The creepy, too-smiley clown that teaches children that eating disgusting food that makes you fat equals a free toy that was made in China, may soon be sent to the same place as Joe the Camel. That's right, Ronald McDonald may be forced into early retirement. As more information is being released about the dangers of fast food, more and more people are beginning to see that our children need to be protected from the ruthless marketing of companies that sell products that will ultimately lead to diabetes, and potential early death. Corporate Accountability International is a coalition of health professionals, parents and corporate accountability advocates and they are calling on the world's largest restaurant chain to retire Ronald McDonald for good. They say that the character has too much influence on kids. This group also helped retire Joe the Camel from Camel Cigarettes.
Corporate Accountability International is throwing a retirement party for Ronald McDonald in downtown Chicago today. This is the first of many events they have planned to force the restaurant giant to retire their "chief happiness officer". (via Chicago Tribune)
These fast food companies are selling food that is literally addictive and causes too many health problems to count (watch Super Size Me for proof if you don't already know). Their shameless marketing to children must stop. If the health and obesity problem in this country is ever going to be changed, we have to start with education in the home and school. How can parents and teachers compete with a clown? How are children supposed to eat healthy when Ronald McDonald is telling them to come to McDonald's? Children are essentially being rewarded with cheap toys for eating bad food. You can't compete with that.
And honestly, a world without Ronald McDonald would be a better place for everyone, not just kids. Now every time you walk into McDonald's to spend $7 on an early death, you won't have to be smiled at by your worst fear: a clown.
WEZ SEZ: Ronald McDonald - it's time to retire for good.
