Parents we are “friends” with fed our daughter fast food. Twice.

And on the way to school, we hit McDonalds for Egg McMuffins and Cokes. I do pack them Lunchables, Cheez Puffs and Twinkies for lunch.

Recently my DD went to a "healthy" family's house for dinner. She ate her first ever vegetable and now wants salad, salad, salad every day! I'm not sure how to proceed, other than prohibiting her from visiting that friend again.

If that’s the way you are, you need to interrogate the parent before allowing your kid to visit or stay with them. It’s your fault for not having due diligence.

Oh boy, that sounds like a family I know. But to each their own.

We do not do fast food. We don’t judge others, but that poison is not allowed in our house. We do not want our children developing a taste for it and these parents knew that.

Our daughter is friends and teammates with their daughter and stayed with them overnight last weekend. When we picked our daughter up, the first thing she asks is if we can go to Chick fil A or McDonald’s on the way home. She revealed they ate fast food twice while she was with them. And now she is already craving it.

My husband was furious and immediately called the girl’s parents. We could tell by their tone that they were basically mocking us and claimed we were overreacting. We are convinced they intentionally did this to undermine us and now our daughter has a “taste” for poisonous food.

I don't allow fast food either, but you can't be for real to think someone is trying to poison your child with chick fil a. this is like that story in slate where a parent thought their friends were poisoning their child by feeding them spicy indian food.

How old is your daughter?

Do you have the money for the ED treatment your DD will need?

Hahaha, this is a troll.

Parents like OP describes do exist and are controlling to the point of being borderline abusive, but OP is not one of those parents, she's just a bored troll.

Hello, I published this thread. We have known this family for about a year and take turns carpooling, etc. We don’t use the poison term with them but we make it very clear we simply do not “do” fast food. No exceptions. When their daughter is with us we give her good healthy often organic food. When we dropped our daughter off on Friday we emphasized no fast food. We were nice about it but firm.

Organic food is a scam - and you’re (literally) eating up their anti-science money grubbing propaganda. And while fast food isn’t good for you, it’s far from a poison. If you think it’s a poison, when you learned your daughter had been exposed, did you call poison control? If not, you clearly understand it’s not a poison. Stop with the hysterics.

OP, your behavior is going to cost your daughter friendships. Word will get around that you guys are nuts and invites for your daughter will dry up. Not worth it to deal with you.

You’ve never been on a road trip? Because there certainly are not organic grocery stores “everywhere.” There are dollar stores and McDonald’s everywhere

You don't "do" fast food? Maybe the problem is you didn't say you don't "eat," fast food.
