McDonald's adjusts advertising to kids

By ABC7
Crain's Chicago Business is reporting the company will no longer use its famous mascot Ronald McDonald in ads directed toward children unless the commercial features healthy food.

The company is also downplaying a kid's happy meal that features a double cheeseburger.

McDonald's officials say there are no plans to stop featuring toys in those happy meals.
