[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m in Florida now, at a beach resort. There are two restaurant in the hotel. Kids eat free. Here is the kids menu:
- cheese pizza with fries
- cheeseburger with fries
- mac and cheese with fries
- grilled cheese with fries
- fried chicken with fries[/quote]

The existence of these foods on a kids menu at a resort does not relegate parents to feeding their kids nothing but french fries forever.  Most of us don't spend our time primarily at resorts.  And there is nothing wrong with eating this stuff sometimes. (Many kids, mine included, had a chicken nugget and pizza phase that they outgrew).  I'm sure you could get your hands on some fruit or a different side.

I've been overweight from eating too much junk food, but I don't blame "America," I blame my own personal indifference and enjoyment of tasty things.  It wasn't because I'm some sort of imbecile who doesn't understand healthy eating or because of the middle class American food culture I was raised in.  It took me about 6 months to lose a decade's worth of weight gain and all I really had to do was walk and cut out sugar and processed snacks. If 10 years of bad eating didn't ruin my health, I think your kids will be OK if they have a french fry on vacation.

Yep. This thread is basically a 45-page exercise in OP blaming everyone but herself for her poor dietary choices.[/quote]
