This commercial is currently airing in the Washington DC area and may air in other major US cities soon. Below the video is McDonald’s statement in response to the ad.
“This commercial is outrageous, misleading and unfair to all consumers. McDonald’s trusts our customers to put such outlandish propaganda in perspective, and to make food and lifestyle choices that are right for them.”
