McDonald's employee resources website is giving out even more odd advice for workers. This time, it's about the industry it helped make ubiquitous—fast food.

"Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight," reads one post on the site, which includes a picture of a hamburger and fries, two items that the fast-food giant specializes in selling.

2. Mickey Death must be using outsourced info to write this crap

One would think that a multi-billion dollar food conglomerate wouldn't have to, I dunno, surf Google in order to write internal memoranda about nutrition. If they're not writing it themselves, that should speak volumes about their commitment to the nutritional value for the food that they're actually selling to their customers.

3. I recall from their last blunder that they contract someone else...

...to collect the content they put on it. Looks like another general "helpful tip" that would be ok for most corporate sites, but failed to consider who this account was for.
