McDonald’s, on its McResources Line site, which aimed at providing advice to the employees, posted an illustration that advised the employees to avoid fast food, and opt for healthier choices like a submarine sandwich, salad, and water. The site has since been shut down, following severe scrutiny from people across the world. Irony at its best.(source)
