RE: Parents Too Embarrassed To Bring Their Kids To McDonald's
You know what? I get together and eat lunch with my mom every week and last week for some reason instead of going to a nice place we decided we would just go to McDonald's. It really wasn't bad at all. It was clean. The food is inexpensive and tasted fresh and good. Was it healthy? Of course not. But once in a while eating at McDonald's is OK and it's certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
You said it yourself, "of course it isn't healthy". So if parents feel as though it is their responsibility to make sure that their child eats healthy (as best that they can) then no wonder they would feel shame taking their children here 😆
I really do think McDonald's is a heck of a lot better than the frozen chicken nuggets you get at Walmart. I'd wager every family around here is feeding those nuggets to their children and they're only maybe 50% chicken at best. I guess they can do that from the safety of their own home though so they don't have to be ashamed of it.
If a parent personally believes that what they are feeding their child is unhealthy toxic garbage, then it's understandable that they would feel shame; if they believe their actions are contributing to potential harm for the child. Doesn't matter if it's serving them mcdonalds or serving them sugary cereal and pop tarts every day for breakfast etc.
if this was the only food (is it ok if i call it food?) that was available, i would choose to starve.
i suppose we cannot avoid all the toxins in this world, but deliberately adding it to your diet is rather....silly
