Now, i must say Mcdonalds isn't the most healthiest place to eat. DUH it's fast food, everyone knows that the food is greasy and it's gonna be loaded with calories. And then you have the Ignorant people that just have to nit-pick at any and everything. I must say i have never heard an advertisement saying that "mcdonalds food was nutritional enought to eat 3 times a day" never in my life, and common sense should tell you that. It got thrown out of Court the last time they brought this up, the people doing this must live a sad sad life. And to another point, it's not mcdonald's responisibilty to feed your children nutritional food that "makes the obese". I believe it is the parents who you would have to blame if anyone about how their kids are fed. Alot of people live a fast paced life and can't cook dinner every night so it's convienent to stop in at mcdonalds and grab something quick. There for me saying it's not mcdonalds feedin their kids.

Another point i would like to make is if ur gonna take mcdonalds to court over this might as well grab burger king while your at it, and any other fast food burger place like that. I think it's just stupid that someone would just bring that kind of non-sense up into a court room.

Tell me what you think about this, i have the link to the article, so u can read the whole thing. But here it is again, http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,79099,00.html

Cooking is becoming a lost art. On my entire block there is not one family besides us that know how to cook. They act as if we are crazy when I mention that all of us (myself and kids included) can cook.

I'd blame neglectful parents who aren't mindful of what their children eat.

Well my kids today had a tantrum that lasted about an hour begging the father and I to take them to McDonalds. Guess what? They lost and we saved money. They had to eat cheese bread for lunch. Now you might ask what cheese bread is...well I will tell you. Take a piece of cheese, 2 slices of bread, a plate and put in the microwave for 20 seconds. The kids think it is heaven and for me yes it is!!
