Although, McDonald's is trying to curb obesity issue, I see another problem setting up.
Possible eating disorders.
I see that kids will see food as an enemy and try to burn it off or feel that they have to earn their meals. Childhood should be a time of innocence.
It is sad in this day in age where young girls are trying to diet to get into bathing suits and end up in eating disorder facilities; that they feel that have to track their activities while eating a simple Happy Meal.
I do understand about the health risks of childhood obesity, that they will get adult diseases like high blood pressure and type two diabetes if they don't get a handle on this.
I don't think giving a kid a fitness tracker is the right idea.
I think that nutrition and exercise should start at home.
The parents can have the kids go shopping with them and pick out things for healthy meals. Use McDonald's as a treat or special occasion.
Also exercise should be a family thing, weather it be walking in the park, going on an outing that includes walking and seeing the sites like the zoo or going to an amusement park, or anything that encourages walking. When winter comes, sign up for swimming at a pool or go open swim when it is available.
Bottom line: Everything should have a balance, meals and exercise. There should not be more of one thing or there will be a health risk either way. Kids don't need fitness trackers " to burn off nuggets, just maintaining a healthy lifestyle and include fun in it also that always helps!!!!
