Got as far as "They basic idea..." Realized they can't proofread and therefore is not worth the time. |

Only in America can someone accuse advertising of "circumventing parental control" and not be laughed at. |

McDonald's french fries are hardly potatoes...
Truth there @LillianDulci! They're processed potato-like fried... thingies!
It's quite an achievement in human history that more people are dying in our society from abundance rather than starving to death.
@xiquiripat: profound! And true too!
for your spherical offspring...
LMAO! @LazyMe! Oh that was great! |

Whatever. If I buy my son a happy meal it is because I BOUGHT it. He didn't. I eat fast food about two-three times a week and I'm not fat by any means. Fast food is not the enemy, it's fat lazy drats. |

Squrlz: Kids in the 80s had all those sugary drinks as well, but we played outside, ran, rode our bicycles, played games, etc...
Whatever sugar we ingested was exercised out of us through outside play. Kids today don't play outside enough, either because of their parents fear of pedos or their laziness to make them go outside and play and watch them. |

Well obvisouly we parents can't be responsible for allowing our kids to eat there. This has made me mad enough to take away the car keys from my 6 year old! |

mcdonalds is some nasty crap. actual 'meals' tastes like poo, only go there for cheap drinks/icecream.
if people dont want their kids to be fat and under mcd's spell then dont take them there in the first place! |

Child obesity, blah blah blah
3 Billion in sales, blah blah blah
Parents, don't take your kids to McDonald's! Besides, all those kids are going to grow up to be comedians anyway. Don't fat kids always endup the Class Clown? |

I thought I was done, but I'm not. LOL. (Clearly, this topic is a hot button for me.)
Here's a great example of the kind of crap product and crap marketing that helped turn an entire generation of young Americans into lard-butts. (Link) |

Eating fruit in its whole form is healthy and should be encouraged. Drinking fruit juice by itself is unhealthy and should be eliminated from children's diets or discouraged. And absolutely *no one*, excepting marathon runners, should have sugar water drinks on their shopping lists.

The #1 culprit for childhood obesity in the USA, in my opinion, is the prevalence of the idea that giving your children 100% natural fruit juice (or worse: sugar water drinks masquerading as juice) *ad libitum* is a great thing to do.
Fruit juice has generally had all the fiber removed. It is high-calorie and full of sugar (fructose if real juice, HFCS if not).
Have you ever seen the fruit juice glasses used by our grandparents? You know, the generation that won the Second World War and were in generally far trimmer shape than we are today? They understood that drinking fruit juice is akin to having candy and their juice glasses were about the capacity of two or three shot glasses. They'd have a large "shot" of OJ with breakfast (to boost the blood sugar levels quickly) and that was usually it for the day.
Today, every toddler I see seems to be biologically connected with a juice box.

Kids only get fat if you feed them more calories in a day than their body needs. These meals are only 510 calories, which isn't very much at all for a fast food item. Sure it isn't a very nutritious item I will definitely give you that but that doesn't make the kid fat. You feeding your kid pizza, pop, and donuts on top of a happpy meal is what makes them fat. Take some responsibility for your own terrible parenting skills first because even if they banned happy meals your kid would still be fat because than you would just feed them other crap to make up for it. |

It's no surprize at all that McDonalds gives out more toys per year than Toys-R-Us. I don't think Toys-R-Us every GIVES away toys! |

It's the parents' fault. Cook food for your kids. Stop being lazy. And when they whine and beg for some fast food, just tell them NO. Stop being push overs. |
