The McDonald's Thread: 'Happy Meal Outrage' Edition

[Obi-Ron]

This thread shows Captain Crook no respect. :csad:

[PureImagination]

Mayor McCheese

[Alchemyst]

I saw the title of this thread and knew immediately that it had terry written all over it.

lol

[Mr.Webs]

Are Mayor McCheese and Big Mac related? Big Mac is Mayor McCheese's shunned, bastard child, who was swept underneath the rug during the last political election. It's a gritty, delicious world they live in.:oldrazz:

Actually McDonalds hired Christopher Nolan to head up marketing and he thought that Ronald would work better alone :o

[Spidey-Bat]

What about the McNuggets?

Wheels' nickname isn't patronizing at all.

Those were the good ol' days when the PC police weren't running around telling us that it is offensive for a handicapped character to be called "Wheels."

[hippie_hunter]

The Grimace deserved to die. I hated that bastard.

Mostly because I don't know what the **** he is :(

[redmarvel]

Birdie and the Hamburgler - though there is no McDumbDumbs character that would actually entice me into eating in that joint

[JustABill]

Wasn't there a cartoon made with the BK kids group? I only vaguely remember something like that.

[Immortalfire]

I wonder whatever happened to the BK kids...they're probably living under a bridge somewhere.

[Catman]

I wonder whatever happened to the BK kids...they're probably living under a bridge somewhere.

Along with the fired McDonald's supporting cast.

[Ipodman]

Wasn't there a cartoon made with the BK kids group? I only vaguely remember something like that.

I remember a cartoon somewhere too...

I remember I had a toy of that skateboard guy and played with it often because I liked those one-piece shades. Cool :woot:

[Scourge2099]

I wonder whatever happened to the BK kids...they're probably living under a bridge somewhere.
I came up with two possible scenarios of whatever happened to the BK kids. 1.) They made a suicide pact.
2.) The Burger King killed them all.

Yeah mother****er they do!!!!

I like to think that they live like the New Gods did in Grant Morrison's Seven Soldiers :awesome:

My friend dressed up as the Hamburglar last Halloween, and stole a burger from McDonald's :awesome::up:

I remember thinking Kid Vid was the man back in the day. Those glasses are so badass. He's like a cool Cyclops.

Yea I thought he was cool too. I had forgotten where he was from until I saw the pic. Thats right... Burger King!

[Catman]

I remember thinking Kid Vid was the man back in the day.

Back in the `90s, all it took to look cool was a backward cap and some cool shades.

[Drizzle]

The Grimace deserved to die. I hated that bastard.

Mostly because I don't know what the **** he is :(
I'm pretty sure he is the physical embodiment of diabetes.

[Ipodman]

Back in the `90s, all it took to look cool was a backward cap and some cool shades.

Either one, actually.

[Catman]

Either one, actually.

No, you needed both. JUST wearing cool Ray-Bans is an `80s thing. The `90s added the backwards baseball cap.

[Ipodman]

No, you needed both. JUST wearing cool Ray-Bans is an `80s thing. The `90s added the backwards baseball cap.

I guess I'm not the one to ask about these things... :dry:

[Rain Dog]

So after reading through this thread I did some research on the Grimace to answer the age-old question, "What the **** is the Grimace?" Apparently, he was originally a four-armed monster that stole milkshakes and sodas and was originally called "Evil Grimace." And then, somewhere along the line, he lost a pair of arms and became retarded.

[TNC9852002]

NOOO!!! Nothing can kill the Grimace!

[Immortalfire]

So what do they call you? Wheels?

Yeah mother****er they do!!!!

LOL


OMG...a commercial!

[TNC9852002]

If anyone had the VHS for TMNT2, they know that commercial very well.. :p

[Kane52630]

you've probably have seen this but here is the original video showing this incident

A security video from a McDonald's in Ohio shows a woman punching two restaurant employees and smashing a drive-thru window because she couldn't get Chicken McNuggets.

The tantrum caught on tape in Toledo earlier this year shows the customer reaching through the drive-thru window, slugging one worker and then another. She then grabs a bottle out of her car and tosses it through the glass window before speeding off.

It happened early on New Year's Day. Police say Melodi Dushane was angry that McNuggets weren't being served, because it was breakfast time.

Dushane says she was drunk at the time. She was sentenced to 60 days in jail last month and ordered to pay McDonald's for the broken window.

