Is't it nice that we have the Food Gestapo to tell us what we can and can't eat? *NM* ßelals Girl - 04/11/2010 04:46:04 AM 500 Views
It doesn't say anything about what you can and can't eat, it just says you can't be rewarded with Helene - 04/11/2010 11:25:31 AM 1145 Views
For someone ostensibly obsessed with Germany, you sure enjoy trivializing the Holocaust. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/11/2010 11:56:49 PM 664 Views

the government should not have to right to say how I feed my child random thoughts - 04/11/2010 01:37:41 PM 1128 Views
I find feeding happy meals to children far more appalling. LadyLorraine - 04/11/2010 01:39:13 PM 1078 Views
what you like to eat really isn't the point though random thoughts - 04/11/2010 02:13:31 PM 1226 Views
I know, I was just saying that McDonald's is crappy, period LadyLorraine - 04/11/2010 02:16:19 PM 1071 Views

it's not MUCH more healthy. LadyLorraine - 05/11/2010 12:00:31 PM 1048 Views
I don't think the toy is that big of a draw for kids, really. BlackAdder - 04/11/2010 05:11:10 PM 1104 Views
The toys were a definite draw for mine Helene - 05/11/2010 08:20:05 AM 1142 Views

You're using yourself as an example at an age when the effect will be less anyway Helene - 06/11/2010 07:11:11 AM 991 Views
Not a big fan of that decision, either. As for introducing the metric system: would be past time. Legolas - 04/11/2010 12:01:41 PM 1138 Views

milk or juice have ALWAYS been options, and every mcdonalds i've been to has offered the apples. *NM* LadyLorraine - 04/11/2010 01:36:34 PM 634 Views

I like the yummy foods made, I admit. LadyLorraine - 05/11/2010 03:35:28 PM 1065 Views
