Fast food for our children?

[Chast]

Just wanted to make a post about this subject, about fast food to be more precise. I have a friend, she's a girl and since she is a child, her mother never cooked, she only brought home fast food. Not only from McDonald's or KFC, but also from some normal restaurants. Now I was asking myself, how come she wasn't? And I couldn't resist, I asked her. This was her response: "No matter how much she will eat, her body would not change." but something wasn't right, so I've asked her: "What about your body's cholesterol?" and then she winked at me saying: "Why should I care? My body from the outside looks in shape, who cares how it looks from the inside?"

At your first impression, you can say that she's doing some kind of sport but no and can you imagine who is her inside? Soon she'll be 21 and I don't think that with her fast food "diet" she'll make it to 30.

If I were a mother, my children will eat only fresh food, legumes, meat, etc. I don't say that it's forbidden to eat once in a while some fast food, but each day? You can't call yourself a parent by letting that happen, it will kill your child! They said that if this will continue, maybe in 100 years, we will eat some kind of pills instead of food. I don't like this ideea neither but if it stops cholesterol, I'll agree with the ideea.

I agree 100%!!! I see it all the time, children that are extremely overweight because their parents let them eat whatever they want. And you're right, even for the kids who don't gain any weight, they are likely to have cholesterol problems and possibly become diabetic. There should be some sort of rules in place to protect children from parents that let them eat garbage fast food all the time.
