Happy happy burger burger
McDonalds is thinking about creating Happy Meals for adults:
McDonald's Corp. has enlisted the aid of Oprah Winfrey's personal trainer Bob Greene to promote an adult version of the Happy Meal, the fast-food giant's latest effort to offer healthier products.
Instead of Happy Meal standards like a burger and a toy, the new Go Active meal will include a salad, an exercise booklet and a pedometer meant to encourage walking.
You know, I'm not sure that someone who eats regularly at a McDonalds is going to suddenly become interested in a salad and a pedometer just because Oprah's personal trainer has his name on the box. But that's just me.
On the other hand, Ann Coulter is ready to dive right in.
