News Information Share/McDonald’s

McDonald’s is overhauling its Happy Meals to make the kids’ menu healthier.

McDonald’s is making Happy Meals healthier.

By 2022, cheeseburgers won’t be part of the menu for the kids’ meals, although parents can still ask for them. The main choices will be hamburgers and four- and six-piece Chicken McNuggets. And the French fry sizes will be smaller.

Bottled water will be added to Happy Meals later this year, and chocolate milk will come with less sugar. McDonald’s also pledged to serve more fruits, vegetables and grains.

All Happy Meals in the United States will have 600 calories or less by June, and at least half of stores and drive-throughs around the world will meet that target by 2022. McDonald’s says the calorie count in an average Happy Meal will come down 20%.

The company also said Thursday it will “reinforce responsible marketing to children,” in a statement Thursday.

The American Heart Association called the move an “important step in the right direction” and urged McDonald’s competitors to follow suit. The organization said 40% of young children eat fast food every day.

McDonald’s has been tinkering with Happy Meals for several years in response to pressure from public health groups, and to lawsuits for using toys to market to kids.

In 2011, McDonald’s added apple slices to Happy Meals. Soda came off the menu in 2013. And last year, McDonald’s replaced Minute Maid apple juice with its lower-sugar Honest Kids brand juice.

It’s also experimenting around the globe with new Happy Meal items. Last month, McDonald’s rolled out a grilled chicken sandwich in Italy, and locations in Australia and France are exploring vegetable and protein options.

I own some feline pets, and they need a good litter. Trust me I have tried a whole bunch of them. The best litter by far is Tidy Cats litter. I do not care much for the light weight kind, because of price, but I like to get the big tub ones. I also use these tubs to house the used litter that I through into baggies, until I can dispose of them. Below is a link to it. Check it out.

SHORT STORY

Laura thought her Uncle was so very boring and odd. He wore a robe while working. He also wore a strange suit with a white-collar while he was not at work. The many times she visited with him, all she had to do was look at his books, he had lots of books,on lots of bookshelves. He also had small statues on his desk and end tables. She would sit sometimes and study them as if to know the stories behind them. One particular statue was of a man from way back a long time ago. She knew this because he had old clothes, some like she saw once in her Uncle’s books.

She knew her Uncle was a priest but she was not sure just what that meant. She knew he would say prayers over people and carry a necklace thing with a cross on it. She thought that was silly but she never asked him any questions. She had been taught not to. Her parents were real “sticklers” about that. She knew what the old saying, “Children should be seen and not heard”, meant.

Once she found a dusty case, at her Uncle’s place. She dusted it off and opened it up to see what lay inside. It was  a violin. Her curiousity was really getting to her, so she decided to ask her Uncle about it. Although she knew it was wrong and really did not want to disobey, but…

So she went to her Uncle and placed the dusty case with the violin in it down on the end table at her Uncle. He smiled a rather oddly at her and asked her where she found that old thing. She explained it was in one of the rooms and she was very curious about it. He went on to explain that before he became a priest he was a well-known violinist. He told her s few stories of his time being a violinist and she eagerly sat and listened to those stories, each and every one. As her Uncle finished talking he asked her to keep his violin safe for him and told her to keep it for him. She smiled one of the biggest grins she could and said to him, “Alright, I will”.

Later that evening she gave thought to her Uncle, as she looked down at his violin and she smiled. She knew she had misjudged her Uncle after all. He was not boring and strange, he was a man of many talents. He was now, in her mind, the best Uncle ever.

Just goes to show you, not everyone can be judged by their outer appearance.

The Police, Don’t Stand So Close To Me/Song share

Hey y’ll

Hope you guys are well and doing fine this day, August 27th, 2018.

I like this song and this was one the best hits for Police back in the day.

 

Here are the lyrics,,

Young teacher the subject
Of schoolgirl fantasy
She wants him so badly
Knows what she wants to be
Inside her there’s longing
This girl’s an open page
Book marking she’s so close now
This girl is half his age

Don’t stand to close to me
Her friends are so jealous
You know how bad girls get
Sometimes it’s not so easy
To be the teacher’s pet
Temptation, frustration
So bad it makes him cry
Wet bus stop, she’s waiting
His car is warm and dry

Don’t stand so close to me
Loose talk in the classroom
To hurt they try and try
Strong words in the staffroom
The accusations fly
It’s no use
He sees her
He starts to shake he starts to cough
Just like the old man in
That book by Nabokov

Don’t stand so close to me
