Easy way to stop the McDopnald's cravings in your kids.......... Introduce them TO BETTER FUCKING BURGERS, like HOME COOKED, or at worst Five Guys, or Cheeburger, CheeBurger.  Nothing tastes better than a burger you hand formed, and plopped on the grill for 2 minutes a side.  Oh and if you're going to cook burgers at home, PLEASE STOP USING THOSE SHITTY SAWDUST HAMBURGER BUNS, use a frigging fresh kaiser roll, it makes it taste so much  better.

Ahhh, one unenlightened to the joys of In n Out.

And for homemade burgers, ground brisket is far better than what the supermarkets package.

From what I have heard our Sonic drive throughs are pretty much the same thing as "In and Out" and Sonic ain't 1/2 the burger Five Guys is let alone Cheeburger Cheeburger.    I like ground sirloin at no more than 85% lean for my burgers, you need some fat for taste.  Food Network/Celebrity chef Bobby Flay has a couple burger joints now and he has said he prefers 80% lean, and he also prefers griddle cooking over grilling.  Any way you look at it, the goal is to teach our kids that McDonald's is crap as is Booger King, and to an extent even Wendy's.

Being a mom I have no problems with it. When my daughter was young she'd always want the unhealthy meals for the sole purpose of the toys. I rarely ever bought them for her though for that reason. They're tempting to children and it's like rewarding them for bad behaviour. I think it's a good idea but parents have to be vigilant and teach their children to eat healthier as well and not give in to the gimmicks.

In this day and age where the obesity rate in children is at an all time high I think it's time that government steps in. It doesn't seem like anyone else is willing to do the work.

How about you, as the parent, step in and do the work??? 

It astounds me how many people are willing to let the "oh-so-benevolent" government step in and take over THEIR job.  If you don't want your kid to get fat from eating unhealthy food, put on your big girl panties or your big boy pants and tell them "No".  And don't try to lay it off on the big bad corporations for their advertising gimmicks or "kids having a mind of their own".  Corporations are in business to make money, NOT to teach your children.  Kids DO have a mind of their own...and it is your responsibility as a parent to shape and nurture and direct that mind while understanding that there are going to be some battles that have to be fought and battles that are going to have to be let go.  If you decide a battle is important enough to be fought, then fight it and don't lose.  Even a therapist as liberal as "Doc Phil" will tell you that. 

There's a new book out.  The author is making the rounds and his latest stop was in Colorado.  The book tells parents that their kids SHOULD NOT be the ones in charge, NOR that they should be the number one priority in a couple's dynamic.  Surprise!!!!!  That's the way I was raised and it is the way I raised my kids.  Was it tough?  Sure...what with the government school teachers telling us that the kids' self-esteem was "ever so important".  I told the teachers and my kids that their self-esteem came about from doing something to earn it.  I wasn't about to put them down unnecessarily but I wasn't going to praise them each and every time they put their clothes away.  That was THEIR job and it was expected of them.  I was told by our minister...at the time---he has since been moved to an administrative possition within the church...that having and raising children were the reason couples came together in the first place and so they were the primary ingredient of a family.  I told him what I had been taught and raised with...children are INDEED a blessing but they are a responsibility and the way to ensure their happiness and proper growth was not by treating them like fragile little gods but like the human beings they were and handling them with the age-appropriate levels of responsibility and nurturing needed to bring them to maturity.  Part of what brings them to maturity is realizing that YOU are the one responsible for bringing them into the world and YOU are the one ultimately responsible for their growth and level of personal responsibilty...not the government schools, not the church, not the corporations and not the government.

Not sure if I have ever read a bigger load of sanctimonious bullshit in my life. Congrats, you obviously have the whole fucking thing figured out. I hope to GOD you are writing a book and getting ahold of Oprah so you can start spreading the good word.

I think we all know of personal responsiblity. But, the real thing about society and humans is, is that we all need help. We need help from each other to make us into the best we can be. Lastly, not everyone has the same situation as you. So putting your cookie cutter idea out there for each of us isn't logical.
