McDonalds in New Zealand have signed up Weight Watchers to rebrand some of its offerings as “healthy options” with a roll-out to Australia planned.

The dishes so far include fried chicken and fish.

Over in Australia they are still trying to persuade Chinese consumers that the noxious cane toad – of which the country has an estimated 200 million that have bred in Queensland since being ill-advisedly introduced in 1935 to control the sugar cane beetle – is a healthy eating option.

Perhaps a healthy McToadburger could be the next big marketing thing down there?
