Do you buy fast food for your kids?

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.

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!

Heck, I buy that crap for me...but there is a time and a place and its about portion control.

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 Chipotle

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).

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"

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

Not often. I showed my kids an article about fast food so they would rather eat some place healthy.

I do when I see them but that isn't very much.

Very rarely. its like a "treat" or we are running around crazy...but she makes me take off the breading on the chicken nuggets , and doesnt eat the bun with hamburgers, also gets the apples or whatever instead of fries. so we try to make it a little more healthy!

I do, but it's not very often (maybe once a month unless we are traveling/on vacation). I did "treat" them to McDonalds yesterday because we were out of the house all day and they each had a cheeseburger, shared a small fries, had water to drink, and then each had 1 1/2 cookies for dessert.

My kids don't drink soda (my 8 year old has no desire to try it & there's no way I'm giving any to my 3 year old).

They both realize that it's something that isn't going to happen often and that it's not healthy (we talk about what foods are healthy for our bodies), but that sometimes we make exceptions.

Yes. My wife and I have not restricted ourselves from eating anything specific during our weight loss journeys, so it's technically fair game. If we do it's usually Chick Fil A. At least there the chicken looks like chicken. My littlest one loves the cinnamon apple pouch that you can get with the kids meal. And my 5 year old has gone back and forth between the waffle fries and the fruit cup. She doesn't get french fries otherwise, so the once-in-a-while she does get it is probably OK.

I hardly ever buy fast food for them. I don't eat it unless I have to (on a road trip) or I might do more of a Qdoba or Noodles more than a drive thru. My husband is a fast food addict so he will buy it for them if he has them and I won't be there to make them lunch/dinner. I don't love that he does that but at the same time I know if I deny it, then they will probably go crazy on it when they are older. I just have always explained it as an occasional thing, not something you would eat every week.

Of course.
It taste fabulous. We love it.
And all my kids are in peak physical condition in spite of the occasional indulgence.
