Regular meals with a reasonably varied content and sane serving sizes... that’s probably as helpful as anything else in avoiding gross obesity. McDonald’s was never intended to become a full time feeding station.

Guns kill people, pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk & spoons make you fat.

No kidding. Parents DO have the option of not driving their children to McDonalds and actually fixing a meal for them.

since when

"If you put all of the clown’s power behind the sale of broccoli or spinach,...."

Popeye already has the franchise for promoting spinach.

My thoughts as well. I have been eating at McDonalds for 60 years since I was 11 yo. Not over weight, low blood pressure, no cholesterol problems. Grew up down the street from one of the three original MD’s.

Hey, I know - let’s let the loony left do to food what they did to the talk radio industry ;-)

Can’t imagine what Hannah’s parents are like. s/

Apparently all other fast food companies sell good, healthy, wholesome food and never TARGET children. I gotta tell you I’m more than a little fed up with using CHILDREN to target and sell. The last person I am going to take financial, phone service or eating advice from is a child.

[Girlene]

okay, maybe grandparents don’t have that option......:-)

Which is why I don’t take mine there. I also made all their baby food because the jarred stuff doesn’t taste like the real stuff. Guess what. They eat avocados and spinach! When did parents start falling for the kids’ food marketing scheme? My in-laws did with my nephew and he is obese at 10, which I think is child abuse personally. My sister-in-law literally didn’t have a clue that chicken nuggets don’t have to come through a window or from a freezer bag. She was astounded, and actually made fun of me, when I cut up chicken breasts from our local farmer, dredged them in flour, dunked them in egg, then dredged them again in seasoned breadcrumbs and fried them in a little olive oil. people just don’t cook anymore and it’s a shame.

Here’s a hint Lefties. Only eat at McDonald’s once a week or once every two weeks.

Problem solved.

Now drink a sip of water. Sit down. Calm down. Relax...

You’re going to be okay.

[bigheadfred]

oh we have the option and they get to go have some french fries and a root beer maybe once a week but it is too bad they ran out of toys and the playground is broke

This cat herding is hard work. It sucks to be a statist who’s trying to change the world.

Human nature is Impossible to change.

Yep. All of the "plugged in" iPad, iPhone, etc 8-year olds in tv ads.

Nothing new, however.

Leftist food police have decreed no fat chocolate milk be served at schools and MacDonalds has it to try to appease them too. The irony is that the beneficial milk calcium is absorbed by our bodies much better if the milk has some fat in it. Agenda trumps science.

[Girlene]

lol....never thought of those “reasons” to not go to McD’s.
