Baby eating McDonalds - would you say anything?

[Natsku]

Am I the only one who doesn't want my child eating fast food at all? Not till he's at school anyway....and even then it won't be ME offering it to him!
And I agree that KFC is the worst of the worst...ick

I'd personally like to get a small fry, mash it up, and serve it with a side of rice cereal.. and maybe those rusk things you guys keep talking about as desert.

I gotta go though because I gotta put a couple teaspoons of Spenda in my baby's formula which is totally okay because it's not "real sugar".

I really do want a burger now but not Macdonalds, those burgers really are crappy. Think me and Maria will go to Hesburger today for a yummy gluten free burger with better quality meat than macdonalds and environmentally friendly packaging (apparently) and solar heated restaurants (apparently). I won't share with Maria though - its alllll mine!!

Agreed! There are ALLWAYS other options! We drove to Scotland a month ago (10 hours!). We took a cool box with us (full of food) and used the microwave at the big service stations to heat the food.

Tight arse i know but i never feel satisfied afetr eating at these places.

Although! There is a service station on the outskirts of The Lake District which does fantastic food! I had thee most amazing soup and shepherds pie there! It is all home made and a great spot for the campers

E has had McD's before, I think he was 7 or 8 months when he had his first fry lol. He only ever eats one or two fries, and now he's older will eat maybe half a chicken nuggest and 3 or 4 fries, but he does love the sundaes so he gets them maybe once in a blue moon when we get McD's for ourselves. Tbh I wish he would eat more of any meal McShit or not because he's so small for his age (0.3 percentile for an 18 month old). I just take what I can get when it comes to Eamon and food

 

[Blah11]

I dont agree with using food as rewards either. i dont ban anything really but I never offer a pudding IF she eats all her main or a sweetie IF shes a good girl. Its just food.

Tebay!!! It is absolutely amazing. My husband banned us from stopping there last time we went down south, because I always end up spending a fortune on cheese in their farm shop

Sorry, don't actually have an opinion on the original topic, but just had to add another thumbs up for Tebay, it's that good

Edit after reading more of the thread: I agree with everyone else, if someone questioned my parenting decisions over something like that they would get a mouthful, once a week if more than i would do it but its her daughter and not yours and its not like its every day for a 2 month old.
Yes obesity is rising but not because of McDonald's because the world has changed and cooking healthy meals is no longer a skill that is taught or passed down in families, my Mom certainly never showed me how to cook I've had to learn (sometimes disastrously) for myself.
I agree with the post below there is a massive difference between the two types of diabetes and it can appear in anyone, even those who eat healthy, as has happened to both my best friend and cousin.

No, it's none of your business and if I were that mother I'd be really angry for some stranger to question my parenting habits. *It's not like she's abusing her child.

If childhood obesity and nutrition is something you feel strongly about then why not get involved with your local school and petition the school board? *Or join Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, or start a food revolution of your own? *You can become involved in a way that really benefits society by taking up the cause, but certainly not approaching solitary moms and criticising them about how they feed their kids.

Well I just raised $7,000 for Diabetes so I do feel strongly about it. I've researched Diabetes a lot and learned that it is sky-rocketing, and a lot of it is due to people not caring about what goes into their bodies , and eating bad food so casually.

I had no idea I was going to get this reaction! Oh well, a little healthy debate is what these forums are all about I am not saying I know exactly where parents should draw the line when it comes to bad food, that's why I asked the question, just looking for opinions. Thanks to the people who respectfully gave me their opinions in return without jumping down my throat.

I presume when you say "Diabetes" you mean Type 2 Diabetes?*

It pisses me right off when people generalise about it. Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics are very very different!

i pretty much agree with everything blah11 has said.

jake has mcdonalds. i don't understand why this was posted in baby club anyway? it's more of a toddler thing at 20 months... surely?!

i've had someone comment on how i fed my child and trust me, i wasn't happy! i can't stand people who poke their noses into my life and business, unless invited.

 

[Babushka99]

Yes we should just be grateful that we have food and are able to pick and choose what we feed our precious little ones.

 

[missmayhem]

think of the salt content........ as a once in a while ok, but this sounds as it it is regular, this could be doing some serious damage

saying something would depend on how well you know the lady and how you go about it about 5 yrs ago a baby died of salt poisioning as the parents fed too much ready break

My boy had McDonalds for breakfast this morning He did, actually. Me too.

 

[missmayhem]

TBH I hate them too but my OH insisted. My boy only had a few bites of a muffin (he had his greek yogurt & oatmeal at home before we left) but who knows, maybe some woman will come on here and start insulting me for serving big macs, I mean who knows the diff right? LOL My boy is on the 99th percentile so I guess they would assume that too.

BRB off to put coffee in his bottle for when he wakes in his nap... don't worry it's just a McLatte

 

[Natsku]

I had a burger today too but Maria just chewed on the high chair cos I ain't sharing

 

[Ozzieshunni]

That's boring. Poor child, giving him Maccy Ds in his bottle. I give mine JACKY Ds in his! He loves a few shots of good old whiskey before bed.

How can you not love the sausage and egg mcmuffin with a hash brown so greasy you could style your hair with it? And an orange juice, of course, cos then it's healthy...