The video was released Monday when it became public record.

Shoulda gone to Wendy's :o

[Morg]

Shoulda gone to Wendy's :o

They are not open that early :p

[Schlosser85]

Woman wanted her Nuggets, lol.

[terry78]

They are not open that early :p

What happened to their late night craving thing or whatever? Some people have this notion that fast food places are like restaurants that serve breakfast and dinner food constantly.

[Hotwire]

I love how the next car just pulls on up. I think after witnessing that, I'd just go ahead and leave.

[SpideyVille]

you've probably have seen this but here is the original video showing this incident



wlbV-NPT56s
I find it hilarious how the car behind pulls up and the lady gives them the order as if nothing happened.

[Dew k. Mosi]

Try not to post videos with swearing please. If it is censored in text, we don't want it uncensored in audio.

[Metamorpho1977]

you've probably have seen this but here is the original video showing this incident



wlbV-NPT56s

I could understand the outburst for some Chick Fil A nuggets, but not McDonald's nuggets.

[Mister J]

I'm glad this was the same report cited earlier this year. If this happened twice, yeesh. :doh:

At least the next guy got his order promptly with no fuss. Now, that's customer service. Some fly-by-night fast food joint would have shut down, but not Mickey D's baby.

[webhead731]

Man, if I was working there I'd have broken her arm, punched her face, then pulled her in and slammed the window on her multiple times. :o

[Mace Dolex]

The employee would avoided having the customer reach out if they only had put a gate during late hours like most McDonald's do.

[TNC9852002]

She's bashing up your windows, snatching your nuggets up, trying to eat them--so you better hide your sauce, hide your fries, and hide your drink too because they're smashing errthing up here

[Haff]

If she was drunk at the time she probably got drunk driving charges added to the assault.

[Metamorpho1977]

I worked at Burger King one time and me and some friends were joking. The lady at the window thought we were laughing at her. We weren't, but she started cussing at us. Then the manager told her not to cuss her employees then threw the coke out the window at her and told her to get lost and not come back.

[SpideyVille]

She's bashing up your windows, snatching your nuggets up, trying to eat them--so you better hide your sauce, hide your fries, and hide your drink too because they're smashing errthing up here

Holy ****! Kid Vid has a burger-ray! That guy just gets cooler and cooler.

Also, I love the unnecessary whooshing noise when Wheels spins around in his chair.

[Scourge2099]

I love McNuggets , but not as much as that lady.

[katie_girl09]

What do they put in those things that people get so nuts over them??

[Scourge2099]

I have no idea. All I know is I can't get enough of those things.

[Metamorpho1977]

What do they put in those things that people get so nuts over them??

crack?

[Manic]

Damn, lady. Go to Denny's and IHOP like a normal drunk.

[NotAHenchwench]

What do they put in those things that people get so nuts over them??

Cocaine probably.


No, seriously. :dry:

[terry78]

Alcohol and customer service do not mix.

[E-Man]

Damn you! I almost couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard!:hehe:

I just noticed the kids name is ''Wheels''....:doh:

[TNC9852002]

I mean, they were meant to appeal to first graders..

[Rain Dog]

What is up with the BK names...Jaws? Lingo?

I vaguely remember the name "Jaws" having something to do with how much he ate. And they went with "Lingo" because...I have no idea. Because it's vaguely mexican?

[Immortalfire]

The Hamburglar was always my favorite. He needs to make a comeback! However, in this PC world we live in some house frau will complain that too many cartoon characters entices kids to run to McDonalds and get fat. :whatever:

It's the reason why the McDonald's characters were retired to begin with.

[K.B.]

Actually it wasn't. They were taken "off market" after a long court battle between Sid and Marty Krofft and the McDonalds people. Seems MacD's stole many concepts off of the brothers and refused them some well earned moneys.

[AndThePickles]

Ha, I just finished telling a coworker about this. SO glad I don't tend to eat at McDonald's, ugh.

[JustABill]

Yeahhh, never eating at McDonalds again.

[katie_girl09]

Oh. My. Goodness.

McDonald's is unhealthy? What?!

[PyroChamber]

Only time I go to McDonald's is to play that Monoploy game, I wonder if she ended up giving the food to someone else.

[AndThePickles]

Oh. My. Goodness.

McDonald's is unhealthy? What?!

