While the changes McDonald’s announced today are a step in the right direction, they fall far short of what is needed. Despite McDonald’s attempts to shake its junk food image, it has done nothing to change the content of fat, salt and sugar in its products, or to reduce its predatory marketing to children. Until the burger giant makes serious changes to its core business model, including ending its kid-targeted marketing, millions of people around the globe will continue to demand it change course.
