Wellness Choice Center – Newport Beach Chiropractor

“We serve 1.5 million meals a week in to 4 million people and we’re making every best effort to generate a change in behavior, to create an awareness in consumers about making healthy choices.” by the chief executive of McDonald’s New Zealand, Mark Hawthorne.

Three of McDonald’s meals (the Fillet-O-Fish, with 18g of fat and 380 calories; Chicken McNuggets, with 29g of fat and 485 calories; and Sweet Chilli Seared Chicken Wrap, with 18.8g of fat and 404 calories) have all been approved to be put on the Weight Wacther’s list.  As part of the deal, McDonald’s will use the Weight Watchers logo on its menu boards and Weight Watchers will promote McDonald’s food to dieters. This deal starts in New Zealand and Australia and the U.S. is on the list of this money making idea.

Let’s think about this, 10 pieces of Chicken McNuggets with almost 500 calories is almost a third of the number of calories an average female should consume in one day (an average woman who is not on a diet).

Let’s be real. This marketing strategy is genius but NOT healthy!  I do believe that we do make our own decisions and should be responsible for making healthy choice. Everyone should educate themselves before making those decisions! Pass on and share every piece of information you find to your family and friends so that they can make healthy choices. I’ve said it before, there’s no substitute for real fruits and vegetables. Replace those high calorie unhealthy foods for yummy and fresh fruits and veggies and experience weight loss and true vitality.
