My mom and grandma keep trying to tell me that mcdonald's is such a great place to eat, they really have healthy food, and they do so many good things ... I still hold strong to my position that the only time my family and I go there is to pee during long road trips. ;)NikkiSpinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400833616184426175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-2416572940317846642011-04-13T17:46:21.477-07:002011-04-13T17:46:21.477-07:00The video with the corpse with food in his hand is...The video with the corpse with food in his hand is hilarious!!

Your story reminds me of my daughters first visit to McDonalds when she was 4 years old. Some nursery school buddies and their moms had invited us. After lunch, my daughter asked, "Mom, what were those yellow sticks?!". <br /><br />P.S. My daughter is now 19, a vegan, and she's the one who introduced me to your fabulous cookbooks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-52465504496214504642011-03-30T19:28:34.949-07:002011-03-30T19:28:34.949-07:00McDonald's is clever.

They must put crack in their food though because I remember when I used to eat McDonald's it only made me want it more.

How messed up is that? I grew up thinking that you go to McDonald's to treat/reward yourself.Nikki @ The Tolerant Veganhttp://thetolerantvegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-39833904359405509422011-03-14T17:29:43.412-07:002011-03-14T17:29:43.412-07:00Love the sagging bicep and the video.

Of course I have been there since- as a teenager it was hard to resist going with friends even with those healthy messages behind me.

My then 5 year old came home from playing with a neighbor and asked me if we could go to McDonald's sometime. I asked him why and he said that his neighbor got a cool toy with his meal there. I explained that they don't really have anything vegetarian to eat. That night at dinner, he suddenly ran from the table to his room, and came back and set a toy on his plate. He said, "look mom, it's just like McDonald's!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-52426076158061508122011-03-10T14:39:23.537-08:002011-03-10T14:39:23.537-08:00It's great that she was unimpressed--the comme...It's great that she was unimpressed--the commercials they make for McDonald's are obviously so targeted at children. It's sad. Unfortunately I know many people who took their kids to McDonald's when they were too young to understand. Now those kids think of McDonald's as this great awesome place where they always get their toys..Children don't whine to their parents to go to McDonald's for a hamburger!<br /><br />Anyway, it's awesome that she came back saying that. :)Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571056387648098085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19150019.post-76111554729783917552011-03-10T12:07:08.463-08:002011-03-10T12:07:08.463-08:00Oh right on!
