Shrek: The new face of healthy eating at McD's?

Really, when you look at Shrek, what is the first thing that comes to mind? His svelte figure? His healthy glow? His lovely umm...green skin? Though he may not exactly be the poster child for healthy living, McDonald's nonetheless chose him to lead their latest campaign, promoting the healthier choices they now offer to kids on their regular menu and in Happy Meals.

Shrek, Donkey, and other characters from the movie will apparently try to convince your kids to choose apple slices and salads rather than fries and burgers, and milk rather than soda. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not entirely convinced that even Shrek has the power to make kids want apples slices rather than salty, crispy, golden fries - but it is a step in the right direction at least.

Subway Restaurants introduce Fresh Fit menu

Subway restaurants released a new nationwide Fresh Fit menu in their stores yesterday, in hopes of promoting 'better for you' food choices for adults and children. Apparently the menus have been designed to suit active lifestyles, meet the American Heart Association's nutritional standards, and help combat childhood obesity.

Adult combo meals include a choice of one of their existing low-fat 6" sub sandwiches that contain six grams of fat or less, your choice of Diet Coke, water, or 1% milk, as well as your choice of sliced apples, raisins, or Baked Lay's. The combo meal for kids is quite similar, though just a little smaller and with a few less choices. They will receive a 4" low-fat sub, 1% milk or apple juice, and the choice of raisins or apples.

Apparently though, the introduction of this new menu comes with the removal of their low-carb wraps. Formerly displaying the Atkins logo, the wraps remained on the menu even after they stopped advertising them under the diet chain name. Further proof that the low-fat rather than low-carb trend has once again arrived.
