Take a look at the KFC Kid's LapTop lunch. It contains chicken! But it's fried. It also contains applesauce, a side (mac & cheese is prob the most popular?) fruit roll-ups and a small drink. Now....isn't that nutritious?
Yumm...think of all that sugar! All those transfats!
The chicken tenders at Burger King have 13 g of carbs.....without dipping sauce!
How about marketing salads to the kids? HOw about "real" fruit?
Yes, the fast food industry is marketing "healthy" food that aren't. There should be regulations on what they can say is "healthy".

Yes, did you ever notice that when Mom decides that eating at McD's is ok is only after she realizes they now have salads? As if it's only MOM who should be eating them!?! While the kids eat the fries, shakes, etc! ACK. And yes, in the KFC ads, they say "chicken (yes breaded of course), a side..... then it SHOWS the side.... a HUGE serving of mashed potatoes and gravy!! Two itty bitty pieces of chicken, which altho they are breaded, would at least be better for the kids than all those potatoes and gravy! Then they get applesauce too--ok, fine, that's not that bad, unless it's loaded with sugar--and a fruit rollup thing on top of that! What do you suppose the kids will go for first!?
Why don't they make a lunch with the chicken strips grilled, with a nice salad and the applesauce (why not fresh fruit)? sigh.. sorry to rant and rave but the ads really bug me!
