It's such a wonderful thing. Free breakfast. What an incredible PR. What a perfect crime. How dare anyone criticize McDonald's for giving free food for earnest students who need a good meal before their FCAT. Well parents, it's time to get up and feed your kids real food. Sending your kids to the clown will only tell them that their fast food, crappy unreal food, is ok for consumption. I would rather not give my kids any food and let them concentrate through hunger, then give them the worst of the worst, stuff that does not even qualify as food. I'm not going to take the time to research where the eggs were laid, and in what oil they were cooked in; where the bread comes from, how many additives were mixed into the batter, and/or where the milk and cheese come from. I don't have the time- and you can see for yourself, in a previous March post, how their bread and meat just don't go bad... anyway, all McDonald's is doing is promoting their chain, getting the kids to taste their food so that they will come back of their own volition when they are older. Who will pay for the medical bills later in life? Obesity, diabetes, hypertension, heart ailments... will the clown be there for them? Even peanuts would be better than feeding your kids this junk.

FLORIDA -- McDonald’s restaurants across Florida are rewarding students taking the FCAT exam.

Around the state, McDonald’s restaurants are inviting students taking the FCAT to a free breakfast on Tuesday, the first day of testing. The breakfast will include an Egg McMuffin®, apple dippers and a milk or small orange juice. The breakfast offer will run from 6:00am to 9:00am.

McDonald’s owners throughout the state felt it was important, as local businessmen and businesswomen and parents themselves, to contribute to the well-being of children within their communities. To that end, they agreed on a breakfast offer that would give students a good start to their day.
