition police. Kids don't want to go to McDonald's anymore like they did when I was young because the food sucks now.
