McShit

McDonald's can't even seem to make a salad properly:

Global hamburger giant McDonald's latest line in healthy
looking salads may contain more fat than its hamburgers, according to
the company's website.
[...]
"You can choose your salad, topping and dressing. You can mix and match
to suit your diet and lifestyle," said a McDonald's spokeswoman.
However, consumers hoping to lose weight by switching from burgers to
salads may be disappointed, according to the Interactive Nutrition
Counter on the McDonald's Web site. For example, on the new menu to be
launched at the end of this month, a "Caesar salad with Chicken
Premiere" contains 18.4 grammes of fat compared with 11.5 grammes of
fat in a standard cheeseburger. The British Nutrition Foundation (BNF)
told Reuters it welcomed the salad menu but warned that salad dressings
bought in fast-food outlets or supermarkets could be very high in fat
and calories. BNF said the recommended daily fat intake for men is 95
grammes per day and for women 70 grammes per day.
