Kid Goes Into McDonald’s and Orders ... Yogurt?

Kid goes into McDonald’s and orders yogurt from The New York Times

The main idea of this article is American children trend to eat healthy foods than junk foods. Chicken nuggets, burgers, fries and colas remain popular, but soup, yogurt, fruit, grilled chicken and chocolate milk are on the rise. There are many restaurants which try to include the healthy foods in the meal such as, Burger King announced three new kids’ meals that include small burgers, sliced apples that look like French fries, reduced-sodium chicken tenders, calcium-fortified apple juice and fat-free chocolate milk. McDonald’s offers apples and yogurt, and Wendy’s kids’ meals include mandarin oranges. In addition, milk consumption is on the rise and colas are down.

The interesting detail that I have learned from this article is that it is better for many kids’ health if they can change every meal from junk food to healthy foods.

One vocabulary word and it's meaning in this article; Obesity: is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health.
