    Can't say I'm a big fan of it but my kids love it and once every two or so months we have one as their treat other wise I'd be really mean not letting them, we had it today as it was my sons birthday, did I enjoy it no did they yes, don't worry about other people's eating habits if you are happy eating it then eat if not just walk on by ????

    Bad parenting. As someone who has changed their own lifestyle, I would hope that you had the same ambitions for you children. The circle continues...
    i don't think you can judge me as a bad parent you don't know me, my children have a very healthy diet and eat plenty of fruit and veg they have been taught from an early age about food and I believe no food should be off limit as long as your sensible and having Mc Donald's 3 or 4 times a year won't do them any harm

    HIGH AND MIGHTY ALERT. I'm glad being a terrible person who puts down others' parenting skills in a public forum makes you a great parent.

    Seriously? Cut the crap. If that's bad parenting then you're a terrible parent. How DARE you be obese (even though you don't eat McDonald's)!!!!!!!!1111one

    She's not a parent. We could go into details, but it isn't worth the strike.

    I love when non-parents judge parenting skills, amirite?!

    Actually the only people i see on there high horses, are the posters. NOT the original poster. What the hell is with all the snide remarks and sarcasim? guys.. COME ON. Mcdonalds is bad for you. There is not one thing that isnt loaded with bad cholesterol, sodium nitrates, chemicals and preservatives. The OP isnt telling anyone not to eat there, but you gotta admit she has a point. How can any of you who are supposed to be here for health and fitness defend that place? Have none of you ever seen "supersize me?" I HIGHLY reccomend it to all of you who just had to pop off smart to the OP. A mcdonalds burger and fries were put in glass container for a whole year and know what happened at the end of that year?... The burger and fries still looked fresh, like they had'nt aged a day. Compare that to the regular burger from home and fresh french fires, that looked like green and brown pile of mold and mush?..yeah im sure you see where im going with this. The stuff isn't food. It doesn't decompose because its all chemicals. Everyone have a good day.

    If youre using Super Size Me as your source of vinformation you should look else where. This was a poorly done documentary by a VEGAN who ate large sized mcdonald meals (sometimes getting two sandwiches a meal like wtf) THREE TIMES A DAY with a large soda... OF COURSE YOURE GOING TO GAIN WEIGHT!! This guy had his own self righteous agenda to "protect the animals" which is fine, but making a documentary based on pure poo poo was wayyyyy over the top. People even actively went after some of his sources (like doctors that made these "claims") and guess what? Alot of them (all of them if Im not mistaken) didnt even show face when asked for the proof. Im not saying Mcdonalds is ok, but I am saying this super size me guy was a joke. Eating Mcdonalds every once in a while WILL NOT kill you...

    Honey look behind you. Way behind. Farther back than that. That's the line you crossed in calling someone a bad parent for a once a month trip to McDonalds. That's about how often we go there. I am far from a bad parent. What gives you the right to judge others' parenting skills?

    PLEASE provide the evidence that McDonalds alters your DNA. I would really love seeing that. Who knew that McNuggets had such an effect on human physiology...
    I'm not sure where his information came from, but at any rate, most fast foods are not nutritious, which of course can lead to poor health. I do know that a variety of factors can shorten the telomeres that protect your DNA.

    Personally I rarely eat there--and only then when I'm paid to do so (mystery shopper).

    TBHQ is a common preservative for vegetable oils, cereals, nuts, cookies, chips, and animal fats, found in other foods like Girl Scout Cookies and Quaker Chewy Granola Bars.

    this!
    Also, there is commercial grade, and food grade versions of this preservative.

    I was an assistant manager of a Burger King. The patties came frozen and are loaded into a bin at the back of the cooker. The floor was always wet because of the patties thawing and people hosing down the floor. Imagine people stomping around on that wet floor, especially after going to the restroom, and all the germs that produces. Well, one day a worker was dumping a bag of the patties into the bin and missed. All the patties fell to the wet, germ-laden floor. I was about to tell the worker to pick them up and throw them away, but the manager was there and he told the worker to pick them up and put them in the bin. "The cooking will kill any germs on them," he said. An argument between myself and the manager ensued and I ended up quitting. Yes, those burgers were served to customers, but that was the last day that I ate at a Burger King. That was over 15 years ago.

    Right now, I am enjoying a homemade salad of Romaine lettuce tossed with lite poppyseed dressing, with sliced pineapple, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, and chicken breast. Better than any meal you would get at a fast food restaurant!

    LOL this sounds like every fast food to casual dining kitchen I've ever seen.

    It's an article that you read and obviously seem to agree with, given the title of your post. So by putting this 'article' out there, you are putting yourself out there to receive feedback, both good and bad. That's how forums generally work. Sorry you didn't realize that going in.

    Now where are those fries?

    Once every two or so months and you call that bad parenting? Looks like more than one person here needs to get off their high horse. Hate to be any child of yours.

    Oh no way, there you go trolling again. It must be nice to be judgemental and bitter sitting behind your keyboard. Who are you to judge their parenting? Stay in your own lane.

    Then by your logic, we should all be eating Twinkies because a nutrition professor lost weight on a Twinkie diet.

    I don't think McDonald's is nutritionally any worse than any other fast food joint.

    My kids won't eat there anymore, ever since they saw "Super Size Me" and that Jamie Oliver chicken nugget making demonstration. They are actually offended that I used to take them there from time to time. (Indoor play area for the cost of a happy meal or a sunday was a great deal when they were little, on a rainy weekend day.) I've actually had to tell them to cool it on lecturing their friends on the subject because I don't want the reputation of being a sanctimonious parent. We never went there a lot, but we haven't eaten there in about 4 years.

    But honestly, I'm kind of glad. They make me feel just a little bit of shame when I think about grabbing a 390 calorie McDouble just because it fits my macros. I don't need it and there are local burger joints around here if I really feel like I have to satisfy the craving. I'd rather go somewhere locally owned because the money stays in my community, but I'm not about telling other people what they should be doing.

    McDonald's?? The service usually sucks, even worse than the food, using that term loosely. Want two patties on a bun? ONLY? Explain twice what you mean by ONLY. You'll get it with artificial orange plastic cheese, send it back, get it without cheese but with limp lettuce and plastic tomato, send it back, finally have to explain as you would to a toddler exactly what you want and don't want, item by item, they don't recognize that word "only". And if you want a burger which they HAVE in the fridge, but it's still fifteen minutes before the breakfast menu goes off, you have to wait that fifteen minutes or more, because you can't order a burger while the breakfast menu is on. Happened to me. That's why I now boycott that chain; haven't been there in ten years. Arby's rocks, though.

    You're honestly calling someone a bad parent for taking their kids to McDonalds?

    Who on Earth are you to judge? Seriously.

    Someone takes their kids to McDonalds once a month and you have the nerve to critique their parenting. That blows my mind.

    Agree 100%. If you're not a parent yourself, don't even begin to THINK about criticizing those of us who do it every day. And even if you are a parent - glass houses.....

    Watch "Fathead". There are always more sides to a story....I'm not saying either is correct or right, but before you form opinions shouldn't you have the most facts you can get????

    It's true. I ate at McDonald's the other day and suddenly was able to climb walls, shoot webs, and got a strange tingling sensation whenever trouble was about to happen.

    Any sort of toxin like pesticides, harmful perservatives, radiation etc. that can cause mutations in the DNA of the cells of the body. That is what cancer is... mutated cells, they do not function properly and eventually metastize.
