My Comment:

How completely ridiculous!!! My 3 year old is warning his classmates about Cheerios because they contain genetically modified ingredients, and here's a kindergarden that is rewarding kids with the lowest form of "food" available.

"My daughter worked so hard to get good grades this term and now she believes she is entitled to a prize from McDonald’s," said Susan Pagan, an Orlando parent. "And now I’m the "bad guy" because I had to explain that our family does not eat at fast food chains. I’m outraged that McDonald’s is trying to exploit my daughter’s achievement – and that the Seminole County School Board would help facilitate this exploitation."
