McDonald's to employees: Avoid burgers and fries - it's risky for your health

[QUOTE=Uzbekistan;43312677]Even more stupid considering they give you a free meal on your break, nobody making $7.25 an hour is going to turn that down[/QUOTE]

I used to work 9-11 hour shifts at McDonalds, I didn't have a choice what to eat when I was working those hours. I got my employee meal and gladly ate it, gaining about 10 pounds over the course of my time there.

[QUOTE=Drsalvador;43312743]If anything I'd say they're actually being [I]good[/I] by giving out this advice. Not only are they advising their workers to eat somewhere more healthy, they're not even using the opportunity to advertise their own product. How is this a bad thing?[/QUOTE]

It's a very good thing, but ironic and funny at the same time

Aren't MacDonalds salads and smoothies incredibly unhealthy?

I work at mcdonalds UK and they dont tell us this, its just common sense... not one of my co-workers is remotely fat and most go to the gym and run every other day. Says alot about what the company think of their US employees :v: Its really easy to eat healthily at McDonalds nower days, just noone thinks to

i don't know if it's just me but the ranch dressing in those packets you get at mcdonald's are really good imo. :v

[QUOTE=Kybalt;43314324]Even though that documentary was largely discredited and someone else made a similar documentary where they lost weight and improved their levels by being smart about the food they ate from McDonalds. (Aka low carbohydrates, no bread (but the rest of the burger is okay) and no fries, but salads are cool, and having water instead of soda))

here's the documentary btw. fat is good for you.[/QUOTE]

They show SuperSize Me in almost every school, it is pretty sad how they will allow such misleading info.

The fact that the "healthy" choice does resemble a Subway meal and that it advises eating at other places kind of sounds like bullshit to me. Not trying to make it seem that I think fast food burgers are healthy or anything like that. Just that it seems like their info might have been compromised or something.

The entire premise of that documentary is a joke, of course you're going to gain weight and have health issues if you eat the goddamn food [I]three times every day for a whole month.[/I]

Meh, I don't see what the big deal is. If I make billions off of selling shit to people, I'm not going to stop doing it. I'm just going to tell my family not to buy it.