I knew it was unhealthy, but something that won't decompose takes it to a whole 'nother level :dry:

[JustABill]

I love how McDonalds has a qoute about how the burger had to be tampered with or frozen, but it WASN'T by them. :rolleyes:

[JStorm]

Gross.

[THE MR. TERRIFIC]

That's Nizastay!!

[the_ultimate_evil]

easily faked, but wouldn't surprise me

[enterthemadness]

I used to smoke and use oral tobacco every now and then, this doesn't gross me out. Food is food. That being said...mcgriddles are tasty but so much grease I feel ugh after eating one.

[Carcharodon]

Food is food.That's a rather unhealthy attitude to have.

[enterthemadness]

That's a rather unhealthy attitude to have.

Enters one way and exists another is another way to put it...

[Carcharodon]

Enters one way and exists another is another way to put it......yeah, I stand by my original statement. What happens in-between is what you need to be concerned with.

If you ate dirt, it would do the same thing.

[enterthemadness]

...yeah, I stand by my original statement. What happens in-between is what you need to be concerned with.

Don't some people eat dirt or mud in parts of world? Like they just add sugar to it? I'm being serious.

[Carcharodon]

I wouldn't doubt it. You can supplement your diet with it to obtain minerals, depending on the mud and the amount you eat. There are birds and probably other animals out there that do the same thing.

[Scourge2099]

This article won't change my fast food eating habits. Yesterday I had a McGriddle and I was in heaven. I want to be buried with a McGriddle when I die.:awesome:

[enterthemadness]

I'm curious how a place like Taco Bell or Burger King will hold up to a test like this btw. Wendys on other hand gets their meat daily I think...

[Carcharodon]

This article won't change my fast food eating habits. Yesterday I had a McGriddle and I was in heaven. I want to be buried with a McGriddle when I die. Which would be fitting, considering they'll probably help put you there. :oldrazz:

[Scourge2099]

I don't eat fast food everyday though. I'm trying to be smart with my money. I've been working odd jobs to help keep my checking account afloat , but I don't have an actual 9 to 5 job so I have to change my spending habits.

[Carcharodon]

I hear ya, man.

[Spidey_62]

I'm glad I pretty much gave up fast food years ago.

My dad used to drive a truck to McDonald's burger suppliers in the 80s. He said it was ground up earthworm on the trucks that he was delivering.

[Carcharodon]

My dad used to drive a truck to McDonald's burger suppliers in the 80s. He said it was ground up earthworm on the trucks that he was delivering.In all honesty, that would probably be healthier than the food we get from McD's. I'm not even kidding.

[JustABill]

I love how McDonalds get flak and tagged as the unhealthiest of fast food restaurants but more and more studies are showing it's one of the healthiest compared to others such as Taco Bell, Applebee's, Red Robin, etc.

[Carcharodon]

Worse things going on in the world than Fast Food being bad for you.

[SuperFerret]

Eh, that's why they call them preservatives.

[Schlosser85]

How do we know all those identical pictures are from 27 different days?

That said, saying McDonald's and fast food in general is unhealthy is kind of like saying the sky is blue and water is wet.

[SuperFerret]

Of course fast food is unhealthy. I just don't like all the liars who say that they don't eat it.

[JustABill]

I hate people who try to force their own ''YOU CAN'T EAT FAST FOOD!" agenda around. It always happens in a McDonalds thread. ALWAYS.

Controlling fast food isn't going to make fat people cease to exist, chances are the food they eat at home is even worse, so it's a stupid thing to argue.

[Manic]

Fast Food
Bad for you, but tastes oh so good

[Carcharodon]

I don't see any of that in this thread.

[SuperFerret]

Read some of your own posts dude.

[JustABill]

Your own words speak it for you. You even said something about controlling fast food. Taking away the fast food restaurants isn't going to control people's overeating. You can make fattening burgers, fried chicken, donuts, and more in the comfort of your own home!

[The Apocalypse]

....which isn't saying much. At all.

All those places are ****ing delicious (well McDonalds being on the bottom of that list) so stop hating on them. Who cares if they're bad for your health. A lot of **** we do is but we do it anyway. If you go to these places every once in a while so what but unless you're having that once a day then people need to stop complaining about how 'unhealthy' they are. Go vegan or something.

[Manic]

Go vegan or something.

