Don Thompson said to McDonald’s McResource Line (MRL) website during the investor’s conference, employees are encouraged to mention no to eating fast food. Fast-food burger meat is treated with ammonia as a bonding agent, which is approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The dollar menu at McDonalds contains a side salad as an option that is worth 310 calories. Studies have shown that 1/3rd of children between the ages of 4 to 19 in the US eat fast food daily and fast-food stores closer to schools coincide with overweight children.

The MRL states that fast food contains unhealthy amounts of calories, salt, fat and sugars that ends in medical conditions such as:

• Obesity

• Diabetes

• Cardiopathy

• High blood pressure

The plenty amounts of salad dressing, bacon, cheese, alternative processed additives do not be contributive for a healthy life style, and employees are told to decide on restaurants that offer sandwiches, soups and vegetables as choices.

If McDonald’s staff realizes themselves eating at a fast-food chain, they are suggested to switch fries with a salad, choose hamburgers without cheese and sauces; asking for extra lettuce and tomatoes.
