Hugo: Good value for your money but bad value for your health

Posted on Jul 25th 2007 9:52AM by Martha Edwards
With all the hype that McDonald's is making about their commitment to healthy choices, and even despite their efforts to get rid of Supersized foods a few years ago, they are now taking a step backwards with their newest product, Hugo.

Hugo is, well, huge, with 42-oz of soda (that's 1.42 L) and a whopping 410 calories. Are you kidding me? 410 calories is a meal, not the drink you order with it. And at $0.89 at most restaurants, it's cheaper than bottled water.

I think this is a bad move, mainly because it shows that they're not as concerned about the health of their customers as they try to make us believe. But I do think that we as consumers need to take responsibility for our own health matters, which means choosing the bottled water over the Hugo-sized soda, even if it's more expensive.
