Eat Bling McDonald’s

October 5th, 2009

McDonald’s, your McMoms may have earned you a redemption point from me, but I’m deducting 1/2 a point for this fiasco:

A Chicago man is filing a lawsuit against McDonald’s, claiming he swallowed a gold hoop earring in his sandwich.

McDonald’s at Navy Pier in Chicago

On August 11^th, Boguslaw Nedza filed a complaint to McDonald’s, saying that he swallowed an earring while consuming a sandwich, which then became lodged in his throat and stomach. Mr. Nedza claims that the emergency personnel were unable to remove the lodged earring.

Stay tuned for the verdict on this inedible earring disaster snackers.

McMoms Take on Manhattan

October 2nd, 2009

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,
