"More than 550 health professionals and organizations have signed a letter to McDonald's Corp. asking the maker of Happy Meals to stop marketing junk food to kids and retire Ronald McDonald.
Food marketed to kids ages 2 to 17 would have to contain healthy items and limit sodium, sugar, fat and calories, according to the proposed guidelines issued by the Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Agriculture."

Personally, I never really liked McDonald's food but this seems a bit..extreme..
I don't think it is the fault of McDonald's that parents buy their kids the food. If no one bought the food because it was unhealthy to the point of damaging their children's health after one meal then I could see an argument..As it stands, it seems rather unnecessary to force McDonald's to change, it isn't like parents are being forced to buy their children Happy Meals. If parents truly cared that much about their children's health and what food they eat then they should at least try to take a personal part in overseeing what their children are eating.
Also, zombie baby? "A premature Argentine baby has been found alive in a morgue, 12 hours after she was pronounced dead, reports say."
Yeah, zombie baby.
