Rarely. but every here and there yes.0

We have fast food as an occasional treat but definitely not part of our regular diet. Even when I was big, we rarely ate out. Our favorites are subway or wendys. I like how wendy's has better side dishes to choose from. I would say we might have a treat once or twice a month.0

I have cut down but I still do.0

I've brainwashed my kids into thinking the Golden Arches is poison but we get Chinese & Vietnamese takeout (a form of fast food) and will hit Subway now and again. Burgers are served at home but they come from my grill so I know what's in them!0

Me too, rarely. Every once in a while my daughter will ask for a happy meal because of the toy that is being offered. Of that she will eat the chicken and apple slices with milk. She doesn't like french fries and calls soda "spicy".0

Heck, I buy that crap for me...but there is a time and a place and its about portion control.0
-
yes. i eat there too.
my children don't have weight problems, i do.0 -
When my son is old enough we will eat fast food occasionally but it will not be a daily occurrence. Additionally, it will likely be Chipotle0

the first McDonald's my daughter ever had was offered at her school...ya just sayin.0

Yes. They ask for it almost every day, unfortunately, because they love it. So while we don't buy it for them frequently, we're not going to completely deny it to them either. Making something taboo is a sure way to make a person crave it even more. So we have it, but we talk often about why we don't have it all the time, and why "home food" is better than "restaurant food" (which is how they refer to fast food).0

Absolutely. My spawn loves McDonald's Mango Pineapple Smoothie.0

if i had kids, no i wouldn't as that guy said on supersize me "everytime i have kids everytime we drive past a fast food place i'm going to punch them in the face, so they know not to go there"0

Yes, every now and then. But we will usually just get drinks if we are out from there0

Unfortunately, yes. I am really really trying to cut back on it.0

I have 4 kids with 4 various schedules....I'd say we eat fast food once a month. This week it is twice. We are having Wendys tonight because my daughter's Moving Up Day (graduation from 8th grade to high school) is tonight. Also...it's about 100 degrees here with 90% humidity and I'm NOT cooking! LOL!
Not looking forward to being in a packed gym with 2000 people and no air conditioning on a 100 degree day....but maybe I'll sweat off 20 pounds....0 -
Not often. I showed my kids an article about fast food so they would rather eat some place healthy.0
-
Nope, but family members have, until my son loudly announced that the chicken nuggets he had felt, looked and tasted like foam not chicken.0
-
I do when I see them but that isn't very much.0
