defrogITEM: McDonald’s is placing ads for Happy Meals in elementary school report cards in Seminole County, FLA.
Yes.
The pitch is to offer free Happy Meals to students with good grades, behavior or attendance. Because educational excellence is more important than nutrition. Obviously.
Downside: In July, McDonald's was one of the 11 companies who pledged to either ban advertising to children under 12 or limit them to food and snacks that meet certain nutritional guidelines.
Upside: The Seminole County School Board saved itself $1,600 on report card printing costs. And that’s all that really matters, right?
Supersize my grade,
This is dF
