What? Seriously? They’re threatening to sue McDonald’s over Happy Meal Toys?

I came across this article and was completely floored. After I read it, I was thinking, Are you kidding me? Is this a joke? But no, it’s not a joke. There really is a group who is threatening to sue McDonald’s because “McDonald’s marketing has the effect of conscripting America’s children into an unpaid drone army of word-of-mouth marketers, causing them to nag their parents to bring them to McDonald’s.”

In other words, this group is blaming the toys for making kids fat.

Seriously.

Yes, these people really are that dumb. Because apparently, they all forgot that PARENTS are ultimately responsible for their kids’ diets. THE PARENTS need to learn to say “no” to their children. If they have such a problem with toys being included in Happy Meals, if they really think that’s are making kids so fat today- I have a very, very simple solution:

DON’T EAT THERE.

Or at least learn to say “no” to your children. Let your child eat the healthier Happy Meal, you know the ones with the apples and milk. We are in a sad, sad state as a country if parents are really “worn down” and “tired of saying ‘no’ to their children.” THAT IS OUR JOB AS PARENTS, to not let our kids do things that are unsafe or unhealthy.

If McDonald’s or their toys are the cause of your child’s obesity, you and you alone are at fault for allowing them to eat there.

Just, wow. That’s all I can say. Wow. A prime example of parents no longer wanting to parent.

  1. Seriously, some people are just ridiculous and refuse to take responsibility for their own actions!

    • I know!!! I hate frivolous lawsuits, and I especially can’t stand people who try to blame others for something that they alone are responsible for.
