In news that shook this writer to the core more than he expected, McDonald's is aiming to reduce the number of calories in its Happy Meals, and the humble cheeseburger is taking the hit.
As reported by USA Today, McDonald's plans to have all US Happy Meals reduced to 600 calories by June this year, with half of its franchises across the world hitting the same threshold by 2022. Currently, in 20 countries, only 20% of Happy Meal combos meet the new standard.
The upshot is that cheeseburgers will no longer be a part of the standard Happy Meal line-up - although they can be provided on request.
