McDonald’s doesn’t think its employees should eat the food they serve.
The fast food giant has advised employees to avoid meals with burgers and fries and to eat healthier options like salad and sandwiches.
The advice was dispensed on the now-infamous McResource Line, the employees-only website that has told workers to sell their things and get second jobs to make ends meet.The advice is given with graphics depicting the ‘unhealthy choice’ and the ‘healthier choice.’ McDonald’s own food is in the former column.
Despite featuring a vast array of deep fried delicacies, the Golden Arches reminds employees that ‘avoiding items that are deep fried are your best bet.’
The sensible advice also tells McWorkers to ‘limit the extras such as cheese, bacon and mayonnaise.’ Tasty add-ons that are staples of many menu items they serve on a daily basis.
A hamburger, fries and soda are warned against, because ‘eating a diet high in fat puts people at rick for becoming overweight.’
Many locations offer steep food discounts and short breaks to employees, virtually forcing them to eat the unhealthy food, often forcing the hand of workers without the time or means to eat elsewhere.

Every time McD’s tries to sell a healthy option, no one buys it enough to keep it on the menu!
I used to go out of my way to pick up their apple/walnut ”salad,” plate until they dropped it.
It was delicious!
Pretty much it was all I ever went there for.
But doesn’t McD’s offer a price cut for employees to buy their own meals?
I know a lot of other burger joints do that.
Seems hypocritical to give a price break on food you tell your employees not to eat.
