Dear Ronald,
I realize my previous posting (see Fruit Buzzard) was a bit harsh. I guess my humble little point is that fast food should be fast (i.e., it shouldn't require assembly). While your plastic bags and containers assure fresh fruit and creamy yogurt, why can't the employees assemble the buzz upon order?
But enough ranting. Truth be told, every once in a great, great, great while, I enjoy McDonald's French fries. I'd like to commend Micky D's for serving some actual health food. But wait…the Fruit Buzz has more calories and more grams of fat than a McDonald's hamburger. Huh? Regardless, not many are going to choose a Fruit Buzz over a super-sized meal. But props to you for taking a step in curbing the fatty epidemic that plagues our nation.
Why are so many research dollars being poured into this larger than life problem? It's called eat in moderation, and don't sit on your ass all day long! Bring healthier foods and nutrition education into the classroom, and make healthier food more affordable and more available in impoverished areas. Oh, and more vegetables. You can always eat more vegetables. Sweet potatoes are unbelievably healthy, for instance.
As for those clowns who sue McDonald's for their obesity problems, don't even get me started. Who on God's green earth would not realize that a few hundred quarter pounders with cheese wouldn't lead to clogged arteries? I think those folks should be given fifty lashes from Grimace, and not a lash less. Anyway, Ronald, do send my regards to the Hamburglar. Stripes are in.
Yours truly,
Jessica
