The call of Ronald McDonald, a lot of kids would enjoy eating McDonald's for every meal, but their parents might not be too keen on that idea. And that's where the company's latest strategy has come from, using moms to improve the menu and bring in business. Here is CNBC's Phil LeBeau.

There is a coconut 1.

Shaking up its image, McDonald is turning to the probes. Six moms, from across the country, getting unprecedented 2 access behind the counter, in test kitchens, even storage coolers.

I liked it when the muffins were softer.

I am gonna play in the same box.

Guidder Mocarile, a mother of three from Pennsylvania, among four thousand who applied 3 to be a McDonald's quality correspondents.

I wanna make sure that they are doing the best for my kids.

What about vegetables?

Marketing 4 the moms is no accident with childhood obesity 5 rates at an all time high. McDonald's and others are stressing healthier options.

Mom knows best, and we want her to feel better about her experience, and feel great about the food that she is feeding her kids.

Mc Donald's is not the first company to court mothers. In fact, KFC has a similar focus group. But increasingly, these companies are not only using mothers for feedback, but also to get the word out about their products.

That's my serve.

Nintendo use the grass-roots moms marketing campaign with the Wii Game system. Groups of moms were given the game for Wii Parties.

This is less about being scientific than it is about learning what inspires people.

Moms are definitely the home run for marketers if they figure out how to connect with them.

Mc Donald's moms will blog about their experiences throughout the summer.

Our kids are the ones that eat there. They are the ones that say what they do and do not like and they are also the ones that want the junk food.

So who better to come to than us if you wanna improve your quality and improve your product?

A mother's touch, one more ingredient in the recipe companies are using to cook up business.

Excellent.
