Happy Meal offer leaves mom unhappy

Happy meals aren't the fucking problem. Kids going OUTSIDE to play, instead of watching tube/ playing gamestations is the problem. Parent's that are too busy to allow the children to participate in little league sports are the problem. I will add that parent's could also set an example. Occasional treats like fast food / ice cream/ sweets aren't all bad but setting the table most of the time with healthy balanced meals might be a good idea.

Bingo. I ate a fair amount of fast food when I was young, along with red meat, pork chops, potatoes, rice, pasta, ice cream, etc., but burned it off by going outside to play and getting some actual exercise.

Geez, give the kids a freakin' Happy Meal for doing well in school! Like somebody already said, one happy meal every nine weeks won't make your kids fat - it's the three times per week you take your minivan through the drive thru to get your kid a cheeseburger on their way over to their friend's house to beat off or play Guitar Hero or whatever the kids do these days.
