What would you assume is the least likely advice that a fast food chain like McDonald's would give to its staff? Probably not the one a certain website is giving.
A McDonald's website has advised its employees against hamburgers, fries, and sodas as a way of providing resources, the Wire reported.
The latest in a series of strange pieces of advice provided by the fast food company to its employees was first noticed by CNBC.
"While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle," McDonalds says of its primary product, "fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight."
"In general, people with high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease must be very careful about choosing fast food because of its high fat, salt, and sugar levels," it continues.
The content is taken from a third party, A.D.A.M., Inc., credited at the bottom of the page, CNBC reported. You can browse similar advice from the company on eating healthy here.
The company will examine the content in question, said a spokesperson for McDonald's.
Here's another example:
The message above doesn't quite condemn the idea of fast food offerings as a whole. Instead it suggests that it is "not impossible" to eat healthy foods at a fast food restaurant.
It's just "more of a challenge."
Even though McDonald's sells salads, the company is also closely associated to its burger and fries staples. This generic "fast food" image in the advice graphic is shown wearing a distinctive McDonald's red.
As ironic as it seems, the bigger question revolves around McDonald's employees and their plight to afford healthier food on the wages they earn.
McDonald's also advises employees to break their food up into smaller pieces to stave off hunger and stretch their food budgets. Regarding holiday advice, workers should return their Christmas presents for a refund to boost their budgets. And then there's the company's budget advice to its minimum wage workers: get a second job to cover living expenses, according to the Wire.
