McDonald's Happy Meal
Below you will find a link to an article published in Yahoo News Canada.
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s//yahoocanada/101013/canada/mcdonald_s_happy_meal_resists_decomposition_for_six_months
After reading this article, select and read...
[Did you know? Before the Happy Meal, there was the Fun Meal]
Is this a credible source of information? Why or why not? How do you know?
Your Task:
1) In pairs, you will create your own healthy 'fun meal'. You should aim to include the four food groups, an appealing box/container, and a toy or puzzle that will encourage kids to buy it.
2) Independently, you will write a short newspaper article promoting your happy meal. You can discuss the evolution of the happy meal/fast food and be sure to incorporate why your 'happy meal' is the better alternative.
