I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with showing an ideal version of a product for advertising; people should be aware that it's not quite what they're actually getting. I also think fast food gets criticized a lot, but it's not <i>that</i> bad. A hamburger is a well balanced meal, with meat, grains, cheese, and vegetables all in one. You could do a lot worse than having a few burgers a week. It’s not much different than photoshopped models selling clothing or movies or whatever.

And I don't buy fast food either - except for a coffee once in a while. So I guess I'm very fussy about it..... The ad vs reality pictures were very funny though!
