Pain in the posterior prigs bully McDonalds into rejigging happy meals

My kids are grown now but I must have been a very bad parent because from time to time I bought them happy meals.

Funnily enough they haven't ended up morbidly obese, just the converse in fact they are healthy, lithe and thriving.

The good thing about McDonalds is that that their restaurants are clean and you can rely upon the fact the food is well prepared and isn't going to give the little ones a tummy bug. In fact that is great part of the McDonalds winning formula.

Another good thing about McDonalds is the way it drives authoritarian ninnies into paroxysms of indignation about too much fat, too much sugar, too much salt. The real reason authoritarian ninnies get upset about McDonalds has nothing to do with fat, sugar and salt but visceral hatred of successful business models in a free enterprise society.

A bad thing about authoritarian ninnies is that the media give them the time of day and that authoritarian ninny politicians pass laws to control the way businesses do business. Based, in this case, upon the premise that people sheep are too stupid to know what's best for their own offspring and should not be given the choice as to what to feed them.

And McDonalds have to make changes to comply.
