McDonald’s Website Tells Employees Not To Eat Fast Food

An internal McDonald’s website is telling employees the food they serve to customers is not healthy.

The London Daily Mail released screenshots of the McResource Line website that showed “unhealthy choice” beside a burger, fries and large soda while next to it “healthier choice” showed a deli sandwich, salad and water.

The website even tells employees that “avoiding items that are deep fried are your best bet.”  The burger, fries and soda were on the unhealthy list because “eating a diet high in fat puts people at risk for becoming overweight.”

The newspaper quotes the site telling employees to “eat at places that offer a variety of salads, soups and vegetables.”

The website is the same one that told McDonald’s employees to get a second job, apply for food stamps or sell their possessions to make ends meet in the current financial crisis.

A spokesperson told CNBC that media outlets were taking the website “completely out of context.”
