It is extremely unhealthy and not something I'd like to see used as a reward. Yes kids get addicted and that's the problem ... fatty hamburger, fatty fries, and whatever. When my child was in school I could keep some control on her diet and health. When she was out on her own (post high school), she put on 60 pounds, much of it related to Mcs and no controls. Now, she's 70 pounds under her peak after four years of life threatening illness, some of which I blame on the overweight and Mcs. Hopefully, she will recover. Pretty certificate is good!.. but Mcs is BAD! just one parent's opinion. Rick .. dad to Jan, 31, cured of AML and diabetes for now, .. and also ds .. two miles on the treadmill yesterday!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Rick I also agree. Did you read the recent thread on healthy eating and weight gain? It is a big concern of ours. However, we do allow our kids to eat some fast food, but no more than once a week. I heard on the news that some kids are eating fast food daily, I know it is true, but hard to believe. My girls will ask for Mcs or 's, but don't even fuss when I say you got to eat there on Monday, no more for the rest of the week. It is a struggle though.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I love the parfait myself. And their new salads are delicious. Right now likes salad, is in another stage where she doesn't. A month ago she did, maybe next month she will again.
