Ekupheleni kuka-2022, inkampani enkulu edla ukudla okusheshayo ithembisa ukuthi amaphesenti angama-50 noma ngaphezulu okukhethwa kukho kokudla kwezingane zabo kuzothobela inqubo entsha yokudla okunomsoco emhlabeni jikelele. Ngokwala mazinga amasha, ukudla kwezingane kuzoba ngama-calories angama-600 noma ngaphansi, kube namaphesenti angaphansi kuka-10 wamakhalori avela emafutheni agcwele, ngaphansi kuka-650mg we-sodium, nangaphansi kwamaphesenti ayi-10 wamakhalori asuka kushukela owengeziwe.

Ukuhlangabezana nale mihlahlandlela, inkampani ihlela ukudala uhlobo olusha lukashukela ushokoledi, ama-nix cheeseburger kwimenyu ye-Happy Meal, futhi yehlise inani lamafriji anikezwe nge-Chicken McNugget Happy Meal. Njengamanje, isidlo siza nefry elincane elilingana nabantu abadala, kepha bahlela ukudala inguqulo encane yezingane. (Ungahle uthande ukucabanga kabili ngaphambi koku-oda noma yiziphi izinto zemenyu "zosayizi wokudla okulula".)

Baphinde bahlele "ukuphaka izithelo, imifino, ubisi olunamafutha amancane, okusanhlamvu okuphelele, amaprotheni anciphile, namanzi ku-Happy Meals," ngokusho kokukhishwa kwenkampani. (Ima, imenyu kaMcDonald manje ihlanganisa ukugoqa kwe-burger ulethisi?!)

I-McDonald's ibilokhu ixoxa nge-Happy Meal yabo iminyaka eminingi. Ngo-2011, bangeze izingcezu zama-apula ekudleni kwezingane zabo. ISoda yaphuma eSidlweni Esijabulisayo ngo-2013. Ngonyaka odlule, izindawo ezweni lonke zafaka ijusi le-apula iMinute Maid ngejusi lomkhiqizo woshukela ophansi we-Honest Kids.

Ezinye zalezi zinqumo zadonswa yi-Alliance ngenhloso yokuthola Isizukulwane Esinempilo, iqembu elinika izingane amandla okuthuthukisa imikhuba enempilo. Bebelokhu befaka ingcindezi ezinkampanini ezithengisa ukudla okusheshayo njenge-McDonald's ukuthi ziqaphele kabanzi ukuthi zimaketha ini ezinganeni.

"Kusukela ngosuku lokuqala, i-Healthy Generation beyazi ukuthi umsebenzi wethu neMcDonald's ungaba nomthelela ekuthuthukisweni okubanzi kokudla kwezingane yonke indawo," kusho uDkt. Howell Wechsler, isikhulu esiphezulu se-Alliance for a Healthier Generation, esitatimendeni. "Isimemezelo sanamuhla simele inqubekela phambili ebonakalayo." Sithemba ukuthi kunjalo.
