LETTER: Ronald McMeanie
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Ms Jill Osgerby
Sir: It is true that McDonald's targets children. Our four-year-old daughter was taken on a nursery trip to the newly-opened branch here. All the children could choose what they liked to eat, free of charge, and were given a "goodie bag" of crayons, etc, to take home.
Until then, our daughter had never heard of McDonald's. Now she shrieks with delight whenever she sees their logo. However, she has not asked to go again and, in any case, we would not take her.
Yours faithfully,
