McDonald’s unveils details of its $5 meal deal, but are you lovin’ it?
On Thursday, McDonald’s revealed its highly anticipated $5 meal deal.
Earlier this year the fast food giant came under fire after the receipt from a location in Connecticut went viral for its “outrageous pricing”. Ever since, the company has been working to find ways to win back its customers. Beginning June 25 and lasting for a limited time, McDonald’s will sell a “$5 Meal Deal” that will include: a McDouble cheeseburger, a McChicken sandwich, small French fries, 4-piece chicken nuggets, and small soft drink.
“We heard our fans loud and clear — they’re looking for even more great value from us, and this summer that’s exactly what they’ll get,” McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger said in a statement.
The fast food chain also announced that customers would be able to receive a free medium French fries on “Free Fries Friday” when they make a minimum $1 purchase.
McDonald’s deal comes on the heels of several viral posts claiming the price of a Big Mac has significantly increased in the past several years.
“The average price of a Big Mac in the US was $4.39 in 2019,” Erlinger stated. “Despite a global pandemic and historic rises in supply chain costs, wages and other inflationary pressures in the years that followed, the average cost is now $5.29. That’s an increase of 21% (not 100%).”

If you’re a chocoholic you may have noticed that your habit has lately become more expensive. The price of cocoa began creeping up in the second half of 2022. Since then it has doubled, reaching an all-time high in January 2024. That steep rise spells trouble for the chocolate business and sweet-toothed consumers alike.
Climate patterns are partly to blame for rising costs. Cocoa is mostly produced by small farmers in West Africa. Ghana and Ivory Coast grow about 60% of the world’s crop. Last season, in 2023, the El Niño weather pattern led to unseasonably high temperatures and rainfall that ravaged crops. Total rainfall in Ivory Coast’s cocoa-growing areas in 2023 was the highest in 20 years, according to Gro Intelligence, a data firm.
This year El Niño has brought severe drought to the cocoa farms, reducing production further. ING, a bank, estimates that this year the gap between global production and consumption will be at its widest since at least 2014. Extreme weather patterns have hit other commodities, too. Droughts in Thailand and India are affecting rice plantations. Torrential rain in Brazil, the world’s biggest sugar exporter, has affected its exports. Besides, other price pressures are specific to the cocoa industry. Swollen-shoot virus and black-pod disease — killers of cocoa trees — spread across Ghana and Ivory Coast during heavy rainfall last year. Tropical Research Services, a research company, estimates that by the end of 2023 the swollen-shoot virus had infected around 20% of Ivory Coast’s cocoa trees.

CESMAC Medicina 1º dia 2025.1Illnesses linked to McDonald's E. coli outbreak rise to 75, CDC says
At least 22 people have been hospitalized, including two with a severe kidney condition.
Oct. 25, 2024, 12:40 PM GMT-3 / Updated Oct. 25, 2024, 6:30 PM GMT-3
By Berkeley Lovelace Jr. and Erika Edwards
At least 75 people have gotten sick after eating McDonald's Quarter Pounders linked to a deadly E. coli strain, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Friday. The 75 cases, up from 49 on Tuesday, have been reported in 13 states. Twentytwo people, up from 10, have been hospitalized. The CDC said Tuesday that one person had died and reported no new deaths Friday.
The increase in people getting sick, which consists of older cases, was expected, as it can take several weeks for investigators to link illnesses to a food poisoning outbreak. The most recent case was Oct. 10. “I think there will most certainly be more illnesses reported,” said Matt Wise, chief of the CDC’s Outbreak Response and Prevention Branch.

The Creator of a Viral Black Fetus Medical Illustration Blends Art and Activism
Chidiebere Ibe says his work is not just about the lack of representation in medical illustrations. It's also about the beauty of African culture.
By David Limm January 13, 2022
As an aspiring medical illustrator, Chidiebere Ibe noticed the absence as soon as he began to learn the craft. Why aren't there more images of Black skin in medical illustration?
In a healthcare system beset with racial inequities, the relative scarcity of dark skin tones in medical textbooks is no exception. Driven to correct this imbalance, the Nigerian-born would-be neurosurgeon started teaching himself to illustrate, using Black skin to depict various medical conditions and procedures.
One-and-a-half years and one viral illustration later, Ibe is now a student at Kyiv Medical University in Ukraine, a budding illustrator, and an advocate for racial health justice. Over the past few weeks, his image of a Black pregnant person and fetus struck an instant chord on social media. For many, the picture was a reminder that racial bias can permeate every level of healthcare and medical training.
"I’ve literally never seen a black foetus illustrated, ever," said one Twitter user, whose post with the image helped propel the illustration to virality. "Seeing more textbooks like this would make me want to become medical student," said a commenter on Ibe's Instagram post.
Ni-ka Ford, a medical illustrator whose work is a favorite of Ibe's, said on Twitter, "Bias towards able-bodied whiteness in medical education materials is very harmful, it contributes to inequality and disparities in healthcare."
[…]
A 2018 study of four anatomy textbooks frequently assigned at medical schools found that dark skin tones were greatly underrepresented, making up less than 5% of more than 4,000 images analyzed. The same study also found that, despite having higher mortality rates for six common types of cancer – breast, cervical, colon, lung, prostate, and skin – Black people appeared in fewer than a quarter of images depicting cancer. None of the cancer-specific images showed what the study deemed to be dark skin tones.
Race matters, and skin tone matters in medicine, especially in dermatology. Research has shown that when dermatologists fail to recognize disease in Brown or Black skin, the results can be deadly.

HealthCity spoke with Ibe about the need for racial representation in healthcare, his approach to drawing Black skin, and the role of creativity in medical illustrations.
HealthCity: You've said that you are motivated by a passion for equity in healthcare but also by the beauty of Black people. Why do you think medical illustration is such a powerful device for promoting these things?
Chidiebere Ibe: Because I'm in the medical field, I am making use of the tools and the skills that I have to advocate for what I believe in. If I were a singer, I would sing songs to advocate for what I believe in. Because I'm an artist – I'm a medical illustrator – I have to create art that would advocate for what I believe in.
My drawings are not just depicting skin, or the Black skin, but also showing how Africa looks, typically. If you go to my drawings, you would see some drawings that depict how Africa looks like. For example, I created a drawing of a child with measles. That drawing was a child sitting on a bicycle, heading to the farm to get food for the day. Now, that's typical lifestyle of Africa. My drawings are depicting how Africa looks on a daily basis and also portraying the medical part of it.
