Don't Let Your Kids Eat Here

What's a busy parent supposed to do? Not only do fast food restaurants help make your kids fat and unhealthy, but also 20 of the most popular chain restaurants do the same thing. You thought it was chicken fingers, burgers, and pizza you were ordering, but the main items on most children's menus are fat, grease, and hidden calories.

I think getting kids to eat healthy starts with the first spoonful of solid food you put in your infants mouth. Even than once they taste a french fry all is lost. LOL

Looks like the fries are the bad thing in most of the menus

I know that I wouldn't even buy the kid's TV dinners because they were full of calories and fat. They ate the same ones that I bought for myself.
