McDonald's posting calories on menu boards: Still lovin' it?

BY BOB HOLT

McDonald’s wants to make your Happy Meals that much healthier.

The largest restaurant chain in the world plans to put calorie count information on its menu boards beginning next week.

The New York Times reports that McDonald’s has also made some healthier additions to that menu including an egg white McMuffin, a grilled chicken option for the Happy Meal and seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Jan Fields, McDonald’s USA president, said, “We recognize customers want to know more about the nutrition content of the food and beverages they order.”

A proposed U.S. health-law mandate would require chain restaurants in more than 20 locations to post calorie contents of their foods, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. Posting calorie information is already a requirement in Philadelphia and New York.

The company has already introduced a “Favorites Under 400 Calories” menu, featuring its Filet-O-Fish, Egg McMuffin and medium fries.

McDonald’s is testing the McWrap, a bigger version of its chicken Snack Wrap, according  to an Associated Press report in the Chicago Tribune. The calorie totals of the wraps range from 350 to 580.

But having a Big Mac and medium fries for dinner will cost you 920 calories. Better try a Diet-Coke with that, because a 16-ounce Coca-Cola jumps the total to 1,140 calories.

A McDonald’s Big Mac consists of 550 calories, while a 12-ounce vanilla milkshake is made up of 530.

Children can be conned out of inheritance after multiple marriages

BY CAROL ABAYA NEWJERSEYNEWSROOM.COM THE SANDWICH GENERATION Multiple marriages and blended families can mean children get cheated out of money and assets their parent(s) earned and had before the second or third marriage. At the 2012 senior citizens’ law day conference, Lawrence A. Friedman, Bridgewater elder law attorney, said elders need to protect their children of prior marriages from being disinherited. "Even if your spouse’s current will provides for your children, your spouse may change it after you pass away,” he said. In addition to protecting one's child, an appropriate will can minimize N.J. estate taxes, which kick in if assets are over $675,000. At the conference, Cathyanne Pisciotta from North Brunswick discussed guardianship which could be necessary if various legal documents are not signed. Pisciotta said that if a person does not have a durable power of attorney (for financial affairs) and a living will (for medical decisions), anyone else can seek guardianship of that person. An expensive court proceeding is mandatory. And she said, “If one person seeks guardianship, someone else can challenge the appointment. Another relative may seek to be appointed guardian because he/she wants the money and power.”
