McDonald’s Website Advises Employees Not to Eat Fast Food

Uh oh, another Faux Paux for the McDonald's Employee Website.  This time it tells employees not to eat Fast Food. OOPS!!!

CNN Reports a graphic on the site shows a meal with a cheeseburger, fries and drink under the caption "Unhealthy choice." Next to it is a picture of a sub, a salad and water under the caption "Healthier choice."

"Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight."

The latest embarrassment is among a string that's cropped up since the McResource Line website went live.

Earlier this month, the site offered a guide on how much one should tip a pool cleaner, housekeeper, and even an au pair.

The University of California Berkeley Labor Center and University of Illinois released a study in October that said 52% of families of fast food workers receive assistance from a public program like Medicaid, food stamps, the Earned Income Tax Credit or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

Now the site has been shut down

Visitors to McResource Line on Wednesday were greeted with this statement: "We are temporarily performing some maintenance in order to provide you with the best experience possible. Please excuse us while these upgrades are being made."

Wonder who they had running the site, maybe a Mole for Subway?
