Ronald is not responsible for bad parenting and bad choices by parents and adults. You want to talk about McDonalds then lets talk how much they do for thsi country by way of "Ronald McDonald Houses"?

What does the Ronald McDonald house have to do with whether or not their food is healthy? Enron was actively involved in giving back to the community through charitable giving before its demise. Did that lessen the harm they caused? No.

I think it has to do with moderation. Fast foods are great for an “ocassional treat” or a reward for something. It is the haibt of fast foods being eaten daily or several times a week that are dangerous.

Obesity, I think, is more the lack of exercise than anything else. When I was a kid we had cereal for breakfast and then we went outside and PLAYED..All day, everyday (except when in school) we played..Ran, jumped, skipped, made mud pies, jumped rope, etc…Show me kids that do that today? Todays kids sit and play video games all day and then still want McDonalds every night.

Put the bla,e where it belongs and it doesn’t belong on McDonalds…Ronald is not responsible for bad parenting and bad choices by parents and adults. You want to talk about McDonalds then lets talk how much they do for thsi country by way of “Ronald McDonald Houses”? Do you still know what those are?

Perhaps they mean benefits in the sense that you’re getting fed. Fast food is better for you than starving to death, right?

“Fast food actually has benefits if eaten occasionally”
What, exactly, are the benefits of eating fast food occasionally?
