The food police are trying to force McDonald’s into retiring Ronald McDonald, putting the famous character at the heart of the battle for consumer freedom. Watch this passionate debate:

If McDonald’s were to cave to the pressure, this would be a huge victory for the food police, who already believe they are winning, and a major loss for consumer freedom advocates. But, McDonald’s has already stated Ronald McDonald isn’t going anywhere. This decision to stand firm is a model for other companies who will likely face the onslaught of the food police.

Do you think more companies will follow McDonald’s in standing up for consumer freedom? Post your comments on Facebook.
