Right-Wing Media Outlets Rally Against Healthy Alternative, Blame First Lady For Change
Fox Responds To McDonald's "Fat Police" With Outrage Over "Happy" Being Lost In "Healthy Meal." During the July 26 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, the co-hosts repeatedly attacked McDonald's for voluntarily making Happy Meals healthier, claiming, in the words of Steve Doocy, that "there's about to be no more happy in your Happy Meals" because "they're being replaced with the healthy meal." {Fox News, Fox & Friends, 7/26/11 via Media Matters}

HotAir: "McDonald's To Revamp Happy Meals Because You're Too Dumb To Watch What Your Kids Eat." In a July 26 HotAir post titled, "McDonald's to revamp Happy Meals because you're too dumb to watch what your kids eat," AllahPundit wrote:

Fair headline? Well, until now, when ordering a Happy Meal you had a choice between the traditional burger and fries and a more nutritious but-mom-I-don't-want-that burger with apple slices. But it turns out most of you were choosing "poorly."

And so your choice had to be taken away. {HotAir, 7/26/11}

1. first lady advocates healthier eating.
2. a private enterprise (who is only in it for the money) makes a TOKEN AT BEST effort to offer a healthier alternative, purely as a business decision, AND OF THEIR OWN FREE WILL.
3. first lady praises said enterprise, which gives them free publicity so they can CONTINUE BEING A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MODEL FOR THE COUNTRY.
4. right wing acts like the "Inner Party" came up with another decree.

They don't work or play well with others.

We are talking McDonald's, right?

replace french fries with apples, yeah that makes for a healthy meal. :sarcasm:
