[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me answer honestly, as someone whose mom hit the drive-thru basically every day when she picked us up from our after-school program (though we rotated Wendy's, Burger King, and McDonald's, sometimes stopping to pick up pizza, and having donuts for breakfast-- don't know if that more varied diet changes things):

I became a vegan when I was a teenager and am an extremely healthy eater now, who is no longer strictly vegan because I've traveled a lot and love experiencing different flavors and foods. I went to Yale. I have, thankfully, not had any significant health issues and I am about a size 6 now, while breastfeeding. I've run one marathon. I never take my kids to fast food places because I just have no desire for them or craving whatsoever. I still like pizza and donuts, but I prefer palak paneer with naan or injera and doro wat if we're doing take-out.

Maybe one day I'll have huge health issues that stem from my earlier poor eating, and unfortunately, I feel sometimes like that would make a certain subset of people happy: the people who feed their children healthy food OBSESSIVELY and reassure themselves, when the children of others have serious health issues and diseases, that they must have done something unhealthy to cause it.

*It's okay to judge, but we were not wealthy and both my parents worked full-time and overtime and didn't enjoy cooking when they had time to spend with us, and they also weren't at all well-educated about nutrition-- now that they know better I know they regret feeding us so poorly, but I'll never judge them for it myself. We had a good run of it, McDonald's and I![/quote]

Thank you PP! Well said. It's not optimal that they are eating McDonalds everyday, but we don't know the circumstances, nor do we know their mindset. OP, stop being holier than thou. I'm sure you are inadvertently doing many thing that DCUM's are having a field day judging![/quote]
