Group lists 5 most unhealthy fast-food meals for kids
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine today, Aug. 31, released what it calls the The Five Most Unhealthful Fast-Food Kids Meals of 2010, firing a PR broadside at huge fast-food chains such as McDonald’s (which had the “worst” kids meal), Wendy’s, Burger King, KFC and A&W.
Some of the committee’s detractors call the PCRM the “food police,” and this organization does like its lists of “worsts,” with news releases just this year entitled “Dietitians Rank Five Worst School Lunches” and “Doctors List Best and Worst Cookbooks of Decade.”
Still, with the most calories, fat, and saturated fat of any meal analyzed, the McDonald’s “Mighty Kids Meal” certainly is, well, mighty. And childhood obesity is a problem that can’t be ignored.
Whatever happened to “Moderation in all things”?
