Introduction
Selling protein shakes is a very viable business in today’s day and age due to many individuals becoming more health conscious. In the effort to live healthier lifestyles as it pertains to an individual’s diet, it is important to be consistent with incorporating the proper nutrients, vitamins, and protein. One problem that is evident when it comes to eating healthy is the time that it takes to prepare meals that are balanced and healthy. Recently McDonalds have begun to make healthier options

Marketing Strategy
McDonald is one of the largest fast food chains in the world serving over 68 million customers in 119 countries daily (McDonald's, 2012). However, a substantial market is overlooked: health conscience people. Today more consumers are aware of the effects of an unhealthy lifestyle and tend to avoid fast food, while others are required to follow strict diet guidelines. In an effort to reach all clients, McDonald’s is proposing to offer freshly made Muscle Milk Protein shakes. The shakes would be made to order so patrons could drive through and order the ingredients preferred, such as milk instead of water or vanilla instead of chocolate. Selling protein shakes at McDonald’s is a very viable solution to reaching busy active individuals, vegetarians, and those recovering from illness or injury (LiveStrong, 2012). The need for healthy food with fast food convenience exists, and offering Muscle Milk will suit the needs of those individuals wanting more protein,

This Industrial case review details the video documentary film entitled “SUPER SIZE ME” and documents the eating habits and health effects of one male individual that consumed ONLY McDonald’s fast food for Breakfast, Lunch, and dinner for a period of 30 days. As with any experiment, parameters and rules need to be established before the tests. We will get into those rules and limits concerning how this was to be accomplished. But before we delve into that, let’s take a few minutes to discuss Morgan Spurlock the man that performed the experiment and directed the documentary. We will also discuss the motivation and rational behind the decision to complete a documentary about a 30-day diet of ONLY FAST FOOD.

I. IntroductionBecause of the omnipotence of fast food chains in America, when we feel the urge for an easy meal, Americans, in general, immediately look to the fast food nation for a quick suppression to their hunger. Because we live in a time-is-money society the most efficient means of hunger satisfaction is the almighty drive-through. Corporations spend billions of dollars advertising to enhance sales of their products. With American catching on to the lack of healthy food options in the fast food nation, fast food chains began campaigning healthier food such as their salads and fruit cups. However salads may sound healthy but a Southwest Salad with Grilled Chicken from McDonalds has 320 calories and 90 grams of fat. Where's the "healthy" in that. Now that Obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. we need to re-evaluate the importance of healthy eating. By increasing awareness of the
When I used to drink milkshakes at Burger King as a kid, I thought they were normal milkshakes made with the basic ingredients; milk, ice cream, and strawberries. I never would have thought, especially as a kid, that this wasn’t the case. I never thought that instead, Burger King would be using 59 different kinds of acetates, acids, and oils for their milkshakes. When I was a kid, I loved drinking these milkshakes from McDonalds, Burger King, and other fast food restaurants, but today, I refuse to drink a milkshake from any of these places because now I know the actual ingredients that are going into the milkshake. Using artificial flavors and coloring may make food seem more appealing in a fast food restaurant, but it doesn’t make it any healthier. Most people go to eat at a fast food restaurant because they just need a quick bit to eat, but when people know the actual ingredients that are in their food, it just makes the food less appealing to eat and much less appetizing. At McDonalds, one medium order of fries is 378 calories, a 20 piece chicken McNugget is 470 calories, and a Big Mac has 530 calories. In the United States today, many people know how important it is for your body and health to try to eat healthy, but fast food is nowhere near healthy. We should be lucky that the French fries at McDonalds are made with actual potatoes, but the meat
The proposals that we are going to depose are a planning of continuous action in order to confront the challenges, which BT confronts. The most important factor is considered to be the fact that the marketing environment changed rapidly after the deregulation of the telephone industry. Up to then BT was operating as a monopoly, ignoring the competition and ways to face it.
First of all, we will touch the field of food health. In this situation, McDonald’s as the world’s leading fast food company has inevitably been first in the firing line. The problem in obesity and health eating has confronted the
In America, fast food has become such an easy way to eat meals without the hassle. With everyone in the working class working long days and hours, fast food is so convenient and inexpensive. Along with the popularity of fast food continuing to rise, so are diabetes and obesity. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease, 30.3 million people in the United States had diabetes in 2015. More than one-third of U.S. adults have obesity (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). Some fast food companies have tried to make their food healthier, as their products have been a concern to the public health industry. Diabetes and obesity have led to many other health concerns, such as high blood pressure, cancer in different areas of the body, heart disease, and potentially even death. With so many American’s having diet and weight related issues, many hospital visits are the result. As profit is the concern of most food companies, it’s hard to trust them when it comes to the concern of American people.
The development of fast food was revolutionary; however this revolution was corrupted by big business and their desire to maximize profit. With fast food being a staple for society, due to its convenience, the consumers fail to realize what is inside that burger they are eating. These cost effective additives may be justifiable in a businessman’s perspective but what about the consumer?
Obesity is probably the most significant issue facing the McDonald’s Company today. The corporation has been severally blamed for the menace due to its wide range of junk foods. As the world’s largest fast food company, it has become a target of most health related films such as Super Size Me. This is because the public blames the company for failing to give nutritional information concerning the items on its menu (Baron, 2010).
When a food franchise is labeled fast food it is only for two reason: it is fast and greasy meaning that their should be no excuses made up that people did not know it was bad for our bodies. When these delicious famous companies were formed they only focused on attracting customers, but times have changed and so they have adapted to our health. Mcdonald's is one among many companies that have changed their recipe and introduced new products that are a healthier option compared to the original in order to combat obesity, but this can not be a one man fight. Michael Moss, a New York Times investigative reporter and 2010 Pulitzer Prize winner, describes in his article, “The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food”, how CEO’s and food scientist have done their part by addressing the issue and finding alternatives. An example of this was the congregation on April 8 of 1999 to “warn the C.E.O.’s that their companies may have
In this increasingly health-conscious culture, many Americans are looking for ways to improve their health. Whether this journey includes adding weight training or subtracting fast food, many travelers alter their footfalls along the way. Exercise is significant, but a nutritious diet is crucial for reaching the final destination. Because of the role that food and drinks play in a wholesome lifestyle, many consumers have scrutinized certain products, looking for the product’s advantages or disadvantages. After this search, consumers often have doubts about the benefits of food additives.
