McDonald's puts fat facts on food

Fast food giant McDonald's (blech!) is to begin printing nutritional facts on the packaging of its burgers and fries. Nutritional information on items such as the Big Mac, which contains 30g of fat, are currently only available in leaflets or on the company's website. (For the record, a McD cheeseburger is 6pts, a BigMac... off the scale at 13+. As a 190lb male I have a recommended target maintain intake of about 26pts/day)

McDonald's said it hoped to have the new packaging in 20,000 of its 30,000 fast food restaurants worldwide by the end of 2006.
