No one is forced to eat it. That only happens in government schools.
McDonald’s also includes apple slices in their Happy Meals to satisfy the food Nazis. On the few occasions that we go to McDonald’s and order a Happy Meal for our 7yo, guess what is left over untouched?
Thanks for the ping!
New chicken wraps are excellent and not that many calories for what is a full meal; 440-600.
Kids have these things called parents. Parents should provide healthy meals for their kids and resist the kids desires for too much crap.
Instead, they give in to the kids and let them eat garbage.
I know as a kid, 40 years ago, all I wanted was milkshakes, orange soda and hamburgers. My mom didn’t let me eat what I wanted because I was a kid. It didn’t seem fair at the time, but in hindsight, she was right.
It is child abuse to not make little and big kids REAL fried chicken.
Old Bay Seasoning makes tasty fried chicken.
No child will eat any thing they don’t like, having raised 3 boys I can testify to that. So they went hungry a few times, cured it. You ate what was put on the table or went hungry, single divorced working mom’s don’t have zillions to cater to the ‘ I want’s of kids’.
No one forces a child to go into McD’s it takes a lazy in a hurry parent to take them there and make bad choices. The kids meal is about 350 calories with out the soda or the desert. The human body needs protein and carbs, control the portion size to keep the weight off. This was before the new changes of adding high sugar apples that a diabetic cannot eat that much of.
I pitch half the bun if I get on saves on the carbs and calories.
Have you seen the welfare queens on food stamps in the check out line...fat, with fat kids, baskets full of chips, cookies, soft drinks, koolaid koolers, energy, sports drinks, candy, cake, etc. very little you could call decent food unless it comes out of a can and ravioli in a can is not decent food. PB & J is a better choice.
I tried one the other day because Micky D’s sent me a $2 Coupon to buy one. It was delicious.
(of course I had to put some Ranch Dressing on it so it would be super delicious)
LOL
Yeah, my dog eats the same thing every day...loves it. When I feed him in the morning, he acts like he hasn't eaten in a week.
I did about the same thing with mine, baby food cost more, I am a scratch cook, who ever said retirees actually retire don’t think straight, once they find out you are retired, they find all kinds of free work that needs doing for you to do. Like being a full time baby sitter, unpaid of course. Thankfully mine all are in different areas of the country, and I can just go visit and spoil a little, but not at fast food joints.
This also applies to fat adults control portion size.......and eat only when your stomach is growling, not by the clock. I weigh 108 at 5’, and 110 is considered a warning of being obese. LOL I wear a size 6 jean and that is a tad to loose. One size fits all weight charts are a joke, they do not take into account muscle or bone structure. Not all of us are skimpy muscled or small boned. A weight lifter would fit their obese level as they have large muscles and that makes them over weight on those STUPID charts.
When i was little mom would take to McDonalds after yearly physical after the shot the doctor gave me she always tell me McDonald is not our second kichen I get it
You got too many parents who are in hurry they go to McDonald shut up jr on way home from soccer game
They may be lazy or too indiffernet fix their kid some dinner since they coming home at 7pm or 8pm