No one should ever go vegan.










Kidding. Sorta.

[Ghostvirus]

There is no doubt in my mind this is fake. There is no way this is possible. I don't care how much the burgers are tampered with. Which they are.

[Manic]

I'm not so sure this is fake. Anyone else ever accidentally dropped and lost a french fry between the seats of their car, only to find that fry perfectly in tact weeks or months later?

What draws my suspicion is the bun. Surely it'd be moldy as hell.

[Ghostvirus]

I love how McDonalds get flak and tagged as the unhealthiest of fast food restaurants but more and more studies are showing it's one of the healthiest compared to others such as Taco Bell, Applebee's, Red Robin, etc.

It is the Wal-Mart affect. They are the big cheese so they are more picked on.

I got in a huge debate with a friend because he would shop at Target, but no Wal-Mart. I tried explaining to him that that Target does the same sh**. They just don't get caught.

McDonalds isn't special in the unhealthiness of there food. Plus the whole concept of free will is lost on most people. Just don't eat it. Pretty simple really. & Parents that feed there children so much that they get obese. Well they should be charged with Child abuse.

[Colossal Spoons]

ITT, people who've never seen Supersize Me

[JustABill]

Supersize Me? Really? REALLY? That movie is a really extreme case of eating at McDonalds.

[Manic]

I go to the movies to see people with superpowers or in space ships or with guns (or a combination of those) beat up the bad guys. Take your documentaries that analyze the American way of life and point out the flaws of poor life choices elsewhere, sir.

I saw that ish on my computer sucka

[Ghostvirus]

Plus the dude was a vegetarian. You can't go from one side of a diet to the other in the blink of an eye. It would be unhealthy either way.

[Scar Predator]

easily faked, but wouldn't surprise me

Indeed. I called BS on this "experiment". I worked at McD's years ago and I saw some food that had begun to get moldy within a couple of days in the dumpster behind the restaurant.

[Scar Predator]

Plus the dude was a vegetarian. You can't go from one side of a diet to the other in the blink of an eye. It would be unhealthy either way.

I still can't believe people hail that movie as groundbreaking. He was a guy on a quasi-vegan diet who decided to deluge his system with meat, salt and sugar. Of course his body reacted negatively! DUH! All that movie did was show me that Morgan Spurlock is a reckless attention seeker.

[gap5ewl]

Well, the french fries not decomposing shouldn't surprise anyone. Remember Supersize Me? The guy kept the McDonalds burger and fries in a jar for 6 months. The burger did get moldy but the fries didn't decompose.

[chaseter]

If Chic fil a is bad for me then there is no God and I am going to kill myself.

[The Apocalypse]

No one should ever go vegan.










Kidding. Sorta.

LMAO no. You had it right up there. Unless you hate food, go vegan. And I'm saying this from experience. My ex was vegan and I've come to the conclusion that if you are a vegan you hate food. Ignorant maybe? True, yes. :oldrazz::oldrazz:

[SuperFerret]

Vegetarians should be killed and eaten like all other herbivores. That goes moreso for vegans. :o

LOL!:up:

Not to mention his girlfriend wrote an entire book on how to detoxify your body after something like that. & then you had the TV show he did.

But you can't completely hate on the guy. At least he worked to get famous. There are a lot of celebs now that do sh** & are still famous.

.

I compare Supersize Me to a 30 day alcohol binge. If someone doesn't already know that is stupid and dangerous, that person is a complete moron.

However, I always give credit where it is due. His show 30 days is creative (I've seen a couple of eppys)--and this comes from a person who loathes reality television.

[StrainedEyes]

Super Size Me is a really entertaining/well-made documentary. How else would we all know about that weird dude who eats two Big Macs every day and proposed to his wife in a Mcdonalds parking lot?

Morgan even admits that he still wants a Big Mac if he smells one.

[Carcharodon]

Read some of your own posts dude.You clearly misunderstood my intention. I was speaking out against the attitude expressed by The Immortal! that we should simply ignore what we put into our bodies because there are other, "greater" worries in the world, and the reasoning that "food is food." Come on, now. It's called "context," Ferret. :up:

I eat fast food waaaay more than I should, so please don't think I'm talking down to any of you, like I'm somehow superior in my dietary habits. That's not it at ALL.


