McDonald’s is testing a burrito bowl with kale in Southern California, its latest effort to reinvent itself.
Only months after McDonald’s made fun of kale in a TV spot for the Big Mac, the hamburger chain confirmed Wednesday it is testing a $3.99 breakfast bowl that includes the ingredient at nine restaurants in Southern California. That burrito bowl also has turkey sausage and egg white.
Kale? Meh too healthy! ;)
ew
i get the world is changing and they are trying to keep up... but i'm sorry to me McD's is not about "healthy food" they are about burgers and fries and all those things fried..
Kale appeared to show up overnight. My grandmother never had it... my mother never had it..
Now if its in McDonalds paws? I`ll pass

Actually there is a study out there that I read last year (can still be found if you google it) that said their salads only made 2-3% of their sales. DH and I maybe go out for dinner 5 times a year (Yes, you read that right) and one of those times it's to McDonalds where I want a huge Big Mac, Large fries and a coke!!
I have never had Kale so I can't see myself eating it at McDonalds.
Kale is quite popular around here.. but that's because i live in a town filled with tree hugging granola crunching health nut hippies lol and old people lol
I agree with the comments.
I like kale. I don't like kale at McDonalds.
McDonalds should just bring back their pizza.
All their problems would be solved.:P
I grew up eating kale boiled and mashed together with potatoes. It's a Dutch thing. I consider it a comfort food, although it probably isn't a health food since it's served with big, fat sausages. I can't eat it raw because it hurts my throat.
They really should stick with what is working for them. Kale just doesn't seem to be a good fit right now. YUK:yikes:
OMG Shwa Girl, you just brought back so many memories for me. The day McDonald's introduced pizza to the Canadian market, my mother made sure I was the first person in line at our local McDonald's to get her a pizza. We even saved the little box they came in because she thought it would have been a "collector's item". LOL!Quote:

Kale by Little Bear brand tastes pretty good.
I agree with @toronto166 if they don't add healthier stuff people criticize them. When they do add healthier people criticize them. Can they never win? LOL
All restaurants add new products for limited time only. Subway, Burger King, KFC. McDonalds has been adding grilled items/salads/coffee/smoothies all this other stuff. I don't understand why people still think of it as a burgers only place
McDonald's commercials for their new salads is out. The salad with kale, well, not much kale. Just a bit. But the critics don't like the fat in this salad with the dressing and everything.
I don't get if they are trying to attract a new customer base or what. Imo people that complain about the food at McDs wouldn't go there even if they serve healthy food, so changing the menu to suit those people is not going to increase sales. They should stick with what they are good at and known for. Maybe add onion rings to the menu instead.
My McD indulgence is their poutine. Mmmm, gives me cravings just thinking about it :P
you just have to make sure not to use the whole pouch. I never use the full pouch on fat food salads because it gets soggyQuote:

I wish they offered vegetarian options of their salads with tofu perhaps.
McDonalds is losing so much of their market share while A&W has made steady gains with their "hormone-free" offerings. They're trying to be everything for everyone and it's not working; the 'experts' suggest they stick to fast food, tasty, hot, and cheap and leave the healthy choices to someone else before they get too far down the fast food ladder...
