McDonald&#8217;s announced today it is downsizing its supersizing. The 7-ounce fries (610 calories) and 42-ounce drink containers will be gone by the end of the year. Some say this is in reaction to criticisms of McDonald&#8217;s unhealthy menu, others that this is just a business decision. McDonald&#8217;s claims the decision  comes as a way to simplify their menu.<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; It would be easy to consider this as terrible, heartbreaking news for us. But the truth is there&#8217;s no rule saying you can only buy one serving of fries. So I can see why McDonald&#8217;s would consider this to be a business decision above being a good PR move.
