I was pretty chocked when I saw lots of moms there and a baby had one of those happy meals, whilst yes it is fun to have, but isnt that too young and surely not healthy at that age, whats your view, should there be a minimum age?

No I don’t think so. They probably eat worse at home to be fair. Moderation in all things.

Anyway you can have fruit packs and carrots etc at McDs.

I reckon they must all end up in the bins by the end of the day. A kid in mc donalds wouldnt expect to be given a carrot

It Saturday Mummy and daddy day off from cooking, you should see any McD after school it just easy for the single mums just to take them to McDs rather than take them home and cook a proper healthy meal.

When my kids were really small, on the rare occasions I went there with friends - I’d usually get them a fruit bag rather than fries - or one of each then distributed them equally!

Even now my kids eat far more salad/veg etc than their peers!

I’m a single mum!

I’m not sure that statistically kids from single parent homes eat less healthy than those with nuclear families?

Unless you know of any statistics?

Not sure about now - but then you had a choice of chips or an apple pack with the nuggets etc! Hence I’d get one of each and share them out! They were only small at the time so that was plenty!

Now the ravenous buggers eat more than I do!

Being a single mum, my daughter never tasted a mcdonald's till she went to a 5th birthday party there, so not all single parents just feed their kids junk food.

McDonald’s food is rank tbh but kids Love it for some strange reason but why do McDonald’s put so much salt on there fries? Not needed especially in happy meals kids don’t need salt it’s very unhealthy and the ice cream is shocking from there would much rather go to the shop and buy a big tub for £1-£2 or some cones

Bit of a sweeping judgment there that it’s single mums that go in after school!!

When I was little I remember going in probably about twice with my parents, then I went in regularly as a teen, when I had kids (with husband) I vowed not to take them in that much but failed lol. My younger one was brilliant he only ever chose wraps with carrots, still does now. My eldest works hard in one too now, although he needs to find more work when he starts uni, his pay is amazing for someone so young too.

You can ask for them without salt if you don’t mind waiting - you get the next fresh batch

Our kids had McDonald's when they were quite small. We used to go maybe once every six months. You can't impose a minimum age limit on everyone because some people (appear to) feed their kids too much junk food in my opinion

Don't get me started on this. McDonalds hardly constitutes as food let alone anything else. I have such a bug about salt and sugar in children's diets.

I work in early years recently had a child start, literally 1 and half. At the initial contact Mum tells me all she will eat is chips, won't eat a whole meal unless it is McD's.

Bullshit, the kid only eats it, because that is all that is put in front of her.

Mum was amazed last week as the child ate cottage pie and broccoli (Mum asked what broccoli was) suggesting parenting classes to her health visitor.

I go to MD's, I take my girl, it's shit food but occasionally on the way back home or if we're out and really busy, it works for us....

.....I'd say a few ppl on fab have been eating a little too much salad! Either that or they're fooling themselves and conveniently forgetting their junk food habits....

Let ppl eat what the like, fuck who they like and live with the consequences imho....

My home has been ‘understaffed ‘ for almost 7 years now!

Whilst I agree that there’s nothing better than a good relationship/atmosphere for kids to grow up in - there’s nothing worse than a bad one!

My ex was indifferent at best - an autocratic bully at worst - and my kids have thrived since we became a ‘broken ‘ family!

My son is one of the most considerate, loving, confident and thoughtful people I know - not bad at 15!

My daughter, sadly, is still suffering from the trauma of her relationship with her father - but she has some amazing qualities!

I’m there for them (though I work too) - 6 nights a week I cook them a healthy dinner from scratch - and they both regularly attend the gym with their friends - far more often than I do actually!

None of their friends in nuclear families are healthier or have a more secure and caring family home - in fact many of their friends escape from arguing parents to the sanctity of my home!

Let’s not beat single parents up please - many do a bloody amazing job!!

Theres a lot in this to sieve through but my experience seems to show this is true. Partly many don't have the time to cook from scratch and so have little idea of actual fresh products, it's easier to buy prepacked/premade frozen meals unaware of the rubbish in them. Then there are many who don't see the value in spending the time preparing food, but can tell you every twist and turn of most TV soaps and series.

I learnt to cook, because my mum taught me but encouraging each of us to help each week in the kitchen. It was fun, educational and productive. A legacy. I did the same with my kids and each learnt well how to cook properly. My ex came from family where her mother lived in the kitchen, but it never was passed on the the kids, and she hated cooking.

Like most things, it starts in the home, good or bad.

Statistics do not apply to individuals.

Equally individual anecdotes do not apply to statistics.

You asked for statistics I gave you statistics

Shop at Morrisons. Take them in the cafe first and feed them up. Therefore no need for them to munch their way round the store? Failing that there's free fruit by the door for them to munch on anyway as a poster said on another thread?
