Token – You seem to think thats the only answer. Every situation is different. I do think that the majority does have to do with parenting styles -But that’s not always the case. Along with the parents, I think the fast food industry and marketing companies also should take some of the blame. Name something cheap and healthy at McDonalds for children. I know that I can get a salad and fruit parfait, but my son can either have fried chicken fingers or hamburgers and French fries. And I only buy fast food when I’m in a rush. They also make Happy Meals more tempting with a little cheap toy the kids want. They have healthy choices for adults but not for kids. And if you want to eat healthy – there is nothing on the value menu that makes it easy. I’ll end up cutting out the fries and giving my son half my salad. Then I’m still hungry – grrrrrrrrr :evil:@forumhostpb wrote:

The answer AW is NOT to go to McD’s, and if you do – you can’t blame them for the processed rubbish you buy there. Keep away and cook something nutricious at home (or go to a proper restuarant).
Anyway I don’t see what your problem is. All American women are grossly obese and stuff their faces with burgers and chips, when they aren’t gobbling ice cream that is.

Well that was an intelligent response PB – For some reason I expected more from you. BTW- I buy fast food every couple of weeks. Other than that, yes I do cook healthy meals. When you say just don’t go – Sometimes I have a pretty hectic life, and if I’m willing to go to their establishement maybe they could provide more options. Now excuse me while I go eat some ice cream and grease the doorway to fit my obese butt thru it.
And there’s your problem in a nutshell. You agree that Mcdonald’s (and other brands) burgers & fries are bad for you and make you fatter – and still you make silly excuses to go there and stuff your face with them.
So you have a pretty hectic life, like you’re the only person who does??? They sell crap, they know they sell crap, YOU know they sell crap. Don’t go there, that’s the answer, but stop whingeing that they should change their entire corporate ethos and sell healthy food.
It isn’t going to happen so get over it.
My goodness PB – You really told me :lol: :lol:
I don’t recall saying they should change their entire corporation. You seem to but words in peoples mouths that are not really there. I basically suggested a healthy option for kids. Even one would do fine. They may even get more money if they do. Did you take a few extra anger pills today?
