The McDonald's executive team has faced a turbulent period. Last month Jim Cantalupo, the chief executive, died of an apparent heart attack.
A week later Japanese billionaire Den Fujita, the man who established the McDonald's fast food chain in Japan, died of heart failure.
A week after that McDonald's newly named chief executive, Charlie Bell, underwent colorectal cancer surgery.
These recent events could explain why McDonald's is introducing the Go Active meal.
Go Active is part of McDonald's balanced lifestyles initiative and is supposed to promote physical activity, or so says the company.
Bloomberg reports the meal includes the choice of a premium salad, bottled water or drink of choice, a stepometer and a fun, informative booklet that provides walking and exercising tips.
John Betts, the vice-president and general manager of McDonald's Michigan region, said it was "the first Happy Meal for adults".
