Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
I have noticed no one has touched the haram/halal issue about McDonalds here. If that is not a concern let the kidz have some fun and be kidz once in a while. Its not going to hurt u if u dont eat it on a regular basis.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
^ I think when the majority of ppl here talk abt mcdonalds and fast food, its safe to assume they mean teh fish sandwich, since alot of ppl believe that's ok to consume.
Also, once in a while is fine, even for adults, however having mcdonalds every day, for more than two meals, is very unhealthy and damaging.

I am not sure but I have heard there is something in their buns which is not Halal. Plus what about all the other small ingredients in the File-o-fish. like the sauce, bread crumbs etc.

^ You can also say since hte fish is made in the same place as the chicken/beef, the same hands/gloves that touch the ham touch the fish etc. 
That’s up to each individual, how relaxed or strict they choose to be. If they’re that anal abt it, don’t even ever eat out then.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
Did I mention kids who have Muslims parents anywhere? Why then is there an assumption made that I'm specifically speaking about them? Why can't a topic be of a general nature?
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
No you did not Sadiyah! I am guilty of adding that dimension to this topic and Sara516 for taking it to the next level.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
I think kids should eat a healthy balanced diet, and they should be introduced to fresh fruit/veggies and healthier options when they are younger so they can used to them and grow to like them.
Freshly cooked food is as everyone already knows is obviously so much better than take-away/fast food/frozen ready meals. Kids should not be allowed to have unlimited sweets and chocolates as they contain so many harmul additives that affect their sugar levels and they can make them hyper. I remember when I was younger I used to go hyper on coke ( that's coca cola) LOL, obviously the sugars and caffiene used to give me some kind of boost.
As for feeding kids with Mcdonalds, In my opinion it should be given to them now and again as a treat or something extra, not to replace proper meals because eating is a lifestyle and if someone makes a habit out of treating fast food as proper food then the results will be of course negative. We see so many programmes on Tv about obese kids and this is all because of them eating all this junk. Even America is becoming more aware of this problem, for example disney world in Florida has banned a lot of junk food and is apparently replacing fries with carrots!!
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
When I have kids, I want them to be healthy eaters. I'm going to do my best to steer my kids clear from pop, junk food and fast food.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
lol!! yeah i agree
keep ur kids away from the junk..
when they are older and free of disease they will thankyou
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
As a kids, my parents used to take us to McDonalds every now and then. There's nothing wrong with it. However, it would be unhealthy if one were to overdo it. Like everything, moderation is always the best.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
Is mcdonalds even halal? I read an article about thier oil filtration process at the end of the day. Some filter oils used for haraam things first, whilst others have seperate filters for each product. And also there is a beef extract in some of the vegetarian products to enhance the flavour. Im sure there are halal restaurants too right? If not and you really want mcdonalds despite thier sending of money to israel at least ask the manager there, i am sure they wont be frightened of answering your questions lolz. Have fun...
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
they discontinued using beef powders and oils when the hindu community started an uproar about it. From my understanding they no longer fry the fish and fries with the hamburgers etc.
However one can never really be sure.

Woaw! Thanks for the info! Its best to just find out at the store...
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
I don't think they've ever fried the fish and the fries with the hamburgers. As far as I can remember, back in the mid 80's, they've used a seperate vat for deep frying the fish and the fries. The hamburgers were fried on a grill.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
they did.....also....they used to add beef powder to inhance the flavor to their fries...they dont do this anymore.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
We’re back to discussing the halaal and haraam aspect, when it wasn’t the intent of the thread.
I agree McDonalds and other such fast food in moderation should be alright, but it certainly shouldn’t be given as a treat.

Do the pakistani mcdonalds serve everything halal? As some flavours maybe imported (unless they are pakistani made)

Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
They shouldn't be given any fast food at a young age. Nor sodas or anything extremely high in sugar and addictive.
