▍原文
McDonald’s will soon banish cheeseburgers and chocolate milk from its Happy Meal menu in an effort to cut down on the calories, sodium, saturated fat and sugar that kids consume at its restaurants.
The Happy Meal has long been a target of health advocates and parents who link it to childhood obesity.
McDonald’s has made many tweaks over the years, including cutting the size of its fries and adding fruit. Most recently, it swapped its apple juice for one that has less sugar.
It’s been especially important as the company tries to shake its junk-food image, since McDonald’s is known for getting more business from families with children relative to its traditional rivals, such as Burger King and Wendy’s.
