McDonald’s: Change your sexist packaging

This petition has been created and submitted by Jadeforshort for the UK branch of Mcdonald’s to alter their sexist packaging.

Their current packaging is offensive as it shows women to be the only ‘calorie counters’. It gives the total calorie intake for women but there is no mention of men’s calorie intake. Their packaging also has the internationally-used woman symbol on it, with no sign of the male counterpart. Calorie intakes are important for everyone; not just women. This packaging depicts women as ‘weight watchers’ and besides the clear sexism it doesn’t accurately show the percentage of total intake of fat, carbs, protein, etc., for an average male.

    I never noticed this before, probably because I only get Happy Meals. Still, this is unacceptable.
