We used to actually play along with our daughters imaginary friends. We allowed her to continue playing with them till she was ready to stop. I always thought it unhealthy to make a kid stop playing with their imaginary friends because a kid makes imaginary friends for a reason. They need something in their life they feel is missing and believing in something like imaginary friends to be real helps them get what they need.
Just like many people turn to God because they need something or someone to believe in because they are missing or need something in their life they can't get from others.
Believing in God is like having a parent that you trust whole heartedly is watching out for you and everyone you love.
It isn't bad to believe or not believe. But to make fun of or demand they stop believing or start believing in something is.

Allowing people to put the blame on other things and not them self is like letting a crack head blame the drug dealer for him being a crack head. The crack was so cheap and it was cheaper than food. It is the crack dealers fault for not selling me better options. How was I supposed to know it make me sick?
Once you realize the real reason you are fat you can fix your problem. My husband's problem was he never ate proper portions. Mine is lack of exercise. But you know what we don't do. We don't hand our kid endless happymeals and watch her balloon up like violet than tell her McDonald's did that to you mama and daddy didn't it was the bad clown.

Asking a fast food restaurant to change just because a group of people want something different is like going to a bakery and complaining they don't serve hot dogs.
And yet again that so called mother with 2 jobs doesn't have to buy her kid that large fry when they are just 10 yrs old. There is a reason they come in small and medium as well. Fast food is not a place you are supposed to eat everyday. It is at the least once to maybe twice a week treat.
If you are working 2 jobs and think your time and money is better spent grabbing fast food for every meal than no wonder you are at 2 jobs. One is for paying for fast food while the other pays the rest of the bills.
It will ALWAYS come down to the facts. It is NOT fast food fault you and your kid is fat it is YOUR FAULT AND YOURS ALONE!

Annnnnnnd.... where are you from again?

You know what else you can get for 5 dollars.
A full meal for 4 cooked at home.
My family of 3 lives on a budget I cook meals for 5 or 6 dollars and less. I even make a casserole that is super good healthy and cheap it comes out to 25 cents a serving.
I can MAKE 4 burgers and homemade French fries for less than 5 bucks.
If you are going to say it is McDonald's fault you have to spend 5 dollars on a salad so you rather pay that same 5 dollars and get 2 burgers 2 fries and 2 cokes than take your ass to the super market take your 5 dollars buy the Ingredients and make it your self with left overs and twice the amount of food.
But than who would you blame for making you and your family fat?
Guess it be on you than.
This whole argument is on the fact to call out a restaurant for not making food healthier is bullshit. They are not busting down your door and shoving that Mcdouble down your throat. You don't have to eat it. They do give healthier options and they do offer smaller sizes.

That is what they people who want fast food to go away tells you. It all comes down to what you order normally to what you change it to. If you change a large fry a large coke and a big mac to a grilled chicken salad with olive oil as the dressing and a large cup of water you just picked something not only cheaper but healthier.
Like I said it isn't fast food who made kids fat is their parents not knowing how to give their kids proper portions. Little 10 yr old Timmy may be able to eat a whole large fry and large Coke AND 10 peice nuggets but he doesn't need that much food.

It is about choices not easy access. The fast food world maybe showing you chocolate cake but they are not force feeding you. It is your own damn fault you don't ask if you can have the bowl of fruit or even just a small piece instead of the whole cake.
