so we should shut down fastfood joints, corner stores, and wing joints because they promote obesity?

we should shut down the video game market because kids are no longer active?

we should shut down the TV stations for shortening our attention spans and raising us as illiterate rapper wannabes?

we should close down all automobile manufacturing because they don't promote safe driving by increasing safety aids?

you guys are basically saying that because they promote something that we should shut it down because we as humans are too stupid to take responsibility for our own actions?

I agree, that there's a certain amount of social responsibility involved... someone has to look after the kids... but look at it this way.. McDonald's is actually reaching out to kids who's parents have copped out by buying fastfood and letting the computer babysit them.

I think the saddest thing of all is not that McDonald's is trying to melevolently market it's food to kids, but that they have to go to this avenue to teach the kids what parents should be teaching them.

Yes, McDonalds food makes you fat... yes, they market it to you, but they're a business for chrissakes... This isn't McDonald's acting like the cigarrette companies telling you that smoking is actually good for you.
