McDonalds said it first experimented with cutting fries entirely from the Happy Meals, but children and parents disagreed. People come to McDonalds and, first of all, they want the choice and the control to be theirs, but their expectation of a Happy Meal does include fries,said Jan Fields, president of McDonalds in the US. When we did it without fries, there was a huge disappointment.
The new French fries in Happy Meals will contain 1.1 ounces (31 grams) of potatoes, down from 2.4 ounces. Apple slices will often be included as the healthy dish, but it could also be carrots, pineapple slices or oranges, depending on the time of year and the region(区域) in which they are being served.
Although the subject to variation (变化) depends on what is ordered, the new meals will represent, on average, a 20% decrease (减少) in calories (卡路里) , the chain said. Fields said Happy Meal prices will not go up as a result of the changes. But the chain has raised prices this year as a result of increasing costs.
As the worlds largest restaurant chain by sales, McDonalds has been under careful examination for the nutritional (营养的) quality of its food. People also criticized its sales of childrens meals with a toy, connecting it to the nations obesity (肥胖) problem.
67. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. New Happy Meals contain fewer calories.
