McDonald’s Promotes Healthy Eating With Dodo Bird

On Happy Meal packages.

Humans wiped out the Dodo bird population in the 17th century. So “Doddie” is not a “funny and curious bird” who doesn’t like “trying new things” and isn’t “thrilled” to taste fruits and vegetables because she doesn’t exist—much like McDonald’s concern for your child’s diet. The irony clogs my arteries.

Your move, parents, when Billy/Betty asks to go see a Dodo bird at the zoo.
