Do Olympic Athletes Really Eat @ McDonald's?
McDonald's likes to tout that they are an Official Partner of the Olympic Games. But here's the thing: does anyone really think the athletes eat at that place when they go there?
Think about it: most of these athletes have rigorous training and specific calorie-limited diets, and most of the food at your local McDonalds has enough calorie content in it to last one half of one day.
Forgive me my skepticism, but I don't see a Jeannie Rochette ordering a Quart de livre avec fromage (that's Quarter Pounder w/ Cheese in Quebec/French Canadian), or a Apolo Ohno chomping on a Double Cheeseburger with a side of fries.
Besides, most of the venues, and I presume the Olympic Village where the athletes stay (the non-professional ones, anyway) have hundreds of food choices other than the Golden Arches of Northern Illinois, and a vast majority of those athletes take advantage of them. I mean, what sounds better to you: steak with steamed vegetables, or Chicken McNuggets with Chili Sauce?
Now, as for Coca-Cola? Oh, yeah. Totally. Besides, The Coca-Cola Company provided all sports drinks and bottled water for the Games, through their Dasani and Powerade brands, except they couldn't use their branding (per Olympic rules of keeping up the appearance of not being corporate whores, whereas the money they accept from corporations to provide services speaks otherwise...). This worked out well for Team Canada coach Mike Babcock; he frequently drinks Dasani during hockey games with the Red Wings in Detroit, and he did not deviate from that during the Olympics. His "water"-labeled Dasani was right in hand, all the way through the tournament.
Scheduled on tonight's show: From ABC's FlashForward, Dominic Monaghan, and actress Lindsay Sloane from "She's Out of My League". [Editor's Note: I have no realistic expectation that, upon the release of that movie, I will be dating super-hot women five years younger than me. In fact, my average tends to be women seven years or more older than me. Okay. You didn't need to know that...pretend you never read this editor's note...I said pretend, damn it. That's better. Now we can move along.]
