McDonald's Tweaks Happy Meals To Include Fruit, Vegetables

Instead of offering children the choice of apples or fries, as McDonald's had experimented with in the past, Happy Meals will now automatically include both.
Kids ripping into their Happy Meal box at McDonald's will get something different than the standard hamburger, soft drink and fries that have filled the little, red box for 30 years.
The Illinois-based chain announced today on "Good Morning America"that it will begin serving a fruit or vegetable with every Happy Meal sold in the U.S.
"What we're doing is offering fruit to every child that comes into a McDonald's, so it is an automatic," Jan Fields, president of McDonalds said today on "GMA." "There's portion control, and we recognize the importance of fruit in a child's diet."
