Alright McDonald’s – 1 point for you and your attempt at nutrition redemption…
Nutrition-happy McMoms are spending some quality time at the local McDonald’s in Manhattan, volunteering as supporters of the fact that fast food really CAN be healthy, AND kid friendly – it just takes making the right decisions.
Some of the suggested swaps the Moms had?
| The Swap: | The Calorie Knock-Out: |
| Apple Dippers for French Fries | -195 calories |
| Water for Regular Coke | -150 calories |
| McNuggets for Cheeseburger | -110 calories |
I’m not recommending you grab your rascal and run to the nearest MickeyD’s, but if you’re on the go and need to feed your youngster, it’s good to know that there are healthy alternatives to the McGreasy and the McFatty out there.
P.S. On a side note, I think Burger King’s answer to the Apple Dippers – “Apple Fries” – is an absolutely GENIUS way to turn kids on to fruit – keep spreading the fruit love everyone!

Happy Snacking,
