Mom’s don’t be tricked by McDonalds!

without comments

I saw that McDonalds is trying to woo mother’s to their side.

So here is Debra DeMuth, McDonald’s global nutrition director, mounting a spirited defense of fries to five mothers of young children at a McDonald’s in Baltimore.

“They are probably one of the most victimized foods,” DeMuth says.

Plausible reason: A medium order at McDonald’s, besides the delectable taste, includes 380 calories, 270 milligrams of sodium and a color preservative called sodium acid pyrophosphate. But DeMuth presses her case, pointing out that fries are rich in potassium, adding, “They are also a really good source of fiber.”

One mom replies, “Once you throw them in grease, you kind of ruin it.”

Another says, “Potassium is good in bananas.”

Uhh yeah. I’d stick with the bananas. I will say as far as faster food goes I’ve noticed this new kid on the block called Chop’t that looks rather interesting and a lot healthier. If only people could see that there is definitely a market for healthier “faster” foods out there.
