Disney/McDonald's split

[MouseWorshipin]

Is that the main reason why vegetarians are usually so much more obese than McD regulars

Back to topic:
A company like Disney will always sell what its customers demand. If the average visitor wants one of those IMHO disgusting turkey legs, they'll sell it So far the only legal treat Disney doesn't sell is chewing gum - and booze at MK.

Most vegetarians are very careful to eat a balanced diet. But some aren't careful enough, and end up having problems because of it. Thin doesn't mean healthy.

That was my point, I probably should have been clearer: If you limit yourself to any kind of food (McDonalds, Spaghetti, lettuce, whatever) and neglect others, you're going to get sick. Need all those vitamins and minerals. That guy didn't have to pick fast food to make himself sick. He could have selected anything that wasn't well-balanced and eaten it exclusively for a month.

I doubt that Disney is going to go to all-healthy, all-the-time dining. I am quite sure it had nothing to do with the health factor. It was business is my guess.

Avoid eating with nutritionists or people who are always "on a diet."

Life is good.

Pass the fries.

Another rule to live by! Good one Joe. You made me laugh.


Disney and Mickey D did not sever ties because of McDonalds menu. It's all about the usual reason, money.

Does that mean no more MickeyD's in Animal Kingdom and no more fries in the parks?

This decision (which was made last year, incidently) simply ends the cooperative, exclusive marketing agreement between the two companies. It doesn't mean that the two companies won't do any business with each other... they may indeed continue to do the same things they have the in the past, but will make such arrangements on a case-by-case basis instead of relying on the exclusivity. This decision doesn't "mean" that any of the McDonald's outlets in the parks are closing. If that were to happen, it would be a separate decision, not yet made or not yet made public.

This decision was about marketing, not about nutrition.
