The caloric value of the meal has nothing to do with it. The point is that it appears to be an attempt by the company to improve their menu for the benefit of their customers, that's how it looks to the customer, they say, "hey, McD's has a salad, they aren't being as greasy and gross." And then McDonald's reputation as a greasy bucket of fat becomes more healthy, even if just a little bit.

I don't know about Monsanto, but if they are still making profits its because people don't care about what they were doing. If people actually wanted to hear about the cows being hurt or the milk becoming more expensive, then they don't want to hear it, that's why the media doesn't say anything. If it becomes big enough of a deal to the point where we find out it's killing people or making people sick, then it will be something the citizens want to know, but as of now, it's not big enough of an issue for them to care about because the FDA approved it and people trust the FDA. If the FDA isn't reliable, that's a different issue, but most people beleive they are.
