How will the public take this? Mackas have just started a Passport to Play program in thousands of US schools, to millions of kids, to get more kids active using popular indigenous games from other countries. It has a real UN flavour to it and in a way gets the kids to travel without leaving their school yard.
How will this effect kids ideas about health and Mackas?

Parents who have healthy eating habits usually have children with the same.

Do you think most smokers began smoking in a room on their own??.... Peer pressure is generally destructive to individualism. So drive past them golden gates and tell ur kids they'll get a much better meal that DAD'S cookin' when they get in........lol

Originally posted by jeannie7The way that I look at the whole thing is that sooommmme people do not teach their kids simple manners.... so my children (who are taught manners) have to sit through speeches and preaches put forth by the school district on how to act and treat people like human beings.
mmmm sponsoring sports in school,passport to play, does it work? do kids really get more active thru this?
will it catch on worldwide? will it be exported to the world like their franchises.......and will Macka sponsored teachers be next!?
What is the difference if McDonalds is at least trying something to get kids more active? It seems to me that McDonalds is much more concerned with the kids (even if they are future and present customers) than the parents seem to be.
For what it's worth...
