At today’s event, McDonald’s is introducing its first ever “Go Active! Happy Meal” for adults (available beginning May 11, 2004 through June 7, 2004 at participating restaurants nationwide, while supplies last). The Go Active! Happy Meal includes the choice of a Premium Salad, bottled water or drink of choice, a Stepometer™ and a fun, informative booklet that provides walking and exercising tips.

This sounds like a good move to me. I know I have a hard time keeping myself active and healthy, as do most Americans. However, I expect that most of my readers will have quite cynical things to say, and I, for one, want to hear them.

(And who owns the trademark for Stepometer anyway?)

36 grams of fat and 9.5 grams of saturated fat.. that's one healthy meal!

You add a pamphlet nobody reads and a "Stepometer" no one will use to a meal that is "Healthy" and you know what the effect is? More people think a piece of crap "salad" is healthy for them. It's a great marketing scheme, but it's not goign to make America healthier.
