McDonald's in the United States and Canada has added a fitness tracker for children for a limited time to "Happy Meal" which is the "Happy set" in Japan. It is simple enough to count the number of steps, it has a function to blink depending on walking speed, and the color can be selected from 6 colors.


Although the idea of ​​"distributing fitness tracker by fast food store" may seem strange, McDonald's has been pressured to add fruits and vegetables to Happy Meal that children say from consumer groups and food activists for several years We have changed the side menu of Happy Meal to "slices of apple" or "low-fat yoghurt" Go-GURT " At the same time, Happy Meal 's french fries are changed to half size, so the menu for children is becoming increasingly health conscious.


If you look at tweets of people who actually received Fitness Tracker, they seem to be delighted with their children.


It seems that parents think that it is appropriate as a toy for children.


On the other hand, though not a happy set, McDonald 's poster that began junk food orientation in Japan attracted attention.
