to wear my HUGE judgypants in MacDdonalds.

Took dd to MacDonalds today. For us this is a holiday treat as we enjoy the odd burger, although dd is really just lured by the plastic tat in the happy meal TBH. She is slim and eats normally rest of time.

But, bloody hell, the people in there were beyond belief really. Makes me realize how other families actually live and why the health of the country is as it is.

Family 1- all huge, and the youngest dd (aged about 9) was definitely the fattest and not only that she was eating a full sized meal, and worst of all was wearing a full red velour lipsy tracksuit with gold embroidery!!!!!

Family 2- Two boys with their dad, all sat vacantly staring at their food and munching away. First boy opens his (supersize) fries and says "wheres the salt?" Dad doesn't say anything, just fishes in the papers on his tray and passes packet of salt to child. The chips are ALREADY covered in far too much salt, especially for kids, and if the child asks for salt this makes me think this is a regular thing for him, to cover his food in salt.

Don't these people take any responsibility for their health AT ALL?

I think a lot of war children grew up with skewed attitudes to food which they have passed on to their own children. Not least the idea that you must eat all the food on your plate, which might have been OK when food was rationed but isn't such a great idea with large modern portion sizes.

And Boffin you weren't IN a McDonalds while telling yourself you were the only person with a decent reason (thin and it being a 'treat'), while everyone else there was just gobbling up fat and salt.

Any suggestions for how to get MNHQ to reconsider their policy on goady coward name changing?

Misspixietrix · 13/04/2014 12:03

Maybe posting in Site Stuff IloveSooty?

Whattheduck · 13/04/2014 12:05

I think burgercat has gone for sunday lunch at McDonalds or MacDdonalds as she spells it.
Judging away at your spelling now

Misspixietrix · 13/04/2014 12:07

WhatTheDuck probably to a Toby Carvery. Wink

I think I love you a little bit just for that post .

iklboo · 13/04/2014 12:08

Maybe MacDonalds is a chi-chi farm-shop artisan 'grilled meat patty encased in hand made bread' establishment?

Forgettable · 13/04/2014 12:09

Sooty tis against guidelines, maybe folk need to report the thread as started by a GF?

ilovesooty · 13/04/2014 12:10

Thanks Misspixietrix I might do that.

Misspixietrix · 13/04/2014 12:11

Lots of threads get reported as Goady Fuckers. Doesn't necessarily mean they are acted on.

ilovesooty · 13/04/2014 12:11

Thanks Forgettable

The person who judged the man at soft play with the laptop was a bit harsh- I have done this before and I don't see what's up with it. I had work to do, and thought it would be more fun and healthy for DD to be able to run around and climb things than be sat in the house in front of the telly.

Whattheduck · 13/04/2014 12:12

Toby carvery
There's one near my mil's.people queue out the door on a sunday.
Why ?
Whenever you go by the car parks always full
I refuse to go in one.
It was fined a year or two ago for being filthy.think they just gave it a lick of paint and a spruce up.

NigellasDealer · 13/04/2014 12:14

nobody who eats in mcdonalds gets to wear 'huge judgy pants' at the sight of other people doing just the same.

MoveYourArmsLikeHenry · 13/04/2014 12:15

honey I must make sure I am wearing my line green primark trackie suit. Oooh I could even dig my uggs out of my wardrobe. Them's real ya know Grin

Ludways · 13/04/2014 12:16

If the man at soft play had been reading a book would you have judged him? Same result to the children so what's the problem?

ilovesooty · 13/04/2014 12:17

Reported with a request that MNHQ comment on their policy allowing name changing for spiteful goady purposes to protect a poster's usual online identity.

andsmile · 13/04/2014 12:22

Oh come off it, most people are fat because they eat too much and eat too much of high calorific foods and are not active enough.

I am one of them.

I am doing something about it. I still eat Mc Donalds sometimes.
