I love it. It's the responsibility of parents to teach their children how to eat properly and exercise enough so they aren't obese when older (if it's not caused genetically).

I spot no lies

Everytime I see a parent with their young kids at McDonalds I wanna smack them.... like buy some brain cells instead

Maybe once in a while as a treat but not all the time.

Release all the adverts you want, i will NOT alter my recipes!

That's a great commercial, I love it.

I agree with this ^

There is nothing wrong with a treat here and there, but all the time??? That's just cruelty.

Make unhealthy food more expensive and healthy food less expensive. Then people won't be buying as much unhealthy stuff.

This was definitely AP but still a horrible ad

The froot loops shade, RUDE

!!!

The switch to healthy eating is both a psychological and economic commitment, and there are barriers on both fronts. A lot of people fail their own initiatives to become healthy because it's just too hard.

Froot loops are a cancer sis, research the **** they put into that stuff

This. I don't understand.

I don't like judging people, but come on people. Don't teach your children to eat that stuff. As adults we can make our own choices, but children should be taught to eat healthy.
