My kids did not dictate where or what we ate. I thought that was the parent's responsibility.

And while these responsibility shirking id10ts are trying to get rid of Ronald McDonald, they totally ignore the good that has been done under that name - http://rmhc.org/who-we-are/our-history/

When our kids were little, even if we ate at fast food, they often didn't get the meal that included a toy. Now that my grandson is of the age in question, he doesn't want to go for Ronald OR for the toy but for the play place!

It's still the parents' (or grandparents') decision as to where to eat.

When did we decide that we wanted to force corporations to raise our kids and save us from ourselves? This is crazy....

Some things I agree with......keeping lead out of paint that goes on kids toys, for example.....we can't see that nor should we have to test for it....but regulating what a company can offer our children to eat.......waste of peoples time and effort.

I agree.
This is crazy.
This has been their marketing for years and years.
Why didn't they take issue originally?

They didn't take issue because there were other things to take issue with. Now it is time to beat up McDonald's...
