 And fruit is always available for between meals. It's not good for anyone in the house to have Mom be a short-order cook, taking separate orders from everyone. It might sound rather hard-hearted, but the kids also learn that their wants/needs are not at the center of the universe but there are other people just as important in the house, and if their favorite is not being served, then be happy for the person whose favorite is being served, and yours will come up again soon. Also, I make a variety of things with each meal, and they can usually find at least 2 things they like (but they usually like everything). I think it's sad to hear parents say "my kids only eat pbj's for every meal". Not good physically or mentally. Well, what a long post - I should have gone to the vent thread! PS - we all love Taco Bell, too!

Hey, we're having Taco Bell tonight - wanna come? (just kidding - I still haven't figured out what we're having tonight!) (But I admit to a weakness for Taco Bell!)

Well said Rian, but I'm the lone dissenter on Taco Smell in the house. I'm picky about me Tex-Mex. I'll eat Kung-Pao Tripe before I'll eat T-B. The fruit is a good idea and it cuts down on sugar-based snacks. Popcorn and ice cream are the main treats after proper food is eaten.

I prefer Pollo Loco and Baja Fresh to TB, but they're much more expensive
 Good 'ol TB!ps - we all like popcorn and ice cream, too. We group food into 2 categories - "healthy food" and "FUN food". As long as you get plenty of healthy food, there's room for the FUN food, too And cookie dough - why bother to bake the cookie when the dough is so yummy? Although I worry about salmonella sometimes...

Pollo Loco! I haven't been there in a while. I love fhat stuff.! I think that is a no children place, maybe. We have a Rio Grande Cafe near by. I've always wanted to go to the Red Sage, but ouch it's expensive. Ice cream and popcorn are pretty healthy for fun food. Is that store bought cookie dough? I think they make it in a machine if that is any comfort. Another thing I can't eat.

It was a big tub of cookie dough that a neighbor kid was selling for a fundraiser that we ate all up w/o cooking. I figured that all of the salmonella was processed out of it. But I will still let them lick the beaters with homemade stuff - I just hope for the best
Actually, I wouldn't let them when they were younger and would have had a more severe reaction to salmonella, but they're older now. And it is fairly rare (although not unheard of) in raw eggs. At least, I think so.... though if you're going to die of s. poisoning, it might as well be from cookie dough!

this is just my opinion but in australia i think there is no excuse for eating maccas or the sort just for the fun of it particularly when there is a plentiful supply of fruit all year round. i admit i eat fast food occassionally but if there is a choice b/w a hamburger or a few mangos... well i thinka mango would win 9/10.
fast food isnt more of a big deal for me because if i need fast food i will eat a few meat pies (a luxury few other countries get to enjoy) and they arent too bad. Nothing beats a good homecooked meal |

We like buffets. Old Country Buffet is our favorite, everybody can get tons of food, each his own style. I have to admit, after twenty years of home cooked meals, I am totally burnt out!
I'm sick of doing it, I'm sick of eating it! (Mid life crises! ) We do OCBuffet once a week, and the local chinese buffet another day, Papa John's Pizza on soccer nite, Taco Bell or Wendy's sometimes too. It's almost gotten to the point that the others are excited about my home cooking again! ha ha! My two kids have opposite tastes though, and that drives me crazy. I don't mind making breakfast for dinner. You know, eggs, pancakes, bacon and all that bit. When I eat that stuff for breakfast, it makes me want to go back to bed! (too filling) . I like other peoples cooking the best!

My mom used to let us choose what we wanted for dinner on our birthday, and I never understood why she kind of sighed when I chose a home-cooked meal instead of eating out - now, after 3 kids and a zillion home-cooked meals, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND!! I love to hear those 3 special little words from my husband :

Taco-Bell! I'll take three standard run-of-the-mill tacos please! Actually, I go to Taco Time here as the food is WAY better, but I think they are only a Northwest chain. I also like to go have some Dick's Burgers, which is a local Seattle chain.
This whole debate over 'fast-food & obesity is a bunch of crock. The trouble is people wont take responsibility for their own lives and wish to blame say McDonalds for making them fat. Well, McDonalds didn't make them go in and buy big macs every day... There is this thing that works wonders called exercise! It works as I do it and am fairly fit, even if I do go for the fast burger or taco now and then... which reminds me.. it's lunch!

Has anyone seen that really funny Far Side cartoon with the overweight lady outside the sweet shop? She is holding on for dear life to a parking meter outside the shop, with her feet up in the air and her body parallel to the ground, as she is literally getting sucked into the shop!!
Yeah, that whole "I'm a victim" mindset is really irritating - I feel very sad for people that think that way, they'll just be stuck in their problems and be angry at everyone.

fast food is good for a nice treat, but nothing beats a hot home-cooked meal.

Actually, I would consider fast food more of a punishment than a treat, but, that's just me.

That's so true. For me it is literally a punishment because if I have to eat it at school, it means I was too lazy or slept in and that's why I didn't have enough time to pack real food for lunch. The closest food place is in the university hospital, and we all know how appetizing hospital food is...

Actually, food in general makes me sick, but that's another story. I can't stand fast food, however. Nutrition? I don't think there is any in it. I doubt it's real food to begin with!
