For years, McDonalds has offered its trademark Happy Meal to its customers ages 12 and younger. However, recently McDonalds has changed their Kid’s Meal.
No more than a year ago has this change been implemented, the former Happy Meal with chicken nuggets contains 520 calories and 26 grams of fat, while the altered version contains the number-slice of 410 calories and 19 grams of fat (Storm).
“By adding fruit in every Happy Meal, McDonald's hopes to address a challenge children face in meeting the recommended daily consumption of produce” (“New Happy Meal”).
Instead of ample amount of greasy fires for tiny mouths, this chain has given apple dippers as a means to “accustom kids to eating fresh fruit and vegetables when they go out to eat” (Storm).
When parents take an initiative to start their children on a healthy living style early in life, the more likely they will be to follow it.
