McDonald's has been forced to pull a TV advert from the airwaves after it was found to have marketed 'high fat, salt, and sugar' meals to children. The ad shows a young girl trying to impress her mother so her parents take her to the fast food restaurant. The Obesity Policy Coalition made the complaint, saying that the child being rewarded with a trip to McDonald's was a 'pester power' tactic being used by the fast food giant and was aimed at children. Yet the entire ad is from the perspective of a child,' Jane Martin from the OPC said. The fast food franchise has now removed the advertisement from it's promotions.
