Last week, I told you about fast-food chains like McDonald's gobbling up the real estate near public schools in urban areas, arguably a strong contributor to the epidemic of obesity in this country, particularly among children.
This week, McDonald's is launching a national physical education program for elementary school kids, which many experts -- me included -- believe is no more than a clever advertising scheme tailor-made for the Golden Arches' target audience.
