Why mention it at all then?
I would be of the assumption, possibly incorrectly--that an under-nourished child would be better off with healthy foods that fast food, but I am no health-care professional.
You dont need to admit you lied, logic does that for you.

Apparently, YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NUTRITION. Those meals are PACKED with calories. 1 meal, is about equivalent to 1 days worth of calories. Let's not talk about calories from fat.
Do i think if these 'FAST FOOD' restaurants disappeared, the obesity problem would be solved??? ABSOLUTELY! Then, people would be forced to cook meals for themselves...with REAL NUTRITION. Poor eating habits lead to obesity. It's easy to have a poor eating habit, when McDonald's is on one corner, Burger the next; up the street Jack in the Box, and Wendy's. And you think that's NOT a problem??? YOU'RE FOOLISH!

I never said under nourished, but keep putting words in my mouth in order to support your argument. I simply did not like the way my parents cooked, and after a lot of effort, it was simpler for my father to pick up McDonalds on the way home once or maybe twice a week because at least I would eat it. Kids will be kids, and I was a picky eater.
When exactly SHOULD I have mentioned this in order to avoid the appearance of what is, in your opinion, a lie? If it were not for the indignity of having events from my own life dictated to me by a complete stranger along with the fact that you questioned the parenting skills of my mother and father, I would have given this argument up a long time ago.
I find it amazing that you are allowed to get away with such trivial, nit picking attacks that add absolutely nothing to the discussion, which was MY POINT to begin with.
This entire thread could have done without all the people who thought they mattered so much that everyone else needed to know they refuse to eat that so called trash.
So very typical of the mindset of ATS, people thinking Look how individual I am, I am just like 50 other people who posted the same exact comment! The world needs to know what I think!
As for the dispute between you and I, thanks to your attacks I have a dog in this fight, what is your excuse?

So it was not a medical condition, as implied by your previous statement, merely the fact that you did not want to eat the food prepared by your parents? So your parents gave in to the demands of their spoiled little darling and you got to eat fast-food, I wont point out how this strengthens my previous argument...

I continue to question the parenting skills of you mother and father--read your above statment regarding your refusal to eat what was prepared. You wouldnt be an only child by any chance?

I have only responded to your posts--so in effect you could only have spent equal to or more time on this than myself.

We do think we matter, this is why we dont eat fast-food; we care about ourselves.

If the ethos of those visiting this site does offend your sensibilities, you are welcome to cease posting. I am not forcing you to continue discourse here.
As for the dispute between you and I, thanks to your attacks I have a dog in this fight, what is your excuse?
I have no dispute with you, I am just pointing out that your argument here is devoid of any logic. If you are taking anything that I am presenting as a personal attack then that can only be a product of your own mindset.

Guess what, buns get dropped and used regularly, hamburgers fall on the floor and get used, french fries get reused, if you go through the drive thru you are sure to get the coldest and oldest food they have, the shake machines are rarely cleaned properly, apple pies get dropped on the floor and used, chicken nuggets get over cooked and sold, food gets reused if it is sitting there, the only way to get the best possible food if you eat any fast food is to order it plain, no salt no cheese, condiments in packages. Don't ever order from the drive thru and watch them prep your food, if you can not see it from the bun toaster or fryer to the bag, i promise you there is a definite possibility that it will be contaminated some how, now will you get sick, not necessarily, but do you get the food quality and safety you deserve i would say 70 % of the time whenever you have ordered food anywhere that is prepared by others out of your sight it has been contaminated somewhere in the process. This includes all restaurants and delivery services. When I get my 20 post and can start my own threads I will enlighten you to more information about many chains.
Watch what you eat and where!
Sincerely,

I am not surprised the Kroc bloke ran the original owners out of business.
Combine the Kroc mentality of making money and running the original brothers out of business and his links to a satanic organisation and there is no mystery about why McDonalds is such a raging success. The cabal/illuminati/whatever are always in on a big business. You can bet they will be a part of the organisation to which Kroc donated his money.
As for the introduction of the fish burger for catholics - for anyone who has really delved into the catholic church and their links to the cabal/illuminati/whatever this is no surprise.
Great work - loved your well researched and well presented topic.
Much Peace...
