Criticism
This product was mentioned at the end of Super Size Me, along with McDonald's promoted healthy options.
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
McDonald's joined right in, sponsoring events that showed how health conscious they had become and creating a new line of premium salads. At the same time, however, they also masterminded one of their fattest sandwiches to date: The McGriddle, a pancake-wrapped creation that won my heart in Texas, but can pack as much fat as a Big Mac, and have more sugar than a pack of McDonald's cookies.
