[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extracurricular for my 11 year old son and we let his classmate ride with us. Sweet boy. We stopped for food twice and the boy seemed interested in both places: McDonald's and Panera. We ordered it exactly as he asked. After the kids got out of the truck we realized the guest was smashing up all of his food into a ball in the bag to conceal the fact that he didn't really eat any of it. He seemed to take one bite and then just drank the soda.

After lightheartedly explaining this to his mother just so his parents knew we did try to feed their son, [b]she explained it away by saying they don't do McDonald's,[/b] they're more of a Shake Shake family. I don't know if she was trying to be sarcastic or actually talking down to me? Do hungry boys this age really have such rigid fast food opinions?[/quote]

This is something my sister would do. She'd try to be polite and joke-away the issue but inside she would be FUMING. And negatively judging how you feed your family.

She would never allow her children to eat "such garbage" when they were young and now that they are teens, they are not interested in lowering their standards to McDonalds. They are a family of "foodies" which from my experience with her is the same as judging all who do not eat the exact way they do.[/quote]

I don't think the other mom feels like your sister, though, because she said they eat Shake Shack -- which is literally fast food.  [/quote]

Shake Shack is upper middle class coded. [/quote]

Family of foodies being used disparagingly, why? Your sister just sounds judgy separately from anything else. And hilarious to have shake shack fancy![/quote]
