Olympians and their McDonald's Meals

The commercial where McDonald's seems to claim that you can "eat like an Olympian" by eating Chicken McNuggets makes me just about jump off the couch every time it comes on.

NPR addressed this corporate sponsorship just this morning, and Dr. Gary Bennett from Duke University spoke about it. I've worked for Dr. Bennett and have the highest respect for him.
