McDonalds has not even tried to mislead anyone to think that a Big Mac (tm) is lowfat or even healthy.

McDonalds was running a campaign here in New Zealand claiming just that, using a triathlete to front for them, so yes, they have.
McDonalds are happy to spend billions of dollars per year in advertising convincing people to eat their food; they have a stated goal of every McDonalds customer eating at McDs at least 20 times per month.
They're increasing the HFCS content of their breads (a known cause of type 2 diabetes) so they don't have to cook them as long to brown them. I don't see them publicising the downside, though.
McDonalds are happy to take the money. Why aren't they happy to take responsibility?
