Restaurants, schools, and “away from home foods” provide at least 34% of our nation’s total caloric intake per annum, which is a 200% increase since 1978. Source: Away-From-Home Foods Increasingly Important to Quality of American Diet
This begets the question:
How healthy are children’s meals away from home?
In a recent article published by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, th
Una donna americana si era recata con i suoi due bimbi di 6 e 8 in uno dei migliaia di Mc. Donald's che affollano le nostre città.Qui, aveva ordinato 2 Happy Meal, i menù creati appositamente per i bambini, quelli con la sorpresa dentro, e per lei un semplice Hamburger. Mentre mangiavano la mamma però si è accorta che il più piccolo era più interessato agli scivoli che vedeva dall'altra parte della strada piuttosto che alle crocchette di pollo che non aveva nemmeno toccato, così aveva deciso di mangiarsele lei.Senza neanche guardare cosa aveva in mano stava per addentare il cibo, quando il figlioletto più grandicello, le ha urlato di non mangiarlo.Così lei ha guardato la crocchetta che aveva in mano e si è accorta che sotto la impanatura c'era un'intera testa di gallina. Potete immaginare a sorpresa e lo schifo in quel momento.Il manager del locale per scusarsi dell'inconveniente ha offerto il pranzo ai tre e ha anche offerto a mamma è figli un pranzo gratis per le due
McDonald executive Fred Turner decided yesterday to pull Sicko Happy Meals from its restaurants. The largest restaurant corporation in the world made the decision to disassociate their popular combination meal aimed at children from Michael Moore's health care documentary after parents complained that the the meal's toy, a realistic-looking set of kidney stones for the boys and a wheezing baby doll for the girls, made some of the children ill.
Michael Moore, reacted to the decision angrily, claiming that the meals were intended to cause middle class children discomfort and that McDonald's corporation made the decision because children tended to eat less and, thus cost McDonald's money,
"They're mad because they can't pump as many poisons into our children. This is outrageous! Where was McDonald's when Bush decided to invade Iraq?"
McDonald's plans to replace the Sicko Happy Meal with one based on the hit movie, Knocked up and featuring toy contraceptives.

My 6 year old son LOVES Wizard of Oz! He has seen the Judy Garland version at least 6 times. He has also seen the Muppets version many times. When McDonalds in April came out with the Wizard of Oz dolls, he was ecstatic! He wanted to go to McDonalds every week. For each new doll, he draws background sceneries for it. He would put it in the shoebox with others and he would play with them repeatedly. He even developed a Wizard of Oz play and wrote out scenes and dialogues. There was only one snag in his bliss. The Wizard of Oz dolls were considered a "girl" toy in the McDonald Happy Meal. Every time we went to order a happy meal, the folks who took the order would either automatically give him the "boy" toy, which was Teenage Mutant Turtles dolls (sorry, for boys, they are called figures!) or would correct me when I said I wanted the Wizard of Oz toy when they see my son. My son could not understand why the Wizard of Oz dolls were considered a "girl" toy. As he said, "Both boys a
Web traffic experiment number one! In an attempt to bring in more traffic to Ja Kel Daily I am experimenting with misc. articles that bring in loads of traffic for other sites. I will also start posting updates on my experiment to keep the readers that are interested informed!I caught this nonsensical fact on a McDonald's Happy Meal bag today on Boing Boing. It says: "You can jump 6 times higher in space." I don't think that's correct. If you jumped off a massive platform in space, you'd just keep going. They must have meant the moon.
At the end of April I found a story about a child finding a condom in a McDonald’s Happy Meal (thankfully not used). . . . now another child, this time an 8 year old from Illinois, has found a small bag of marijuana (with various drug paraphernalia) in their happy meal.
Even though no one was hurt, [...]
