You missed my point entirely. You made it seem like my position was a conspiracy nut rant that Ronald McDonald is part of a scheme to get kids to eat fatty foods. No, it's not about the fatty foods, it's about higher demand for crappier product - more money at any cost.
Making money is fine, but doing it by pushing death substances to kids and calling it food the way McDonald's and other "kids food" corporations do?

Death substances?
Water over consumed can kill you, shall we call it a death substance as well?
A business is about money, that is the point of it.
They sell a fast food product that is cheap and in many peoples eyes tasty.
They use a mascot as a theme, a common application in many business to promote it. Being that going out to the burger/frosty place was a family affair in our past, they marketed on that within their theme, first speedy, then Bozo, then Ronald when they went national.
I seriously doubt it had any nefarious purpose other than a fun way to promote their business. The families like, the kids like it.
Yet this is everything to which ant-capitalists hate.
Though a picture of Mao the murder, or a fashionable Che Guevara the butcher accessory is far more accepted these days I guess. /shrug
Ronald McDonaldmay be out of a job soon if a team of health professionals, parents, and other advocates have their way.
The activist coalition -- called Corporate Accountability International -- is pushing for an early retirement for the McDonald's fictional spokesperson. It's reasoning? Ronald has too much influence on kids and is contributing to the fast food industry childhood obesity crisis.
If an unemployed Ronald McDonald seems inconceivable, remember that Corporate Accountability International was the group that successfully pushed Joe Camel of Camel Cigarettes into retirement.
I would not shed a single tear if Ronald McDonald and a million other obnoxious corporate mascots disappeared. But I would rather see them go away because they become unprofitable (i.e. hated and villified by a public that is actually aware of when they and their kids are being spoon-fed from a crock of s&*^! in an attempt to get their money out their wallets), not because the government tried yet again to legislate stupidity.

Lets just put all McDonalds employees out of work because of fat children.
Its their fault your child is fat.
Don't worry about their jobs, they can always collect welfare.
Make a nice pot of vegetable soup for them and live with the fear that they will be poisoned by the pesticides or a nice pot of chicken soup that has its own horror story, like filthy diseased chickens.
Follow that with a nice cold glass of milk filled with hormones that has been described as body fluids.
Before bed give them a nice bottled water that has been sitting in plastic for years, whatever you do, DO NOT give them tap water! It may have a trace of chlorine. Of course there is no proof that the bottled water wasn't filled with tap water but at least you can contribute to destroying the planet.
For breakfast you can give them whatever you feel is safe but be very careful to wash your hands after pealing the bannana because the peal is saturated with rat urine.
For lunch you can try and figure out something that has absolutely no fat but it will be tough, try peanut butter for the protein but watch out for bacteria and well, you know, just try not to think about the fat and then there is the jelly situation with all that sugar! Oh no, well slice up some strawberries but GET OFF ALL THE PESTICIDES!!
It would be nice if you could throw in an apple but the problem with that?
It does no good to peel it, yep, the pesticides go under the skin.
So anyway, hope for the best but whatever you do, DON'T throw in those little baby carrots. They are soaked and cleaned with formaldehyde. I don't know, mac and cheese in a thermos? Well now they say it is not cheese. Lunch meat? They say it is worse than McDonalds. Tuna Fish? Oh they don't like it besides there is probably something wrong with that too.
As far as their birthday, can we bake them a cake?
I'm so tired from thinking about it that I need to drive through McDonalds and get a cup of coffee. I hope they haven't been closed down..
It's pretty sad when parents can't say no and blame others.
That's the trend, blame others for your own inadequacies such as those that that will never be rich because they spend too much time sitting on their ass complaining about rich people.
I find two private organizations having a peeing match to be amusing. I don't have a horse in this race as I do not own McDonalds stock or eat there and I have never contributed to the opposition. If I were to place a bet it would not be on Ronnie McD.
