Hey Parents – Stop Paying
My blood boils when I hear stories of parents, consumers, anyone complain that their kids are morbidly obese because they eat fast-food (usually because the “advertising” made them do it). Take a gander?at this picture and then tell me who is to blame?
Here’s a brilliant idea. Stop taking your kids to McDonald’s! Listen it’s time for parents to do their job and protect their children, period. Don’t use advertising as a crutch for POOR parenting. I’m pretty sure these obese kids didn’t drive themselves to the restaurant and whip out a?twenty to purchase the food.
In my opinion this is all out child abuse. No child should be this fat, unless they have some type of medical condition. As we age we all put on more fat but as a child I certainly never looked like this. It’s disgusting and the parents should be held responsible.
What are your thoughts? Who’s to blame?

Parents have to get used to telling their children “NO!”
“I want to go to McDonald’s!”
“No. We are having a wholesome, balanced, nutritious dinner at home.”
When the kids are teens, they are off on their own for many meals and will often eat crap. If you have included them in the family meal ritual, menu planning, shopping and prep, they will return to it when they are older.
Bring your kids into the kitchen! Save the fast food for road trips.
