DailyDirt: Happier Meals on The Way
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
Eating healthier has a lot of benefits. And all sorts of food distributors are trying to figure out ways to incorporate healthy snacks into people's meals... while still keeping profits as high as the usual not-so-healthy snacks. Here are just a few examples.- McD's is about to change their Happy Meals by adding some healthier snacks to them. Hmm. Does adding fries to a Healthy Meal make it a Happy Meal? [url]
- Healthier salads are on the way -- replacing romaine lettuce with other varieties of greens. Not just healthier, but also more amenable to machine processing, too... [url]
- Folks seem to like baby carrots a lot more than regular carrots... but not carrots cut up into little balls. And don't advertise carrots as healthy anymore. [url]
- To discover more food-related links, check out what's floating around in StumbleUpon. [url]
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
