If you want your child mummy daddy then you shoulg give mcdonlads food.
Simple is that.
By the way our desi diet is perfect for our babies, makes baby's bones and brain very stronger in baby's growth period.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
yep nothing better than kebab paratha roghani naan maghaz nihari and paya for a baby. :)
I dont want my child to be a mummy daddy type, I want the children to be complete desi fobby chichoray type? would a diet of bun kebab, halwa puri and pakoras do that?
P.S. how well desi diets work for babies is evident in the pehelwaans we see playing sports even for our national teams :D

Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
Since begining we have rationed the girls only twice a week the junk food and colas. We understand the junk food is well..... junk. But on the same note we do not want them to be left out when their classmates are talking about Mc Ds/KFC/Pizaahut and what not.
My wife has to do some extra job on the fresh juices part. Which looking at the benefits she never complains instead she enforces the girls.
I remember when I was a child myself I was allowed tea only on weekend until I was 12 years old. Only fresh fruit juices it was.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
FRESH fruit juices..i.e, NOT stuff from the store or vending machine, those bottles have more sugar/calories in em than a candy bar.. :(
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
^yes thats what I meant fresh fruit juices.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
I occasionally let our older daughter get Happy Meals, but she barely eats it. She just wants the toy inside. She doesn't particularly even like the food. It's a weekend thing if we happen to be out and the kids are hungry. I think in moderation it's ok. God knows Safia could use the calories and fat. She's a rail.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
I am not as much against fast food because of the food ingredients but for how it is prepared. Depending on who is running the store, the quality of food can differ a lot. For example, I have seen with my own eyes at a McDonald a girl dropping the bun on the ground, picking it up, cleaning it with her bare hands and moving on with her business. Now, this probably doesn't happen at every McDonalds ( I have seen some that wear plastic gloves) but I would rather just eat at home.
Those who have kids may attest that its not always that easy saying no to kids, if I take my daughter to McDonald's, I often end up eat/drink their milk shake or just the fries etc.
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
It should be a once in a while thing, if you eat McDonald's regularly, (3 times a day) you could end up dead in a month(X-X)
Re: Should little kids be given McDonalds and other fastfood?
I'm all for moderation. I still feel sad though when I see kids eating fast food. Then again I don't know how often they eat it, so I shouldn't really care.
