Hollywood twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have disgusted fans by advertising fast food franchise McDonald's - two months after Mary-Kate checked out of rehabilitation for an eating disorder.

The New York Minute duo appear on posters for the French division of McDonald's promoting burgers and chips despite the brunette twin, 18, spending six weeks in an undisclosed medical centre for anorexia from June to July.

Images of their new fast food campaign can be found at Mcdonalds.com.

That is outrageous! I mean, what is the message: you can eat all the burgers you want and still stay thin? Ignoring MK's problems with anorexia and exploiting her slim figure in such a way is an unforgivable scam! At least in my book...

[Acid]

she's young and rich and has been famous since before she could talk...i find it highly likely people that vulnerable are one something to deal with their day-to-day...(and anorexia many times is a biproduct of cocaine abuse, it does rob one of appetite)

.....

It makes more sense than their films.

their eyes often have that glossy look and pin-prick puples that people on coke get... however so does most of yonge hollywood

 

[Nemova]

It's quite an insult to customers. If people know they don't eat at Mc's, why are they advertising it? Nonsense.

 

[Spacemiu]

oh yeah girls with eating disorders and mcdonalds go hand in hand

 

[Kimkhuu]

Funny, McDonald's probably thought they'd be able to attract a clientele that's on a strict diet.

Well who knows, maybe they're using Mk and Ashley Olsen to promote some salad or something.

How strange, it's not like they need the money

 

[Kimkhuu]

We’re famous the world over for our burgers and fries, but we also offer an array of other options around the globe. In the US, for example, our menu lineup includes Premium salads, a grilled chicken sandwich, Chicken McNuggets made with White Meat, Fruit ‘n Yogurt Parfaits, juices and 1% low fat milk. Our Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals provide kids with important nutrients and our newest choices—Apple Dippers with Low Fat Caramel Dip, 1% Low Fat White and Chocolate Milk Jugs, and Apple Juice Boxes—make healthy eating even more fun for kids.

This is soooo touching. Now let's all run to McDonalds !

 

[Belowen]

I love how Macdonalds is now so proud that they use 'Real Chicken' and 'Real Bacon' - like what the hell were they using before?

 

[Bonchic]

where on the website because I couldn't find anything on www.mcdonalds.com

 

[Kimkhuu]

Me neither. I hope it isn't too scary.

your evidence is just speculation...there is no concrete proof that she had an addiction...

 

[Meg]

haha B, i wonder that all the time.

I don't find this insulting at all and I don't really get why other people do to. I almost find it encouraging that MK is like yes, I had an eating disorder but I'm dealing with it and I'm dealing with food options. I don't know. It doesn't bother me at all.
