I thank my family for raising me the way they did. I can only hope I can do the same for my chideren. I was not allowed to watch T.V. until my homework was done, I was showered and ready for bed. And even then I would rather play with LEGO.
My mother was a healthy cook, home-made EVERYTHING. All the treats were saved for the cottage. A small bowl of ketchup chips or a sundae around the fire (after a day of playing outdoors) was all I got.
I didn't start eating Mc Donald's until I was out and about, moving here and there, deep into school and growing up. I made about 4 years of bad decisions when it came to eating, gained a ton of weight and am now cosidered obese. Trying desperately to lose weight before I become a diabetic.
Do I blame McDonald's? No, I blame myself... What I do get annoyed at is, the cost of a "healthy" choice at Mc'Donald's is sometime MORE exspensive than a burger. :blink: If they truely wanted to be a place that offered healthy choices and regain faith in society...sell the salds for $1.00
Even today, my salad on Friday night was still 22 bucks :blink: It;s cheaper to order an onion log and big slab of red meat.
I guess it boils down to this....IN MODERATION....AND GET YOUR KIDS OUTSIDE!
I suppose I welcome ANY effort from the frast-food industry that may promote healthy living and choises. :)
