Corporate Accountability International, which was behind the effort to retire Joe
Camel and also has campaigned against bottled water companies, says that a survey it conducted shows that most Americans agree that McDonald's should stop gearing its advertising toward children in
light of what they called a "fast-food-industry childhood obesity crisis."
A spokeswoman for McDonald's says Ronald's role is to bring out the fun side of having meals with family and to promote an active lifestyle. "He is the heart and soul of Ronald McDonald House Charities," McDonald's tells the Chicago Tribune in a written statement, and he also "helps deliver messages to families on many important subjects such as safety, literacy, and the importance of physical activity and making balanced food choices."
