McDonald’s puts fat facts on food

BBC News is reporting that McDonald’s is planning to printing nutritional facts on the packaging of its burgers and fries. I assume that this is McDonalds response to critics such as Morgan Spurlock who allege that fast food suppliers such as McDonalds are contributing towards rising levels of obesity and other health problems. As far as I’m concerned, this is great news. Not that I’m a big McDonalds fan, but if the nutritional content of food becomes a selling point, then restaurants might just start to make healthier decisions when preparing their menus.
