Yesterday I attended the annual McDonald’s Share Holders meeting help at their corporate headquarters in Oak Brook,Illinois. This was my third and hopefully not my last attendance. As usual the consisted of addressing the same old issues, obesity in children, higher wages, GMO-genetically modified organism,  and among , others that made want to “SHOUT”, and not the song by the Isley Brothers, but “Why won’t McDonald’s stop marketing to kids with Ronald McDonald?

In the article on entrepreneur.com , “5 Uncomfortable Questions Asked at McDonald’s Company Shareholders’ Meeting” by Kate Taylor, “Progressive don’t use schools ads, “health blogger Casey Hinds said in a roundabout question full of barbs aimed at McDonald’s. Moms and millennials are are leaving the brand behind.”  In essence, Ronald is trying to have our school kids to buy junk food at McDonald’s. It was with great satisfaction that Steve Easterbrook the Ronald McDonald’s newly elected CEO electrified the shareholders by saying “that the chain exceeds the minimum regulations of nutrition and that is has added healthy options in Happy Meals. He also said that Ronald is here to stay.”

It was appalling that someone had to pick on poor (Ronald McDonald), a clown that was created by Willard Scott, yes the weatherman for “The Today Show” from 1980-2010. It’s amazing that the man in side our picked-on Ronald, began his practice on TV of wishing centenarians an happy birthday on-air in 1983. I wonder if any of these senior-senior citizens ever ate McDonald’s, and if so, perhaps we better send out many more Ronald McDonald’s clones around the world, that if you ever expect to live to at lest to be a hundred years old, you better eat your Junk food, and a good place to start is at McDonald’s.

To be Continued. I am getting hungry, guess where I am going?
