McDonald's Snack Wraps are back. Are they healthy?

USA Today5 days ago
After months of teasing, the McDonald's Snack Wrap has officially returned to restaurants nationwide.
The beloved menu item, which was phased out nationally in 2016, is available in two flavors: spicy and ranch.
Customers can get the Snack Wrap a la carte or as a combo meal, which includes two Snack Wraps, a medium fry and a drink of choice. The wrap costs $2.99 a la carte.
The Snack Wrap will be available daily after breakfast hours.
As fans rush to get a fresh taste of the wrap's much anticipated return, here's what to know about their calories and nutritional information − and how they compare to a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

Megachurch pastor John MacArthur dead: 'His faith became sight'

LOS ANGELES – John MacArthur, the 86-year-old pastor of a Los Angeles megachurch, died after being hospitalized with pneumonia, his church announced July 14. "This evening, his faith became sight. He faithfully endured until his race was run," Grace to You, the media ministry he founded, posted on X Monday night. MacArthur, pastor of Grace Community Church in the working-class community of Sun Valley since 1969, contracted pneumonia last week, associate Pastor Tom Patton told the congregation at a July 13 service. "He was admitted into the hospital and may be in the presence of the Lord soon," Patton said. "We place our dear pastor at the feet of the glorious savior, whom he has served so faithfully for so many years and now awaits his final command to be in his presence forever." MacArthur, like some other preachers across the U.S., catapulted into the public spotlight during the COVID-19 pandemic when he hosted large gatherings despite city policies to limit congregations to small numbers outside. MacArthur is survived by his wife Patricia, their children, 15 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. USA TODAY has reached out to Grace Community Church. Jimmy Swaggart dead at 90: Televangelist dies weeks after going into cardiac arrest Pastor John MacArthur's death draws reaction The announcement of MacArthur's death drew an outpouring from those that followed him "He was my spiritual father as a teen in 1979," Randy Robertson posted to the announcement of the death on Facebook. "Under his expository preaching on Sundays and Wednesdays the foundation of my new faith was firmly established." Adam Boyer added, "Praise the Lord for an exemplary life of faithfulness and service to Christ, whom he is now seeing face to face. Every day I want to be more like the man John MacArthur was." Happy birthday, Pastor John! Pastor MacArthur's diagnosis comes days after televangelist Jimmy Swaggart died The news comes after the weekend the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart was buried in Louisiana. A global televangelist in the 1980s before an adultery scandal diminished his influence, died on July 8 in a Baton Rouge hospital. Swaggart, who was 90, never regained consciousness following a heart attack in his home June 15. His publicist told USA TODAY he died surrounded by family and loved ones.

Watch paraglider strike power line, crash into North Dakota river

A paraglider escaped with no injuries after he struck a power line and fell into North Dakota's Red River. Video footage filmed by onlooker Dusty Howlett shows the electric paramotor-operated parachute spark as it collides with powerlines, sending a loud boom echoing on July 8. The parachute, along with the paraglider, then drops into the river in Grand Forks. 'Whoa, oh no!' Howlett can be heard yelling in the video as the paraglider crashes into the river. Emergency crews were later seen retrieving the wreckage from the water. Watch paraglider strike power line, crash in river in North Dakota Paraglider 'flew way too low,' says witness Howlett, in a Facebook post, said he was on a walk with a friend when "this guy in a powered parachute flew way too low" and didn't see the power line. 'He landed in the river and was waving and talking to us - water rescue is here now, so hopefully he will be ok," Howlett continued. "If you have a recreational aircraft, please be careful and pay attention to your surroundings!' Responding to a comment on the post, Howlett said the paraglider was "thankfully" okay. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Boat rescue pulled paraglider from water, officials say Lt. Travis M. Benson with the Grand Forks Police Department told USA TODAY on July 14 that the pilot had been flying low along the Red River and, due to the sun obscuring his vision, could not see the overhead power lines "until it was too late." "He attempted to drop beneath them but struck the wires instead," said Benson. Benson said that though the paraglider dropped straight down into the river, he was able to stay afloat until help arrived due to the buoyancy of the craft's wheels. Grand Forks Fire Department, in a July 8 news release, said that a rescue boat was launched into the river and crews found the paraglider uninjured. The paraglider, whose identity was not revealed, was uninjured in the incident. Saman Shafiq is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.
