there are soooo many things me and my child could be eating at home though, that are WAY more unhealthy than a mcdonalds.
That says WAY more about you and your shopping habits than it does about the healthiness of McDonald's. Yuck. I definitely struck a nerve here, which tells me that a lot of mamas out there are defensive about what they feed their kids, which means they know they're feeding them crap. Otherwise this thread wouldn't be making people so angry. And for all the ladies who said, 'Oh you'll know when you have children yourself,' I recognize a snide comment when I see one, and having children myself won't make fast food any less harmful. Maybe it's easier to see how harmful it is when you DON'T have children, because you are apart from the hectic schedules mothers have that might cause them to choose fast food over real food. But a busy schedule doesn't make fast food any healthier either. I understand the point about not telling someone how to raise their child, and I conceded that point a LONG time ago and even agreed I had to right to say anything, but the fact that many of you are defending McDonald's like it's your best friend or your mother or something says so much about you. You're not even defending a mother's right to make her own decisions for her own child - you're defending a fast food chain! Creepy, very creepy
I really really want some chip shop chips though, you can't get them at all here!
