I see little evidence that McDonalds are better or worse than the  
local greasy spoon. Just because it's served by acne'd youths or  
ethnic minorities, it doesn't mean it's healthier. It's still fried  
food.

McDonalds aim it at kids. That's got to count for something. Chips  
and fried battered white meat for a 4 year old? With a token fruit  
bag? Or carrot chips? I think not!

They only started doing their healthy option "subs" because Subway  
were handing them their own ass on a plate, in eye-talian Herb and  
cheese bread, with Ranch sauce....
