McDonald’s has been widely criticized for its advertising practices, which have heavily influenced children. It has also been accused of contributing to childhood obesity. Discuss the role of McDonald’s (and other fast-food restaurant chains), parents, and the government in trying to prevent childhood obesity. Specifically, address the following in your initial post: Does McDonald’s (and other fast-food restaurant chains) have a right to advertise as much as it wants? What role do parents play? What role should the government play? Do you think the government should ban advertisements directed toward children? Why, or why not? Use examples and research to support your response.
