Today in the McDonalds line, a mother and her young son ordered their food. The boy then said, "And I want ice-cream!" She scolded him and said, "You need to eat real food! No ice-cream until you eat your Big Mac!" MMT

I see the is categorized as "sad". I know where you're comming from, but it definately made me smile at the same time. I hope that mother reads this and it makes HER think about her sons health.

I'm 18 and have been working at McDonald's for about 4 years, the saddest thing to see is parents bring their kids EVERYDAY into, order them the SAME amount of crap EVERYDAY, and scold them for being misbehaved .

made me sick, i dont want to get all political but it truly illustrates our misconception of food and how we have been eating more and more poison. definitely sad.....see "food inc"

...she considers McDonald's food *real* food?...

Honestly, as much as McDonald's is horrible for you, it's better than just straight ice cream, isn't it? Don't Big Macs at least have a form of meat product, and at least a leaf of lettuce? I completely agree that McDonald's isn't the best food available, but a Big Mac is more filling, at the absolute least, than a cup of ice cream.

I see your point, but in her defense, her son might have just been an EXTREMELY picky eater. One of my little brothers is like that, and every now and then, I admit to caving and buying him a pizza or McFood just so he'd eat SOMETHING.

Ewwwww

Hahahahaha
