To think that babies should not eat macdonalds?

[pinkfizzle]

Ok I went shopping and popped into MacDonalds on the way home for a drink and a filet of fish, while there I got out a high chair and fed my baby some solids (that I had bought with me).

Next table across I see a baby who at a guess looked about 8-9 months old in a high chair - and see that she is being fed french fries, lemonade and chicken nuggets?? I was very shocked at this - at one point I heard the parents say come on now, finish your lemonade as they fed it cup like to her?

.. and yes I have decided not to go anymore as I obviously am not setting my child a good example.

.. out of interest those of you who have children, what was the youngest age that your children had french fries??
.. is it common practice??

I refuse to apologise for having a conscience.

There is side issues with hundreds, if not thousands of big brand institutions SITMWY. But you live on a farm and are self sufficient aren't you?

And I refuse to apologise for not being an uptight judgmental self righteous twat with a major superiority complex.

There are quite a number of things I boycott,but I don't call others who don't 'idiots'. My politics and beliefs are mine and mine alone. I don't belittle others who don't share them.

It's not a complex, more along the lines of a... how'd you put it? Fact?

Oh do fuck off.

People have been bombarded with education for years though, and still most people do not give a flying fuck about anybody but themselves.

It would be lovely if that were true - but people don't care anymore. They really don't. They'll never admit it, but as long as they have an easy life they really do not care if others suffer because of it.

I do actually do things to help others but I don't feel the need to go into detail about them here because I'm not doing it for recognition and it doesn't make me,or you, a superior person in any way.

There's most likely a reason to boycott just about everything but one does have to pick one's battles.

I boycott Nestle

Bullshit. As I said above, not all choices or opinions are equally valid or morally equivelent. The modern idea that they are is a sop to the idiotic.

Have two Kodak.

My baby was eating MacDonalds at 7 months well the sweetcorn! They all have it when we're in China because I can't read Chinese and it's reliable food on occasion that we're away from the house.

But it's not terrible on occasion. Worse si to make it the most prized food ever by never giving it to them.

TBF since we've had less money we've all eaten less healthy, more fishfingers for quick meals, eating out was not an option and so I can see why people on lower incomes go to MacDonalds as otherwise they would never be able to eat out.

Actually, I called them idiots. I dislike the term twat.

get the fuck over it, sorry but SO FUCKING WHAT some children eat shit, some children dont even get to eat sadly
this is the world we live in

So, it's ok if you're a chav on a low income? Patronising shite.

I can't say everything is as black and white as you paint it.

Some people might prioritise fundraising for a cancer charity,others clean water for developing countries, others helping in their local community, others enviromental concerns.
Which of those is the superior choice? I'm curious to know.

And do you really boycott everything you should?
