McDonald's Milk Carton, 1985
Add to SetSummary
High calorie, fat, and salt content, along with large portion choices, made fast food the target of a raft of health problems -- from obesity to heart disease. Fast food restaurants responded in various ways to counteract this negative publicity, including offering healthy food and beverage choices. In 1985, for example, McDonald's offered this low fat milk option.
