Do the Golden Arches want in on your New Year's Resolutions?

Does McD's usually see their sales go down in January while everyone is on their health kick? They certainly are keeping up on market changes at least, introducing this week a rather scrumptious-looking Fruit & Maple Oatmeal that you can find on TV or the home page of McDonalds.com. It certainly looks healthy, and admittedly tempted me to stop by that drive thru I haven't seen in a few years.

But if we are attempting to live by the rule of eating foods we've heard of before, let's take a little closer look at a few of the ingredients:

modified food starch, sulfur dioxide, calcium ascorbate, undefined cream (?!*!), sodium phosphate, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of monoglyceride, sodium stearoyl lactylate, sodium citrate....

My spell-check's not liking those words so well! Save the 5 minutes in the drive thru, and pull out the raisins and dice up some apples while your oats are cooking.

Decisions like that, time after time... that's what will make 2011 your best year yet!
