Allison, I'm a pediatrician--a doctor. I'm sure McDonalds food has never made you sick, because you're young and strong and haven't eaten that much of it yet. The kind of problems that arise from eating a lot of fatty food show up after you grow up--heart disease, cancer, and things that are almost never seen in children. Take care of yourself now and you'll be well later.

Also--your au pair, who thought McDonalds had treated her pretty well--where is she from? If she's from a place where people usually aren't paid well and are often treated badly by their bosses, then even a bad job looks good.
