Medical News Today reports on a study about preschool kids and McDonald's "food".The study shows that the preschool kids prefer the taste of McDonald's food when it is packaged with the McDonald's brand. The same food packaged in a generic type package did not taste as good to the kids.
I've seen the McDonald's allure in action. One day while eating at a nice local restaurant there was a little kid making a big fuss behind me. I asked my wife who would see the crisis in action what the problem was.
She said the kid wanted to eat at McDonald's. Finally the ruckus settled down. When we left I saw the kid was eating "food" from McDonald's. Ick.
I'd like to see a medical insurance plan that excluded customers of fast "food" restaurants.
