Happy Meal Hell

According to an article on CNN, "a nutrition watchdog group is threatening to sue McDonald's if the fast-food giant won't stop using toys to lure children to its Happy Meals." The litigation director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest said, "McDonald's is the stranger in the playground handing out candy to children. It's a creepy and predatory practice that warrants an injunction." Dude just compared McDonald's to a child molester. Gloves off!



If they are going through with this, they might as well send demolition crews to knock down the playgrounds, too. Seriously. I take my kids to McDonald's pretty sporadically. Pretty much only when the weather is super hot or super cold. Kids need playtime even when weather conditions are bad. There aren't many inexpensive places to go for entertainment. Why aren't they attacking Chuck E. Cheese and their terrible, inedible pizza? FYI-We don't go to McDonald's for the shitty toys or the shitty food. Know your enemy, CSPI.

About Me

Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
It shocks me how old I am. I always thought I would die in my early 30s. I hope I am wrong. I have a family that loves me that I ought to pay more attention to. I like to write and read and think.
Right now, snickerdoodles and macaroons are battling it out for cookie dominance in my household.
