Sitter’s Checklist: Ronald McDonald on your child’s report card
McDonald’s advertises on public school report cards. You can run but you can’t hide. Check out the comments on the story and you’ll see that people are still missing the basic facts about the harm in marketing to kids.

Teenagers are more worried about body image than the environment, school and peer pressure. Good thing there’s no outside pressure to, say, look a certain way.
Trade books, CDs, DVDs, and video games for free with Swaptree. You pay postage, they do the rest. Incredible. (via PHAT Mommy)

Arg! MacDonalds! Last night, the King of Everything (four years old) discovered how to make the radio on his CD player work. He came running in to tell me, “You know what, mama? MacDonalds is GOOD!”
Apparently, he had heard the commercial that advertises how the dollar menu does farther, and pieced together that donating proceeds to charity made the corporation good.
That was quite a conversation.
Thank goodness we don’t have a television!
