McDonald menu is not as healthy as perceived.
The recent weight watcher trend has taken the entire populace of the United States by a storm. The company has been extremely worried about the new breeze of weight watchers who are now in favor of having processed junk food which means a major damage to the business of McDonald’s Corporation.
The new Chief Executive Officer of the company, Mr. Steve Easterbrook who is adamant to bring the company out of its turmoil came up with various tactics that were devoted to bolster sales and churn out revenues for the company. Among these strategies, the company also came up with a few menu offerings that were targeting the weight watchers out there.
Among the healthy foods being served at McDonald outlet, a kale salad was also added to the menu. However, it has now been deduced that the salad is even more damaging than a regular Big Mac. Yes, you read that correctly. The fast food giant added kale to some of the items on its menu that was considered to be the miracle food.
Ironically, when nutritionist studied the nutritional value of the menu, it was observed that some of the items were actually not that healthy as perceived reported Take Part. According to them, the kale Caesar salad of the brand has more calories than its double patty Big Mac.
Basically a Big Mac is made up of pieces of bun, patties of meat, the special sauce of the company; cheese etc. all the sauces are rich in mayonnaise and other fattening agents. On the other hand, the kale Caesar salad is made of parmesan shaving and a "lettuce blend that includes baby kale," along with fried or grilled chicken and an asiago dressing that goes with it as reported by CBC.
So when you choose the fried chicken option, the salad which is thought to be a light meal and a healthy alternative with 730 calories among which 53 grams fat are present reports the Tech Times. Other than that, it has 1400 mg of sodium present.
This means that the salad comprises of almost three quarter of the fat that an average individual should intake within a day as per the My Daily Intake. Ironically, in contrast in taking a Big Mac is relatively cleaner eating. It is actually having 680 calories, with 38 grams of fat, and 1340 milligram of sodium. This is because it has a better amount of carbohydrates and proteins than the salad which means that the person who eats a burger will remain full for a fairly longer time span. Thus, a consensus is observed, it is not right to say that Big Mac can qualify as guilt free eating. However, it is still a safer bet than McDonald’s kale Caesar salad.
The company now needs to come up front and address the controversy since it is damaging the company’s image brutally. It actually means that McDonald’s is fooling its customers by calling unhealthy food as healthy.
