The company knows what it's selling, right? On McDonald's employee resources website there's some bizarre piece of advice for its workers bashing the very product it provides. One post starts off favorably, reading "Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced and readily available alternatives to home cooking," but then, "While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight." Another post descirbes the struggles with overeating and calls a meal with cheeseburgers and fries the "unhealthy choice." Looks like a job for Ronald McDonald.
