Weight Watchers and McDonald’s… a not-so-Happy Meal!

By on April 2, 2010

Trick or treat? New Zealand residents are the first (and hopefully the last) bunch of guinea pigs to be fooled by McDonald’s and Weight Watchers apparent co-venture. These weight loss and fast food giants have joined forces – Weight Watchers will be endorsing Chicken McNuggets as healthy. A tad oxymoron-ish! Of all their items on the menu, why not a lesser of all the evils?

Of the 38 ingredients used to make these (far from Chicken) Nuggets, one is lighter fluid and several are corn. This does not include the corn that the chicken was fed, or the High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) that was guzzled down via a soft drink! The “Corn People” has taken on a whole meaning…

Commercial success at the expense of false hope doesn’t end with these two companies! The SAD (Standard American Diet) way of eating just keeps getting sadder thanks to marketing gurus such as these. Here in Los Angeles, there are a plethora of places to dine at that embrace “healthy meals” over “happy meals.” If you are one to follow the stars, eat like they do! Having been in the presence of several celebrities myself, I am always in awe of the will power. Of course the paparazzi and big screen no doubt do wonders for taming the taste buds!

Anyone who believes that eating Chicken McNuggets will cause you to lose weight is arguably one nugget short of a Happy Meal.” ~~Mike Adams~~
