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 521 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 1205 Views
For someone ostensibly obsessed with Germany, you sure enjoy trivializing the Holocaust. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/11/2010 11:56:49 PM 703 Views

I find feeding happy meals to children far more appalling. LadyLorraine - 04/11/2010 01:39:13 PM 1126 Views
what you like to eat really isn't the point though random thoughts - 04/11/2010 02:13:31 PM 1279 Views

it's not MUCH more healthy. LadyLorraine - 05/11/2010 12:00:31 PM 1113 Views
I don't think the toy is that big of a draw for kids, really. BlackAdder - 04/11/2010 05:11:10 PM 1158 Views
The toys were a definite draw for mine Helene - 05/11/2010 08:20:05 AM 1201 Views
