Cmv:fast food, sugary cereal and candy companies shouldn't be allowed to use cartoon characters to appeal to children.:
This is partly inspired by the "new look" Ronald McDonald that was unveiled on Twitter recently. I feel that companies who use cartoon or clown characters as part of their marketing strategy to kids are unethical. They establish an early link in developing impressionable minds that these products are fun and safe. When a person reaches adulthood, the link becomes permanent -- and they still consume these products out of a sense of childhood nostalgia. I'm open to the idea that there might be flaws in my logic here. So please come and change my view!