Your own words speak it for you. You even said something about controlling fast food.I was talking about self-control. :dry:

Taking away the fast food restaurants isn't going to control people's overeating. You can make fattening burgers, fried chicken, donuts, and more in the comfort of your own home!Good thing I never advocated that course of action. :facepalm:

I couldn't care less - ate it for years, always found it delicious, I know it isn't healthy.

I'm gonna eat it.

Talking about people in general pal.

[Spider-Vader]

[Alex The Great]

Remember when McDonalds was fun? Now its just a guilt trip. DQ, Tims, A&W and Wendy's and Boston Pizza is where I go for food :o

[LOBO3315a]

I really can't eat anything at McDonalds except the chicken nuggets and the fries. Everything else just turns my stomach.

Wendy's is my fast food guilty pleasure (no salt on the fries, plskkthks). I try to limit myself to once a month. The only fast food place I regularly visit is Subway. There are ways to eat healthy at fast food places, but Subway makes it much easier. Because you can tell them what and what not to put on the sammich as they are making it, as well as what type of bread.
You try to do that at McDonalds and you have to wait 3 years to get your food.....

Also, Panago :csad:

[Hotwire]

There is no doubt in my mind this is fake. There is no way this is possible. I don't care how much the burgers are tampered with. Which they are.
I also believe this is fake. Two reasons. One, the bread didn't mold, which it would have. And two, the fries keep moving.

[Carcharodon]

I also believe this is fake. Two reasons. One, the bread didn't mold, which it would have. And two, the fries keep moving.The bread couldn't have agents which prevent molding?

Also, she claims that she didn't keep the plate in one place, and that when she took the plate down from a shelf (or something), the food would shift around. It's actually a plausible explanation, though it is suspicious.

Look at the creases in the top of the bun. They seem to match up, even if the bun's relative position changes. That would be pretty damn hard to replicate.

[Carcharodon]

Talking about people in general pal....while quoting me, as though I'm some sort of example. :funny:

[Immortalfire]

I'm nowhere near being an even semi-regular patron of McDonald's..but I dig the chicken sandwich, tea and apple pie :up:

You named good restaurants.. :funny::funny::funny::funny::funny::funny::funny:

Man, A&W has the best chicken around, I still like those nuggets McDicks have, and those Wendy's spicy nuggets are great as well :o

[JustABill]

I didn't even know A&W had a restaurant.

[Alex The Great]

They do up here :huh:

Have you not had Chik-Fil-A?

Canada doesn't know the joys of Chick-fil-A.

Whatever they're injecting into that ****, I don't wants to know.

Thats odd. When I did that, it had totally decomposed by the next day. :huh:

[the_ultimate_evil]

so the foods bad and now the want to take away the kids toys as well

Let it never be said that San Francisco won’t push the envelope for enforcing green legislation. The latest is a move being made by San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors Land Use Committee to limit (ie ban) the use of children’s toy giveaways in meals that include high levels of fat, sodium and calories. Sure, that ordinance really applies to any restaurant that participates in the practice of getting kids hooked on “comfort food” with toys, but clearly McDonald’s and the historically kid-adored Happy Meal are the primary target.

McDonald’s food is unhealthy. This we know. We also know that McDonald’s makes a huge profit margin from kids. According to Ecolocalizer, McDonald’s takes in between forty and fifty BILLION dollars a year from kids under twelve.





The company then takes in another estimated $670 BILLION from family purchases. That would be why, despite the fact that we’re all trying to eat more healthily and stop childhood obesity in its tracks, McDonald’s actually reported year over year profit increase.



The Land Use Committee (what is that even?) voted 3-0 to move the proposed ordinance forward, and the full Board of Supervisors will vote on it later this month. In what may be political pressure, mayor Gavin Newsom has said he would veto any such bill. We have an opinion, but we’ll keep it to ourselves. However, it’s possible that that opinion involves it not being McDonald’s fault that parents feed their kids poorly and that more effective legislation would be that which made healthier food more accessible.



McDonald’s, however, has gone into aggressive mode (which is rare), taking out a full page ad in the San Francisco Chronicle to do damage control and sending executives to San Francisco for the ever-sketchy “behind closed doors meetings.”



However, the ordinance does specify that if fast food restaurants increased the number of fruits and vegetables and limited the calories in “kids’ meals”, toy marketing would be acceptable.



