Passage Four
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Each day, 50,000 shiny, fire-engine-red apples work their way through a sprawling factory in Swedesboro, N.J. Inside, 26 machines wash them, core them, peel them, seed them, slice them and chill them. At the end of the line, they are deposited into little green bags featuring a jogging Ronald McDonald.
From there, the bags make their way in refrigerated trucks to thousands of McDonald’s restaurants up and down the Eastern Seaboard. No more than 14 days after leaving the plant, the fruit will take the place of French fries in some child’s Happy Meal.
The apple slices, called Apple Dippers, are a symbol of how McDonald’s is trying to offer healthier food to its customers — and to answer the many critics who contend that most of its menu is of poor nutritional quality.
It remains to be seen whether these new offerings will assuage the concerns of public health officials and other critics of McDonald’s highly processed fat — and calorie — laden sandwiches, drinks and fries. So far, they have not — at least not entirely. But this much is already clear: Just as its staple burger-and-fries meals have made McDonald’s the largest single buyer of beef and potatoes in the country, its new focus on fresh fruits and vegetables is making the company a major player in the $80 billion American produce industry.
The potential impact goes beyond dollars and cents. Some people believe that McDonald’s could influence not only the volume, variety and prices of fruit and produce in the nation but also how they are grown.
