Mcrib = McGROSS

The McRib is back and it usually comes with a lot of hype

-used to bleach the flour in the bun it is also used to manufacture yoga mats and the soles of shoes 

it is also a "respiratory sensitizer" that potentially contributes to asthma through occupational exposure!

oh yeah and its not even made out of animal rib...

No more toys in SF

A new law in San Fransisco has been passed that will stop McDonalds from adding toys to Happy Meals.
The toy has long been the lure behind getting a McDonalds happy meal - and hopefully this will cut down on how many of these unhealthy meals are fed to kids.

In order for a meal to qualify to get a toy it must meet the following criteria:

-Less than 600 calories
-Less than 35% of the calories come from fat
-Less than 640 milligrams of sodium
-A fruit or vegetable

while this doesn't guarantee a healthy meal it is a least a step in the right direction
The adequate intake of sodium for kids 1-8 is between 1000-1200mg - so this qualified meal could still contain more than half the sodium your child should get in a day.
