Commentary-

Despite minimal change on the menu, McDonald’s still has salads, albeit not many, to choose from that are healthier for consumers to eat. There are choices, the problem is that consumers refuse to pick the healthier options.

Commentary: The ultimate choice comes down to the consumer and the blame cannot be put onto industries such as McDonald’s when they have given people the choice between something unhealthy or something healthy.

Commentary- Because healthy options have been integrated into the fast food industry, it is entirely up to the consumer to pick the healthier option. Therefore, it cannot all be blamed on the industry itself for the consumption of unhealthy food.

The evidence above helps connect to the idea that a fast food kitchen isn’t where the “bad” happens but where it is finished. Although small the impact of the healthier options aren’t that prominent.

Commentary: McDonald’s attempted to add healthier items on their menu, but consumers are not buying these healthy options so it causes McDonald’s to take it off the menu to save money. Therefore, consumers are making the choice to eat unhealthy.

Although many fast food restaurants have added healthier options to their menu, customers tend to stick to their same order. Customers often order whatever item looks the most appetizing and are not paying attention to whether or not it is healthy or else they probably wouldn’t be choosing to eat out. This ultimately implies that the effects of fast food are caused by the customers themselves and not the restaurants.

Commentary: Even with a few healthier options presented, consumers still decide to pick the unhealthy option because it tastes better. The lack of support of healthy options through customers not buying them, demonstrates that customers choose to support the unhealthy options in the fast food industry.

Commentary: People who go to fast food restaurants they go there for the convenience and/or the taste of the food itself. When people go to a McDonalds they don’t want healthy foods, they want what they know is good. While consumers do this they often overlook the newer healthier options for older and more proven fast food that they know.

Due to rise of consumer demand for healthier fast food options, McDonald’s attempted to jump on this trend. They added the “McLean Deluxe,” a reduced fat burger. However, this burger was pulled from stores. Despite a fail in the deluxe line, they had previously added salads, which are still available today. Ultimately, it is up to the costumer to seek out and buy healthier fast food options.

Commentary: Consumers have an option to choose whether they want to live a healthy lifestyle, and find better alternatives. Or not to.

Commentary: Yet, when presented with these healthier options, the consumers still made the choice to continue eating unhealthy foods. Due to this, corporations such as McDonald’s removed the healthier options and didn’t change their menus much, as the healthier foods simply didn’t sell as much as the unhealthy foods.
