Cheryl, I definitely agree with you! My daughter who is 5 loves going to McDonald's
mainly for the toys and the playground. She does not like their food. I hate taking
her there when she doesn't even eat the food...but then on the other hand, the food
is barely nutritious. She agrees my veggie burgers at home are much better.
I recently took her to another chain restaurant...the kid's menu was all fried
food or sandwiches. She got the grilled cheese and fries. She ended up mostly
eating the steamed veggies from my plate. Yes, some kids actually prefer a plate
of colorful, steamed veggies over bland fried food. I would be much happier if
more places offered veggies or kid's salad bars. (My daughter prefers the salad
bar over the pizza at the local pizza pub, too.)
None.
