If their picture had been taken while they were eating any other fast food, then that fast food establishment would be blamed. Funny, the parents aren't blamed, are they? But really, it's not McDonald's or Wendy's fault; it's the parents. The parents let the kids get fat.

Again, what about moderation? Not to mention teaching people to make choices for themselves?



Funny thing, the yogurt parfaits and organic coffee I mentioned are on the $1 menu.

Sad world you must live in... Santa, the Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy must be on your world's FBI Ten Most Wanted List, too.


My apologies to WinnDixie and Chickie for this thread going off subject - in my opinion, any place friends can meet and kids can play is good.

There is nothing wrong with everything in modertion and teaching your children proper nutrition and exercise habbits but that does not mean you cant have a treat now and then (summersux must be that house on Halloween that gives out pennies or granola instead of candy). People need to take resposibility for themselves and their children and not leave it up to others.
