Interesting article about the change of Ronald McDonald's image. They are really trying to change their image if not their menu too substantially - you can still supersize it if you want to
Is this akin to Phillip Morris and other tabacco companies giving out quitting and health info, but still pushing their products? I dont know the entire legal history in the US about this, but i assume between lawsuits and maybe court orders they felt obliged to do so as part of their prevention of further lawsuits and bargaining out of existing lawsuits. Is McD's doing something preventative or have these obesity lawsuits got them edgy?
