But those healthy foods such as a salad if eaten with chicken and certain dressing can match a big mac on the calorie scale...Corporations will make you believe their are alternatives but they are usually unmatched.
A corporation like monsanto in the 70's ran campaigns saying "chemicals are the new way of life" (saw it in a old national geographic)...now monsanto has gotten into more trouble then with the whole GMF (genetically modified food) ordeal and a product that increased milk production in cows (it was stopped at the canadian border when our authorities questioned the reliability of the FDA on passing a product such as this that caused cows great pain and when they were being milked usually puss would find its way in with the milk)..and monsanto still continues to strive with profits, how is this so? The media is to blame of course, because most people do not know about such an issue.

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.

Ok back on topic, You people are all missing the point of fanatical muslim's. The're all turban wearing Terminators that absolutely will never ever stop untill they rip every westerners fucking heart out. You yanks have got it easy, no channel tunnel for the fuckers to crawl through for free dental and welfare oh and a slice of suicide bombing on the side. The only reason the west deal with the backwards fuckers is oil so lets go for the hat trick and nail saudi and iran aswell as iraq and hit the jackpot.

"Muslim protesters infuriated by cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad raised the diplomatic stakes
last night as Iran's best-selling newspaper announced it would retaliate by running images satirising the Holocaust.
The decision by the rightwing Hamshari daily to launch an international competition to find the most
suitable caricatures came as demonstrators hurled firebombs and stones at the Danish embassy in Tehran
and the Iranian government imposed a formal trade ban on Danish imports."
That's the same logic as machette has, Europeans upset muslims so
lets ridicule Jews. As if Iran doesn't do that on a permanent basis anyway.
