Fast food giant McDonald’s came out today and said it was making, “Commitments to Offer Improved Nutrition Choices.” (Caps are from McDonald’s, not me.)

NOTE: Tour dates and venue prices vary. Pros: Entertaining show that captivated my 2-year-old and my 7-year-old — and made Mom and Dad smile, too; catchy, fun songs; running time was long enough to make an afternoon of it, but short enough where the kids didn’t lose interest. Cons: Seats toward the back made it [...]
