This is a McDonalds $1,000,000 Menu Song contest record from 1989. I remember receiving it in our Sunday Star Tribune newspaper as a kid.

U.S. Department of Agriculture records show that the number of businesses approved to accept food stamps grew by a third from 2005 to 2010. Vendors from convenience and dollar discount stores to gas stations and pharmacies increasingly joined the growing entitlement program. Now, fast food chains like the YUM! brand are trying to get government approval to accept food stamps too. If it’s approved, the government will technically be paying for low-income people to eat at places like Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC, and Long John Silver’s.
The food police and public health advocates are not happy about this. I assume that many of you who pay taxes are not happy about it either. Obviously, the public would prefer that food stamp recipients make good nutritional choices with our hard-earned money. Fast food is bad for you right? How bad? Are you assuming welfare recipients are making good decisions in the grocery store aisle and that fast food options will derail that sensibility? Should poor people not be able to enjoy a Whopper? Should we have special EBT aisles in stores where people can only buy what we deem as healthy? Lots of questions. Not a lot of good answers.
What do you think the answer is?

The food police are out in full effect doing everything they can to shove their agenda down our throats. The latest example of this comes from the city I grew up in – Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Public Schools have removed chocolate milk from the lunchroom menu saying that it is making our children fat. Desserts have been off the menu since 2006. The chocolate milk kids drink at school may very well be the only calcium they get. Think about it.
It doesn’t stop here though. Some schools in Chicago think they know what diet is best for your child and have banned bag lunches from home.

The attack on McDonald’s continues too. The watchdog group called Corporate Accountability International argue that the iconic Ronald McDonald is to fast food and obesity what Joe Camel was to cigarettes and smoking-related health issues. The food police want him banned. McDonald’s is doing a half-hearted job defending him though. You won’t find him on their website or featured in any ads.
And let us not forget how San Francisco banned the Happy Meal toy unless the meal met certain nutritional standards. TIME had the nerve to ask if the crack down on McDonald’s went far enough.

I think it’s great that Taco Bell didn’t cower with the threat of a lawsuit regarding the quality of their beef. Instead, they fought back and defended their company and their food. Fast food is under attack in this country. Just look here, and here, and here. Taco Bell is one of the few that has the guts to fight back.
