McDonalds to put Nutrition on Packaging

This seems like a step in the right direction for MCD. Finally, consumers can see just how much fat they are eating when they belly up to the counter at McDonalds. I guess they are trying to make themselves seem more health conscious.

McDonald's has been a magnet for complaints that fast food is unhealthy. It was targeted by the 2003 documentary "Supersize Me," which focused on the health risks of an all fast-food diet, and hit with a lawsuit blaming the company for the obesity of teenage customers, although that suit was dismissed.

It should be good for the bottom line as long as the Senate backs that anti-suing the fastfood companies Bill that went through Congress. It seems like a good bill because there is nothing addictive about McDonalds or any other fast food. The only problem I have is that it is cheaper to eat unhealthy then healthy in America. Oh well, I guess that is just an economies of scale thing.
