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 the OP should go back to bed

McDonalds (rebranded as McSlummingIt) full of Joules wearing slender rosy cheeked families, post healthy bike ride, content in the knowledge that they are allowed to eat this food. Whilst the poor, fat velour tracksuited hoi polloi are only allowed to watch through the window eating carrot sticks - this is the future!

Dd has a Lynsey track suit top aged 9 so if they don't make kids clothes it must be a ffffff fake!

Worra would you understand people eating in a place that smelt revolting? And served stuff that to you looked like mush?

I know people do it but I fail to see the attraction and I don't understand it, then to call it a treat is beyond my comprehension

Honey it wasn't that it smells like rotten eggs but that to me the smell is as objectionable as rotten egg it seems putrid and has got worse over time

what a load of bollocks

ilovepowerhoop · 13/04/2014 08:32

ours do salt the chips and I am sure they have salt packets too

TheCrackFox · 13/04/2014 08:33

How do you know she was 9? Was she wearing a badge?

burgercat · 13/04/2014 08:33

Oh sorry, I'm on Mumsnet, I forgot! I must be wrong then. The salt on my fries was just imagined and the child must have been in Burgerking, and I must be making it all up anyway because I made a slight mistake when typing the thread, and if the larger fries are not called supersize then my point was irrellevent. It's Ok and reasonable for a child to have the largest portion of fries available intead of the regular, or even a child's portion.

well she had the foresight to namechange before goading posting, everlong so must have had an inkling of what she's doing.

ShatnersBassoon · 13/04/2014 08:34

She'll have had nine spare tyres. Fat kids can be aged a bit like trees.

HoneyDragon · 13/04/2014 08:34

Was it this McDonald you went to op? This lovely one built in a bridge?

Just out of interest, how can people tell the OP has name changed?

InSpaceNooneCanHearYouScream · 13/04/2014 08:35

The point is, it's none of your business what size portion someone else has. Maybe she hadn't eaten all day

Tealady1983 · 13/04/2014 08:35

No crack it must have been the flashing neon sign above her head that also had her height and weigh so op could work out her bmi x

Lj8893 · 13/04/2014 08:35

So if I wear joules when I go to McDonald's I won't get judged as much for being fat??

makes a mental note

WorraLiberty · 13/04/2014 08:36

Worra would you understand people eating in a place that smelt revolting?

No, that's what I'm saying.

It smells revolting to you personally, but not to them.

Mint sauce smells revolting to me. I honestly can't sit next to DH when he puts it on his dinner but I understand that to him it's lovely.

Just different tastes that's all.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 13/04/2014 08:36

They use salt here unless you ask for no salt.

Maybe we Scots are too big salt fans and they are scared to remove it.

EverythingIsAwesome · 13/04/2014 08:36

Susannah, someone probably advanced searched her & saw that there is no posting history for this name.

Ledkr · 13/04/2014 08:36

oh sorry! I'm on mumsnet yes you are, and we aren't sheep who just agree with everyone! sorry.

slartybartfast · 13/04/2014 08:36

what is Joules??

adjusts tracky

BeverlyMoss · 13/04/2014 08:37

this is the only post/thread under this nickname. Advance Search.

Many posters will do a quick AS when they smell a goady troll.

BeverlyMoss · 13/04/2014 08:38
