...McDonald's
As you know America is a very fat country, people wise. McDonald's is a top food chain here and around the world. Here they are starting to give in and serve healthier options, but in Japan not so much, in fact there is only one salad, one sad side salad. Their new campaign called "Big America 2" features 4 burgers named after American locations. They range from medium to LARGE. The Idaho burger, which will make its debut by the end of this month, features a quarter-pound beef patty, melted cheese, a deep-fried hash brown, strips of bacon, onions and pepper-and-mustard sauce. The calorie count: 713. The Texas 2 Burger -- with chili, three buns, cheese and bacon comes in at 645 calories. The 557-calorie Miami burger has tortilla chips not as a side dish, but nestled on top of the beef patty. By contrast, McDonald's Japan's Quarter Pounder and Big Mac mainstays come in at 556 calories each. In America roughly 67% of adults are overweight compared to the 23% in Jap
an, probably sumo wrestlers. I guess McDonald's really wants to change that. Luckily these burgers will be around for a limited time offer, which in Japan only makes them more appealing. I know that many American companies give us the "good" stuff and pawn off other things on other countries, but this kind of makes McDonald's look shady. Selling health to us and then selling fat to the Japanese. It could be much much worse though, but I still do not approve. I am giving McDonald's a Digit Down.
