McDonalds is out of the obesitywagon that lurks in every school canteen. I got to learn of it from a very interesting blog, which read as follows:
Deer Mac Donalds,
How could you remuv ads from report cardz just becuz parents got made at you for puting them their? Does this mean if I get good grads I kant get frys no moor? I had perfect attandence last yeer and got a C in Citicenship and got frys and apple pyes. The pyes was good, thanks. I m lovin it. 1 day maybe I can werk for you so I hop you wont regect my applecation for a job. I see myself in middl managment.
`Sinceerly,

What a laugh! Kudos to the brain behind it because the language and the carefully chosen words give a complete wash over to the Big Mac which has been the bone of contention for most parents. Yes, believe it or not but McDonald s was having itself featured on report cards for publicity. Which was a cool move considering the fact that school kids want to be treated at McDs when they stand first in the school exams and they also need the same burger and fries combo when their grades aren t good enough, the ultimate morale booster you see. But parents raised a lot of hue and cry and finally, the schools had to give in. Having li l ones pig on the burger or French fries isn t every progenitor s dream. Imagine the big blobs of fat they end up becoming due to such an unhealthy diet.
The school definitely had to suffer the loss of a good sponsor. But priorities need to be set right. Perhaps, educational institutions need to be more aware of their responsibilities towards the students. Kids need to be shaped in a healthy and fulsome environment.
