RE: Parents Too Embarrassed To Bring Their Kids To McDonald's

in #health7 years ago

I feel like making kids get milk with their happy meal isn't really helping the problem of kids not eating healthy. One serving of milk with a really unhealthy burger isn't making much of a difference. If kids aren't eating healthy at home then that is the real issue. Today families are structured different so you don't have stay at home mothers cooking every meal for their families like you did in the past. Now parents have to work more hours because the cost of living is high. Women are breadwinners for the family along with men. Corporations push unhealthy, processed, pre-prepared meals and fast food under the idea that is is quicker and easier than cooking a meal yourself when you are too busy. Those meals are often very unhealthy and full of sugar. Targeting McDonalds isn't solving the bigger problem.
