Deception=Death

McDonalds=Deception=Death is what it comes down to. McDeath gears their ads towards kids who are excited by the free toys, play rooms and by the idea of Ronald McDonald, that happy ol' clown. So they bug their parents to take them to McD's, they grow up eating greasy fries and cow-burgers and when they grow up, they are obese, get heart disease and die from heart attacks. McDonald's denies that they serve unhealthy food, yet every health organization from the American Heart Assocation to the nutrition councils recommend a low-fat, low-cholestrol diet rich in vegetables, grains and fruits and very low in animal products, particularly full-fat ones like beef. We need to launch a massive campaign targeting elementary and middle-school-age kids to show them the truth about the food they are taught to eat...... Not to over-moralize or tell them what they're doing is right or wrong, but to present them with the facts so they can make educated, unbiased decisions.
