Queen Michelle not satisfied with McDonald's changes

First Lady Michelle Obama Issues Statement About McDonald's Happy Meal Changes
Kids meals will automatically include a fruit/vegetable, right beside the French fries...McDonald's
Corporation this morning announced that it will make efforts to improve
the nutritional quality of its children's foods by automatically
including a small portion of produce in its boxed Happy Meals, as well
as trimming some fat and calories from its offerings. First Lady Michelle Obama
issued a statement in response, calling the plans "positive steps"
toward her goal of ending childhood obesity, but otherwise Mrs. Obama
adopted a wait-and-see attitude, saying she "looks forward" to the
company's "efforts in the years to come."
McDonald's has put a toe into the Let's Move! pool, but the changes were
neither broad enough nor deep enough to warrant Mrs. Obama inviting
executives to the White House for their announcement, as she did last
week when she joined executives from some of America's largest grocery
chains for an East Room announcement of their commitments to open stores in food deserts. Instead, McDonald's USA president Jan Fields unveiled the Happy Meal changes during a video appearance on ABC's Good Morning America.
