Mickey D's has healthy options too. Ya'll don't need to be fatties all the time.

Eating at McD's is the same as voting conservative- if you're poor you're just effing yourself on many levels, if you're rich...gimme that 20-piece.

Apparently they sat down after choosing what they wanted and both kids were going 'WTF is this?' The littlest couldn't work out why hers didn't look like the picture and both she and her brother took one bite and refused to eat any more.

Proud parental moment.

Noice! Those kids are going to be awesome

I laugh at people when I see them eating McDonalds, it's a sign of inferior intelligence.
More-so laziness and irresponsible behavior from a parental point of view.

But it's not just Mc'D's, it's easier for most parents to feed kids with junk than to take the time to prepare something for them, partly financial but mostly just the easiest option to feed em.

Wife is always appalled at how many prepubescent kids here are already overweight. What chance have they got later on to have a healthy diet or to avoid obesity?

Nothing wrong with treating the kids to Maccas once in a while. I usually take the boys there after Karate.

After fat karate?

really? So if I go get a milkshake from the McD's drive-thru once every couple months, my intellect is stunted?

I'm quite the fan of their vanilla cone. So good on a hot day.

Amen to that. A hot&spicy chicken sandwich, small fry, and a vanilla cone is a wonderful meal

I usually just get a double qtr and stick a medium fries in there.

vanilla cone made with stuff that didn't need to be refrigerated before being put in the machine. Yay!

fredo · Tue Jan 13, 2015 8:02 pm

If it wasn't cold you'd taste it.
