As much as I agree with activists who want McDonald's to “stop marketing junk food to children," I do worry about the unintended consequences of sending the clown the way of Joe Camel. As awful as it is for children to endure a lifetime of morbid obesity, imagine the psychological damage they'll incur when they seen Ronald McDonald in the unemployment line with Mom and Dad. It's enough to make a kid take up smoking ... which just might help keep his/her weight down.

Why is McDonald's under fire for child obesity? It's the lazy parents who don't know how to cook a balanced meal for their kids that are to blame. Trust me, if the kids are overweight, the parents usually are, too.
I doubt kids even know who McDonald is. If they want to keep kids from going to fast food restaurants they should take away the playgrounds, you really don't see kids going to places that don't have them. But then how would they get there exercise?
