I'm loving [fast food salads]!

I am always amused by McDonalds attempts to improve it's health image--like on its cups, there's a picture of a soccer player saying "I like to stay fit by playing soccer!" or something equally ambiguous. Heck, there's even a cartoon on the bottom of the cups that reminds us to properly dispose of trash, by having Ronald McDonald running to a trash can. And then today I heard about the Asian Salad that McDonalds is now marketing. It sounds pretty healthy. What makes me laugh is this:

[Chief marketing officer, Bill] Lamar says that [the upcoming movie, Fast Food Nation,] has nothing to do with the salad — or launch plans to promote it as part of a "Go Active Happy Meal for Adults." That includes a bottle of Dasani water and a workout DVD — for $5.29. link
I'm loving how it's such a good deal! I'm going buy 30 of these salads when they debut at Read! And 30 DVDs!
