Whilst I agree with you in general, I'd say it's more responsible to take your kid to McDonalds than let them go hungry. Read my previous post for the general gist of my point.
Judging by the size of these kids, I don't think there's any risk of them going hungry.

My point is I don't particularly see how replacing fries with carrots and whatever with apples solves anything. You've still got a burger, you've still got extras, there's still a whole menu of other things, and there's still a sugary caramel dip for the apples. Child obesity is still on the rise, nobody has proved conclusively that McDonalds have much to do with it, and the government still aren't getting through to these irresponsible parents. Who're still at large.

McDonalds isn't the only resteraunt on earth, there are other, healthier places to buy your children meals. Heck, I can get healthier food at the local petrol station. So why is the government trying to get a fast food giant to pretend to be something it's not? Why not encourage the public to go eat in healthier places?
