Burger King’s ‘Real Meals’ are about more than trolling McDonald’s. They’re about mental health.

By Rachel Siegel Rachel Siegel National business reporter Email Bio Follow May 2 at 4:30 PM “All I ask is that you let me feel my way.”

Though the campaign may not encourage everyone to seek help, experts say, it could spark conversations around depression, anxiety and other disorders, especially among teens and young adults. More than 44 million U.S. adults experience some form of mental illness, according to Mental Health America, and youth rates are on the rise.

Celebrities have also had a hand in raising awareness around mental health. On Thursday morning, “Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek, who is battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer, said that chemotherapy has brought on “deep, deep sadness.” Cancer treatment can be unpredictable, he said, adding that “there’s nothing wrong in saying I’m really depressed today and I have no idea why.” Other public figures — from Lady Gaga to Catherine Zeta-Jones to J.K.

GMO free or not for me

For a minute there I thought they were gonna start serving vegetables with their 'meals.'

I'm surprised Burger King is still open, they're a real dump.

How about actual nutrition health? Or is that too much to ask

Then I KNOW realDonaldTrump your test Dummy..

If the 'pissed' burger doesn't wash away your blues, look up my friend Lenny. More at Life On Earth the web series:

They are not about mental health. They are about immediate feelings.there is a big difference. Do you think People wanna wake up fighting depression(etc) every day? No.We don’t.That commercial was purely about feeling the way you feel in the moment.Stop diminishing mental health

Mental Health is now about getting a kids meal with DGAF?

McDonalds,Get onion rings or im gonna cry.

You are reading too much into this.

you lost me at real meals !

Saw BurgerKing commercial for these online today. Totally grossed me out. Couldn't pay me to eat that garbage. Why would they want to make eating their food even worse than it already is. Strange.

Until BurgerKing commits to paying living wages and providing affordable health care, this is a sham, full stop

Isn't that the shit Trump tries to feed all those athletes. Burger King must really suck.
