McDonald's Removes Healthy Options from Menu

 

 

McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food chain, has decided to remove healthy options from its menu, such as salad, grilled chicken sandwiches, and fruit yogurt, due to staffing shortage and declining profits caused by the pandemic. 

 

Instead, the company will continue to offer traditional and popular items like hamburgers and fried chicken. McDonald's has faced criticism for being synonymous with junk food and its links to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

 

In an attempt to improve its image, the company introduced healthier options like salads, fruit, and low-fat milk, and started cooking burgers differently. However, controversy over food safety has persisted, such as the case of a child in South Korea who developed Hamburger Disease after eating an undercooked hamburger patty.

 

Dispite this, fast food remains a popular option for people with busy schedules or those who lack the time to prepare option for people with busy schedules or those who lack the time to prepare meals. 

 

McDonald's decision to remove healthy options is disappointing, and pursuing short-term profits may result in long-term losses.
