| First?I don't think this move is in conflict with the US marketing scheme as most fast food restaurants are changing to try to be more "healthy." Many of the salads at fast food restaurants are almost as fattening (or more so) than what would be an order of french fries. I also think most of the young people who eat fast food WANT fries and cola over something more healthy.
Also, when I was recently in a KFC in China a thought occurred to me about the size of portions there. If you saw the interesting documentary of last year "Supersize Me," it was discussed how the size of portions at these restaurants have grown over the years. In comparison, the size of fries and cola that you get at KFC/McD's in China when you order a "value meal" would be the equivalent to what you would get in a happy meal in the US. Therefore, unless you're eating that stuff on a daily or near daily basis, it isn't really all that bad if eaten in moderation. |
