Ronald McDonald an Influence for Obesity?

Ronald McDonald has been around since before anyone in my generation. He's been around since the 40's or 50's if I remember correctly and now instead of parents taking the responsibility on themselves for their child being overweight, they turn to blame the spokesperson of the chain itself. Ronald McDonald, in fact, is not at fault for obesity and in no shape way or form should be blamed for it. How about we admit we eat there and stop blaming him? Start blaming the want for McDonald's. Also, McDonald's is actually one of the leading restaurants in changing their foods to be healthier for the consumers. People are sheer ignorant.
