CHICAGO (Reuters) - McDonald's plans to remove oft-criticised Super Size french fries and soft drinks by the end of the year, part of broader plans to simplify its menu and offer choices that appeal to consumers' heightened concerns about health.

McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food company, said on Wednesday it is making the changes to "support a balanced lifestyle" strategy. They come as the company and many of its rivals move to offer foods that diverge from traditional fatty fast-food fare, including more entree-sized salads, chicken sandwiches, fruit and milk for children.

The Super Size option, a seven-ounce fries carton and 42-ounce drink, has been targeted by critics as part of the cause of a growing obesity crisis in the United States.

McDonald's said in a prepared statement that drinks will still be available as a promotional option.

The Super Size fries contain 610 calories, 29 grams of fat, 390 milligrams of sodium and 77 grams of carbohydrates, according to analysts.

Buy 2 ...hell no the point of supersize is to get your moneys worth ... 2 burgers = more money spent on food ..

I was stunned when I heard this. This is the dumbest thing I've heard this year I think.

Every time I've ordered supersize fries there it's been no more fries than I'd get in a large anyhow. The container is larger, but it's not completely filled so it's pretty much an equal amount of fries.

I do like that McDonalds is trying to spin this like they actually care about people's health and not like they've realized they can fleece more money out of people.

The only thing good at McDonalds is the chicken tenders.

Actually, the fries and drinks are where they get you. That crap is expensive.

No shit! Why can I get a Big&Tasty with large fries and a large sprite, for cheaper than a freakin salad? Why? The same reason the OJ is so damn expensive and the grilled chicken is the highest priced meal. Bastards.

Oh and hey! I think I might be coming back to PS.

If you're getting a hambuger, yes. If you're getting a 1/4 w/cheese meal, no.

Why the hell would you go to McDonald's for a salad? If you want to eat healthy here's a hint: Don't go to a fastfood place. That's like going to the grocery store to buy a PC.
