although i do not agree with the idea of multinationals, i cannot say that i think mcd's is committing any crime by marketing thier product. after all, it is we the consumers that keep buying it. if you are on a low fat diet and you make a quick stop at mcd's, they are not responsible for your failure. you are.

just the same, if you were to take a gun into school and shoot the kids who made fun of you, it would not be the guns fault, or classmates fault, the fault would be your's.

i think we are exaggerating this whole mcd's thing here. how is thier operation different from any other bussiness trying to raise thier profits?

McSpotlight: Do you consider that a child less than eight years old has the discrimination to judge adverts objectively? That's the market sector that McDonald's advertises to.
