That’s a total cop-out. The parents are PAYING for it, so don’t go on saying that the corporations have more pull. The parents are just too lazy or don’t have the willpower to say “no” to their children. It’s not up to McDonalds or other corporations to force children into “eating healthy.” Children will always favor burgers over salads.

And YES, McDonalds should spend a lot more time promoting healthy food choices. I know it’s the trendy and easy thing to smugly point fingers at some caricature of bad parenting, but any two parents, no matter how well-meaning, are only two people with a very limited influence compared to the immense deluge of marketing and advertising children are subjected to on a daily basis. There is absolutely no reason to be a smug asshole and make vast generalizations about “shitty parents.”

McDonalds sell salads and whatnot, but when was the last time you saw a kid asking for one of them? The healthy food is there, but the kids would rather have a burger. Maybe you should stop blaming the corporation that your kids are fat and start blaming yourself. Or maybe you should call your mother and tell her she’s such a bad parent, her suckiness rubbed off on you and now you’re a shitter parent than she is. What’s the matter, did daddy not hug you enough? Did you hug the fridge too many times? Here, have a cheesecake.

The whole idea is she is eating every meal, but USING HER BRAIN and lIMITING how many calories she gets You’re pretty stupid if you think you’ll put on weight eating from there 3 times a day no matter what or how much you eat.

And im aware im saying this 4 years after the fact but hopefully she comes back one day and realizes how stupid she is e_e

In Supersize Me, the character had specific guidelines that helped him to eat the less healthy items, I mean it was called super size me. I’m sure the only supersized item on the menu that was low in calories was a super sizd water.
