Baby eating McDonalds - would you say anything?

[patch2006uk]

Eep, that's not so good.

I know what you mean- since we've been weaning, all our meals are home cooked and baby friendly (no salt, lots of veg). It's done wonders for us, but occasionally it's nice to lard out! Domino's is my indulgence of choice, and no way would I share that with LO-they're very salty!

I hardly ever have fast food, its just too expensive here and hard to get gluten free I really really want some chip shop chips though, you can't get them at all here!

We live about 5 mins from a chip shop that claims to be the best in the West Midlands. It is pretty good, but £8 for a regular portion.

Mmm, chips...

Yup! They are rather good, and lots better than your average 'chips on the way home from the pub' chips. They do specials for £3-5, but the standard is £8.

Wow, I can't believe this thread is still going?!

If the OP thinks this is a nasty thread, she obviously hasn't seen the FF vs BF or ERF debates! It's actually been rather civil!

I'm still confused as to why it's soooooo bad for a child to have a treat every now & again! I know a set of parents (my mams friends) who never let their children have junk food & were obsessed about making sure their kids ate healthy 100% of the time & ate no fat. Now their daughters (19yrs & 17yrs) are obsessed with counting calories to the point of they cannot have a meal in a restaurant as they don't know whats in it.

PS I want a double XL cheeseburger from BK. Alas the nearest McDs & BK is 10miles away....

I'm pretty sure everyone in the world that knows about McDonalds knows it is bad. It's no concern of you what she feeds her baby. I think you would be extremely rude if you dared try and say something to her.

We take a BLW aproach with food and Fin eats everything I do. So when I go to McDs so does he. He'll have a fruit bag and I give him the odd bit of a chicken strip after nibbling the coating off first. For now I keep it healthy but once he's walking and running fully I'd see no issue letting him have a happy meal on occasions. xxx

without getting narky or rude i agree with kittyventura

People know the unhealthy side of Mcdonalds. You would have to be fairly dosile to not know that Mcdonalds is unhealthy. I think it would be the same if you tapped a friend who smoked on the shoulder and said "I'm sorry but are you aware smoking causes lung cancer" they would probably butt it out on your arm.

This isn't meant to be a mean comment nor an attack.

 

[MissRhead]

My LO is the same age, personaly he wouldnt have mcdonalds every week, neither would i. He doesnt eat well but he will have a few chips, hes more interested in strawberry milkshake though lol. x

Lol. I have been known to say that to me friends.

"Has anyone ever told you that smoking can kill?", "Oh look... a picture of a diseased lung... who'd have thought it" lol

Luckily they know to take me in jest xx

I'm still reeling from the fact that I am the only person to eat jam neat...I felt too embarrassed to do it this morning, so spread it on toast...more than a little ashamed!

P.S. Enjoy your fat arses and clogged arteries.

I'm a size 6-8 love after having a baby so I don't think my arse is that fat, and I had a McDonalds last night, yummy!

You seriously need to grow up and get off your judgmental attitude if you're going to be a mother, cause trust me there will be things you will do with your child that people disagree with and coming out with statements like that make you look pathetic really.

I like jam by itself! Whenever I use jam in something I have a spoonful for myself too

 

[TennisGal]

Jam eaters unite, hehe. DH was eating jam and scones when we went out the other day, he wirelessly handed me the jam ramekin to clear out bfing is my excuse, and I am sticking to it!

 

[KittyVentura]

I eat peanut butter with a spoon if that helps Tennisgal?

 

[Blah11]

Jam no, but I have hit the nutella jar many times before

this prob applies to the toddler mums more but my LO is waaaay more interested in her toy than the actual food. We take it home with us and 1 happy meal generally lasts her all day If I'm out with another toddler we share and have to plead with the staff to give us 2 toys or all hell breaks loose!

 

[ttc_lolly]

This thread has become pathetic.

Definitely time for closing

I love them. I hope one day I can take out an artery and use it like one of those magic Nesquik straws. You know the ones that flavour the milk as you suck? Mmmm instant greasy flavour. Delicious.

[TennisGal]

Peanut butter and nutella definitely count!
