It is a big day in Ed land so enjoy a blast from last September that you may not have seen before.

Just when slimmers thought it was safe to eat out at MacDonalds again...

“We did not expect these new salad entrées to be so loaded with fat and cholesterol,” says Brie Turner-McGrievy, M.S., R.D., the clinical research coordinator at PCRM.

Brie continues

Americans thinking about getting in shape and heading to the beach this summer should steer clear of the heavily hyped ‘salads’ that are smothered with chicken, cheese and other fatty foods.

It burgers belief that MacDonalds' style of salad can be fattier and more cholestrol laden than the famed Big Mac, but it says so here.

Is it not just more honest of the vendors from hell to say

"If you are fat, that's the way we like you, and our salads will keep you that way!"

Good luck to all concerned, especially the Chinese currently in MacDonalds' sights. Just like Mickie D's execs study stats, so the Chinese should record their waistlines now and again in 2017. Compare the growth. It should be stellar results for all concerned.
