Actually, I read a completely different viewpoint in an article  
purporting to quote senior McDonalds UK management.

It said (paraphrasing), that the healthy options stuff was introduced  
as a result of market research. They asked people: what should we do  
differently. Allegedly, an overwhelming number said "offer more  
healthy stuff, especially salads". So (the article contends), they did.

Result ? Apparently nobody was ordering the healthy stuff.

Conclusion: The customers lied.

Mark.

p.s. Subway really sucks and its expensive here in Germany. I can get  
a real baguette (yes, just like in France) stuffed full of, lets say,  
tender roast beef, ruccolla (rocket) tomato (all organic) and  
horseraddish sauce in a small private espresso bar immediately below  
my flat for less than the cost of a long limp bap with tired salad,  
unrecognizable meat and processed cheese (all tasteless) at Subway.  
Why anyone would go there is completely beyond me.
