I agree that for the average person fast food is going to be part of their diet once in a while. I just don't see how it's a "treat." To me, a treat is a steak dinner at a nice restaurant, not a crappy burger from McDonald's that would taste better if I made it myself.0

Yeah, let's barbecue our dogs while we're at it...Asians would if it weren't illegal. We can do it to cows, pigs, chickens, and fish legally though.
I would never! :laugh:

I know it's totally subjective, I'm not judging. I just can't wrap my head around it. To me, someone saying fast food is a treat is pretty much the same as someone saying a root canal is a treat.0 -

To me, eating a big bowl of salad would be worse than a root canal.
Taste is a funny thing...0 -

WHOA! I was not applauding them when I posted it was a "godsend" . I was saying that you have no idea what it is like until you are in someone elses shoes. You can say " I would never, not matter what the circumstance" all you want, but the fact is, your really don't know. Education is the key, but that does not mean that it is an easy solution. The fact is that many of these kids are raised on fast food. It is not the kids fault, but it is a cycle. I teach at a high school, and I do teach the kids about healthy foods and choices. And these kids do go home and tell there parents, but that does not mean that it goes any further than that.In an ideal world yes. The truth is that these days, most affluent/spoiled TWENTY year olds can't even fix a meal, let alone a poverty-ridden 13 year old.
Agreed. But it was an MFP poster applauding them for it (called the deal a "godsend").0
