McDonalds Hiding Nutrition Facts?

Do you think McDonalds really keeps nutrition facts away from people or just don't make effort to educate people about their nutrition facts?

There is some stuff pointed out here that I found interesting, and I'm thinking that if people really knew this, they'd probably not eat McDonalds all the time.

You can barely even get a nutrition facts label thing from McDonalds, or any other fast food place if you tried to. Do you think that there should be a rule that fast food places have to give you the nutrition facts of what you're eating?

Uh...McDonald's has nutrition facts on the food's packaging. And EVERY fast food place has a guide online. I've also never been to a McDonald's where the info wasn't posted on the wall.

You can find nutrition facts for everything on their website. However, I can imagine they don't want to announce to you that you're consuming a lot of calories, fat, etc., and a lot of people don't want to be bummed out by knowing what they're really eating when enjoying some lunch....kinda like eating a hot dog while someone tells you what part of the animal was recycled to make it.

I believe there has been a lot of debate in the state of New York regarding requiring restaurants to list calories on their menus.

i think all restaurants who make food about the same like with a constant menu should do this show the nutrition facts they give um to u if u ask though but it should be required to put it on the wall or something i mean people already know its terrible for u but they like it or on the go putting up nutrition facts isnt gonna stop alot of pple from eating it i still eat it occasionaly and if i do i get a burger fries and a shake but i do like 1 time a year when i go on a trip to NY on the way there we stop at Mcdonalds =) but yea good point star for u
