McDonald's Launches Nutrition Information Initiative
If anyone has never seen the documentary "Super Size Me", it is a film about the harmful effects McDonald's food can have on your body. Many Americans are unaware of the nutritional value or lack of it in most McDonalds food. This film really shed light on the fact that Americans are becoming more and more obeese by choosing to dine in on these fast food restaurants.
Recently, McDonald's has agreed to take part in a nutritional initiative that entails them labeling their products with nutritional information. McDonald's is the leading foodservice retailer with more than 30,000 local restaurants that serve nearly 50 million people in more than 100 countries each day. The fact that McDonalds is finally choosing to post these nutritional facts on their products is a step in the right direction, however, I am not quite sure how effective it may be. There has always been a negative portrayal of the food McDonald's serves, yet millions of people still choose to eat there. At least, I do hope this new information will help inform individuals about what they are putting into their bodies.
