[quote=Anonymous]You don't know what exactly they're eating--are they getting apple slices instead of fries?  Milk instead of soda?  They could very well be making their Happy Meals at least a little more healthy (or less unhealthy).

I worked at McDonald's in high school, so I ate McD's several times a week for a year.  I don't know what  those kids eat at other meals or how active they are, but frankly, I'd say that the effects of eating McD's (I never noticed any at the time) disappear when you're not eating it anymore.  I didn't gain weight or have any health issues at the time.  When I stopped working there and McD's was reduced to a "sometimes food," as Cookie Monster says, I didn't experience any lingering effects.

The real problem is that the kids may or may not be learning to appreciate healthy foods and well-balanced meals.  It's not healthy for kids to eat that way, but they aren't necessarily doomed to a life of obesity and ill health if it's just a temporary diet rather than a way of life.  [/quote]
