Guess which company warns its employees against eating fast food?

"Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. 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," reads one post on the site.

Here's an image from the site:



If you thought that it would be impossible for McDonald's to pull a whopper of a blunder (pun intended) such as this ... you'd be wrong. That link leads to the blank page they replaced their employee resources site with after all the ridicule.

I give up.

You gave up reading?

I saw that. Strange.

I have to say that McDonalds have the best hamburgers and fries that i've ever tasted in my life!

Oh, you poor, underprivileged soul, you really are a long way from Texas, aren't you?

Tell you what -- if you ever get the inclination to come here, I'll show you some burgers that will make McDonald's taste like the styrofoam they're packaged in. You might end up moving here!

Excuse me, I got a bit Texan on that post. That translates as:

"Allow me, kind sir, to make a proposal."

Really? Just about any pub in the UK does better burgers imo, including Wetherspoons. Burger King aren't that much cop but even they beat the slop the Maccy D's serve up   Then of course there are the many restaurants which specialize in that sort of thing   

As for them warning about their own food- it is pathetic. This is up there with their recent campaign in the UK on how to live on the minimum wage...

@catman
Do u not eat burgers?

Maccas isn't too bad here (very consistent, but fake tasting)

But most Independent Takeaway will do a bigger/better one.

I regards to the article I think it is actually fair enough, both sides are Maccas I think. I don't eat there enough to be sure but I have seen ads for the 'healthy choices' range and the pic on the right looks like one of them.

I you were to work there I can see how it would be easy to eat a Big Mac everyday and even Maccas admits that is not healthy. I think Maccas has changed a bit here from the US, I know they have to change a lot of stuff to met out tougher regulations ( I worked at the First Chilis in Australia when it opened and they were directly told if you put that much butter in the mash you are not legally allowed to call in mash potato, the name would have to include butter, just one of dozens on examples) and apparently they use us to trial higher quality options, I know we are one of the few places were fresh food is cheaper than processed (in season apples are under a dollar a kilo, for example) so cheap and nasty takeout food doesn't do so well here.
