Not So Mini Meals
While driving on the freeway yesterday I saw a billboard advertising McDonald's new "Mini Meals" for only $2.99. I found this very interesting that a company infamous for its high-calorie food was trying to attract customers by appealling to their healthy and economic sides. I looked up this new phenomenon expecting to see a drastic decrease in calories as the name suggests. However, some research into the subject showed that a mini meal contains up to 820 calories! Yes, this is much less than a super-sized value meal, but people should know that they are not making the healthy choices they think they are. For more information, click here.

Very interesting observation--I just went to the website you link to and saw that a "Mini Meal" is a double Cheeseburger, small fries, and small drink. I was thinking it was going to be a snack or something; when I was a kid, that wasn't a "mini meal"--it was just a typical order at McDonald's :)
ReplyDeleteI mean, a typical order for an adult (as I remember it)--for a kid, a Double Cheeseburger seemed huge!
