McDonald's McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut

On Tuesday in class, we talked about the things that reminds us of McDonald's and the Apple product. I tied this in with a discussion we had in my Principles of Public Relations class because my professor brought up the scandal that was made when people wanted to "Retire Ronald McDonald" claiming he was the reason why children were becoming obese. This is obviously not the case, Ronald McDonald is not the only thing people come up with when thinking of McDonald's. I found this to be truly interesting because the media was using Ronald McDonald to help bring awareness to the bigger issue, that Mickey D's food can eventually lead to child obesity. Of course, that would mean the child does not do any sort of physical activity, because the way children run around, they can easily burn those calories off. Just sayin' :)
