Will They Ever Get It Right?

Will They Ever Get It Right?

Oh Pill-ease, you have got to be kidding me!

McD’s are at it again with their attempt to disguise the fact that their food is just plain and simply unhealthy. Hell, even when they try to be healthy, they mess it up.

They are now jumping on the food fad of kale. Don’t they know, kale is so last year as 2016 heralds foods from turmeric to seriously upgraded oatmeal and the real “new” is Koji (koh-jee) which is just rice that’s been inoculated with the koji mold, (this is what’s used to make miso and soy sauce).

But before you dash out to your nearest golden arches, be warned because it transpires that the new salad, with all its trimmings, has more fat, more calories, and less protein than a Big Mac.

How can they get it so wrong?

McDonalds Sponsored What?

McDonalds Sponsored What?

Today I read that a weekend conference for Nutritionists held in California had, as their main sponsor, McDonalds.

Yes, you read that right.  What on earth is McDonalds doing at a Nutrition conference???

It appears that they were promoting their ‘healthy menu’ by being the only provider of lunches ….. which, as far as I’m concerned, is no more ‘healthy’ than their regular meals.
To quote from the article:
One peered into a plastic bowl containing a salad of lettuce, bacon, chicken, cheese, and ranch dressing. The other arranged two chocolate chip cookies and a yogurt parfait on a napkin. “Eww,” she said, gingerly stirring the layers of yogurt and pink strawberry goop. The woman with the salad nodded in agreement, poking at a wan chicken strip with her plastic fork.”
Sounds disgusting.

McDonalds wasn’t the only sponsor, oh no, Hersheys, Butter Buds, Sizzler and California Pizza Kitchen were also there touting their wares. Even the California Beef Council were giving out pamphlets on how to lose weight by eating steak.

All of this is just so wrong. But unfortunately, we live in a society where those who have the money also have the power and to put on a large conference it takes money. It’s such a shame that those who organised this event perhaps had no other alternative but to get sponsorship from the least nutritional companies they could find.

I don’t believe they should have even considered doing such a thing as, in my mind, it just makes the word ‘nutritionist’ a complete farce.
