Fast food giant McDonald's (click here) has introduced new menu boards that make it harder to see and compare the calories in its products, disappointing health advocates and potentially breaching food labelling laws.
Old menu boards showed the kilojoules in each product next to its price, but the new boards, which have so far been rolled out in 700 stores across Australia, do not.
To see how many kilojoules are in a particular hamburger, customers must wait for up to a minute for the animated menu to scroll through each product, bringing up an image of that item and only then displaying its health information.
The health information for each item is displayed for about seven seconds....
And require real life images be placed on all sandwich wrappers. Like plaque in arteries.
