What's Happening -- McDonald's and Cuties
Back in November, I was invited to attend a lunch at McDonald's hosted by the Orange Wall Collective. It was a terrific opportunity to learn about McDonald's new commitment to adding healthy options to their menus.
They are providing transparency on their menus as shown here:
And on their website:

This is especially true of their Happy Meals.
You can "build a meal" and get the calorie count and other nutritional info.
Hamburger
A juicy hamburger with kids sized world famous fries, apple slices and your choice of fat free chocolate milk, low fat white milk or apple juice.
They now offer juice and milk instead of soda, and recently added a very bright option -- Cuties! Not too long ago, I got this amazing box.
Cuties offer 4 gram of fiber and are full of Vitamin C!
We checked it out ourselves. And it was a hit! A big thank you to Cuties and McDonalds for the box of mandarins. My family enjoyed them greatly!
