The Fast Food Thread

It's not a biggy if a kid doesn't want to eat. Just /shrug and let them go hungry. Or let them eat leftovers, LOL.

We never got forced to eat anything, but we also knew our parents weren't going to bend over backwards to make something else. We didn't go out to eat often, but there were always enough options that I don't get the difficulty that some parents have. It just seems bizarre to me.

But seriously, what kind of places can't you go because they don't have anything your kids will eat?

We barely go out. He won't eat meat so just cut all of that out a d what's left is pizza or Mac n cheese

I'm lucky, and my 3 kids are all pretty good eaters. We need to for sure get them acclimated to more things though. My wife, as a stay at home Mother, falls back on the Digorno pizza, or Fries and Chicken Nuggets in the air fryer schtick a little too often.

However, I was pretty proud when yesterday we got Subway, and my daughter put lettuce, cucumber, olives, and pickles on her turkey sandwich! Son did lettuce and cucumbers, and then realized he didn't like cucumbers after eating most of them. Compared to the meat, mayo, and cheese they've been having, it was pretty amazing!

Wife and I get the chicken bacon ranch. I go deluxe for the extra meat, skip the cheese, and they will usually always put the extra cheese on the wife's!

Honestly ANYTHING my kid will eat I accept. He's the skinniest kid in his class by a big margin. We can't even buy him pants because for his length, the waist is always massive on him.

We've got him eating chicken about once a week now, so working on it.

It's easy to say "eat or you'll go hungry", but I could never live with taht.

I don't know. Maybe being a picky eater is a good thing? Anectodal, but I wasn't a picky eater, ate everything, all the time, and I've been overweight my whole life.

My son right now is like yours Noodle. Super skinny, super tall, and so I don't care what he eats. Both daughters though are tall, but got the pudge already going. Had a doctor already tell us our 2 year old was over weight. About slapped a bitch. She's fucking 2! But I also get it, because I really don't want my kids growing up fat. Kids these days are too much asshole.

I was never a truly picky eater myself either. But my parents did not have an eclectic style of cooking - it was the same 7 meals every single fucking week. And I ate a lot of it.

Trying to lose weight now.

Not eclectic but my Dad was the huge meal dinner party type on the weekends, and then my Mom was tasked with using up the leftovers all week.

But people are surprised when I tell them my BLT nights growing up was a load of bread, and had to be a couple pounds of bacon. There was only 1 rule. You make a new sandwich, put down 2 more slices in the toaster.

Had a lot of beef hash, to use up left over roasts, or taco casserole to use up a taco night. Wasn't terrible.

What kind of moron doctor says a 2yo is overweight? Unless they have fat rolls everywhere, there is no such thing. Most children don't lose their baby fat until they are right at 3. You can go into any daycare in the world and see this. The baby and toddler rooms are full of butterballs, the two year old rooms have kids that are thinning out but with fat tummies, legs and cheeks still. Only when you get to the 3+ rooms do you see legit skinny kids.

My daughter likes asparagus and brusselspouts, and will eat peppers if you just hand her one. One of my boys we have to tell that he can’t just eat fruit and vegetables for every meal, and the other will eat anything that comes into his orbit

with that many kids, do your kids not know what a normal cereal box looks like?

You think 3 kids is a lot? And they are still small so overall it’s not too bad yet

You know that they will eat though. They might miss one meal, but they're not going to starve themselves.

Agreed, but not at 4

Haven't eaten at Moe's in years. It was jam back in college.
But I sadly report the whole thing was off. I hope it's just this location. The salsa, olives, tomatoes and perhaps more but definitely those three were off. Chicken was exactly how I remembered it tho.
Probably just bad batch (although I have been countless times and this is literally the first)

Found these in the seasonal Isle at Aldi's last week and they're a bit of a disappointment. Too much maple and not enough bacon.