A recent study showed that kids who participate in growing and making their food develop healthier eating habits. A personal study (ie my own childhood) shows that it takes a long time to outgrow the comfort food connection to a flattened McDonald’s cheeseburger like the kind you got in your happy meal. This legislation seems to address the problem rather than offer a solution to the need for healthy food for kids. However, if nothing else, it’s raising attention

[Ghostvirus]

Why the f**k does McDonalds need to change it menu!!! The food is bad for you. Any intelligent person knows this. If you dont want it. Then don't eat it! It is that simple. Stop asking people to change to satisfy you.

All these godamm groups being fascists is really starting piss me off. There are about a million other ways to get healthy food. Stop infringing on my right to make poor decisions, or exercise my free will!!:cmad:

[Alex The Great]

Have you not had Chik-Fil-A?

Canada doesn't know the joys of Chick-fil-A.
I had Chik-Fil-A a couple times while I was down in Texas. They're pretty good. A&W's chicken is way better.


Also, Tim Hortons's > Starbucks! :cmad:

[Mike_D202]

I love how McDonalds get flak and tagged as the unhealthiest of fast food restaurants but more and more studies are showing it's one of the healthiest compared to others such as Taco Bell, Applebee's, Red Robin, etc.

I think they also took in consideration the other food choices McDonald's has. Like the apple slices, the salads, etc. are all in the mix. Not just the burgers.

That seems entirely unlikely. What do you mean by "totally decomposed"?

I think he means he poo'd it out.

[dark_b]

i eat MCD maybe 4 times a year. the food is not healthy but its good. i hear that in the US its very cheap. here in europe its very expensive.


but you have to be crazy to belive this article. this is not possible and its so obvious fake.

In all my experience with leaving McDonalds out for a day it turns solid. Especially the fries.

[Carcharodon]

but you have to be crazy to belive this article. this is not possible and its so obvious fake.Why? Do you know what the function of a preservative is? :huh:

Hint: it's in the ****ing name.

[Carcharodon]

The bag was empty :huh:....that isn't decomposition. You have a raccoon infestation.

In all my experience with leaving McDonalds out for a day it turns solid. Especially the fries.I know this is gross, but I've found old fries in my car before. Like, one or two that fell under my car seat that I clearly missed during cleaning. Other than hardening, they look almost exactly as they did when they were hot out the fryer.

[JAK®]

I don't view McDonalds as a meal; I consider it a tasty treat. If I eat it I don't count it as part of what I ate that day.

[raybia]

...that isn't decomposition. You have a raccoon infestation.



Oh NO!:wow:

[The Riddler]

looks delicious.

i love mcdonalds; it is quintessentially american.

[Marx]

Did anyone else see this? Apparently, San Francisco has officially passed a law that bans happy meal toys from being included in 'unhealthy' happy meals.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101103/hl_nm/us_mcdonalds_toys

[JustABill]

-sigh- What a waste. So much more important things to worry about.

[Marx]

I just wonder whatever happened to parents being in charge of their kids...

[Paradoxium]

You know what would be comedic?

If the same people who bought toys, now bought more junk food to supplement the loss of the toy.

That would be gold :woot:

[Scar Predator]

I just wonder whatever happened to parents being in charge of their kids...

I agree. I think the ban is ridiculous.

[Marx]

I'm just so tired of these parents who can't say no to their children and try to blame everything that is wrong with the child on everyone else. Step up and act like a freaking parent!

What makes it even worse is that these holier-than-thou parents are my around my age and likely visited McDonald's for these 'horribly' unhealthy happy meals and movie themed toys when they were kids themselves!

[Schlosser85]

People don't know how to take responsibility for anything themselves, so they whine.

"Those shows shouldn't be on TV because I have children and I don't know how to change the channel"

"Those video games shouldn't exist because I have no control over what games my kids play"

WAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bat-Mite]

They are tired after a long day at work, don't want to fix supper or spend a lot of money on eating out, and McDonald's requires them to do neither. And then they sit there and think about it after the fact and feel guilty about what they fed their kids. But do they make an effort to change their ways? No, because obviously they should be trying to change McDonald's instead. Why be a responsible parent when you can force a fast food chain into doing it for you?

If those parents are really concerned, they could've ordered some salads for their kids to eat instead of Happy Meals. But they knew that their kids won't eat it (and neither will the parents), so they chose to complain about McD instead.
