Oops. We Didn’t Expect This
McDonald’s is using the calorie count for the exact opposite purpose public-health advocates intended: It’s using high calorie counts to convey what an incredible deal their food is. Look how many calories you get for only $5.69! That’s a way better per-calorie deal than pretty much anything else on the board.

The Beat Goes On
Wow. That’s amazing.
Tremendously. Crazy how marketing agencies work
For some people this might be a real concern. Getting lots of calories at a low price might be desirable. Meddling with “fast food” might have unintended consequences…
They are definitely attempting to fight back
Good point. The attack on fast food might have an impact on waist lines, and it might cause people to hungry also.
*might cause people to go hungry
“as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.”
My thoughts exactly, Obi-Wan.
Perfect comparison. This is seriously jaw-dropping news.
You don’t think about those kind of decisions having to be made…
Did anybody think this would happen? I can’t imagine that this outcome was ever considered….
I am sure there’s a chamber full of congressman muttering expletives under their breath.
For those who are attracted to this marketing campaign:
You are the reason why I don’t want my tax dollars going to your health care!
Seriously, people need to start thinking smarter/healthier.
Or we should just not share health care costs.
McDonald’s is an incredible deal. Especially when feeding a bunch of teenage boys after a sporting event for something south of the national debt.
Considering you can get a full day’s worth of calories for just a few bucks, it really is one of the best deals around.
Sounds like a great idea that someone at McDonalds had.
