It’s been a while since the last time I was on a Field to Restaurant tour<\/a> with McDonald’s but I’m so excited to join the fun again. This time, we are traveling south to\u00a0Visalia and Maricopa to visit Sun Pacific’s California groves. We’ll\u00a0be able to chat with the farmers, see how these little balls of citrusy goodness get from the tree to your kids’ Happy Meals, and\u00a0learn about McDonald’s progression toward more healthy eating choices with registered dietitians. Cuties at McDonald’s \u2013 yay!<\/p>\n

Cuties at McDonald’s \u2013 Field to Restaurant Tour<\/h3>\n

What do Cuties have to do with McDonald’s? It’s a new menu option!\u00a0Now your kids can choose Go-GURT low-fat Strawberry Yogurt,\u00a0Apple Slices, OR Cuties as a side in their Happy Meals or Mighty Kids Meals.\u00a0With the announcement of offering\u00a0milk from cows that are not treated with rbST and working\u00a0to source verified sustainable beef, eating at McDonald’s is looking better and better \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Agriculture<\/p>\n

Our first stop is some 2-1\/2 hours away in Visalia. Fortunately, we had food, WiFi, electricity, and, of course, good company. (See Lynda of Mommy Powers<\/a> back there?) After a delicious dinner at Tommy’s, it was time to get some shut-eye before the next full day.<\/p>\n

Add Your Two Cents to the Cuties at McDonald’s Conversation!<\/h3>\n

If you have any (non-bashing) questions about McDonald’s, Cuties, or use of even better ingredients, feel free to leave them below and I can ask while on this trip! You can also follow along and live tweet with me on Twitter\u00a0using the hashtag #McDTour. <\/p>\n

I was invited on an all-expense paid media trip and compensated for my participation\/coverage of the event. All opinions are my own.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
