Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
well u did ask us a question “should little kids be given Mcdonalds and other fast foods?” and you are gonna get personal opinions on this matter…
to some… whether the food is halal and haram do tie in to this thread. Some wont give their kids food from there because they consider it haram.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
^ Yeah but regardless of hte title, her intent on starting thsi topic had to do wiht the health risks behind too much fast food/McDonalds.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
We did a little project in one of my math classes (linear optimization) using nutrition info of the McD foods vs the daily dietary requirements from the FDA. The project was to find out if we could eat healthy at McD and save money as well (since its considered to be cheaper than other eating out options). Keeping the daily needs of a healthy individual in mind, we discovered taht was pretty much impossible to do that. The only thing we could eat was like a garden salad and a .3 of a soda or something like that. The point being that fast food is really high in calories and low to nil in nutrients.
Considering that, although i love fast food myself when i can eat it, i would want my kids to stay away from junk as such. Who knows, while teaching them to eat well, i may change my habits as well 
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
same here
But that projec.t. exactly how much mcDonalds were u sposed to eat? three times a day? once a day? etc?
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
Perhaps I should've used 'fast food and junk food' for the title instead of including McDonalds.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
One of my cousins doesnt give his kids fizzy drinks such as coke. He usually gives them juice mainly. Alhamdulilah good for them!
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
but isnt juice full of 2 much sugar n calries m artificial stuff? itz just as bad as soda then
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
LOL! Didnt think of that! But i guess freshly squeezed juice is good...
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
McDonalds has never deep fried their burgers, and never grilled their fish filets, so I don’t know why people are saying that they’ve cooked their burgers with their filets. They have used beef power, been shortening though.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
I dunno about anyone else but I am DYING TO EAT a filet of fish meal...or a BK Big FIsh with onion rings and that tangy onion ring sauce!!!! I haven't had that in almost 7 months!!!!!!! Inshallah the day I have my baby I am going to eat the biggest slice of chocolate cake with a fattening fried fast food sandwich!!!! :)
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
FYI, I don't think MC Donald's fries are halal, as of last time I checked they are still using lard. Just visit Mcdonalds.com and check nutrition information for the products...and u will be surprised about ingredients
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
fret they deep fry beef patties for muslims only..its a conspiracy

French Fries:
Potatoes, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural flavor (beef, wheat and dairy sources), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (to preserve natural color). Cooked in partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (may contain partially hydrogenated soybean oil and/or partially hydrogenated corn oil and/or partially hydrogenated canola oil and/or cottonseed oil and/or sunflower oil and/or corn oil). Contains derivatives of wheat and dairy
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
^ Like you said it's a conspiracy. They fry their fries in non-animal oil, but specifically fry it in lard/animal-oil for Muslims. So whatever you posted above doesn't help.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
Sadiyah Im not sure what you meant by your post, but as of right now, if anyone is concerned, McDonalds still uses Beef flavoring in their method of cooking fries. And to be quite honest, before I knew this even, I never really did like their fries anyhow. Anyways, I would stick to getting my fries from some other deli or another.

I m not sure, BUT i think they cook the fish seperately from the other food, need to check that out.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
errrr it was a sarcastic comment no need to take it as the gospel of truth 
even then you are technically incorrect i had specifically mentione dbeef patties being fried, I had not stated fries anywhere 
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
and how do you know what “some other deli” is using?
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
I did catch on to your sarcasm. Hence, I commented. :)
