I will not give Kendall fast food until she is MUCH older...and then it will be limited to a special treat. We are trying really hard to focus on good nutrition for her. We still really don't give her juice or any sugar filled foods. She really enjoys dairy (tons of milk and cheese) so we stick to that with whole grain breads, pasta, meats and veggies (well, we're currently on a veggie strike, but we're working on them..LOL). Kendall enjoys eggs, oatmeal and toast in the morning, fruit for a snack, grilled cheese for lunch and whatever we eat for dinner (usually a meat, potato and veggie). At night she snacks on goldfish crackers, fruit or graham crackers.

My confession.....I eat McDonalds about 4 times per week. The employees know me at the drive thru.....how sad is that?!?

We eat fast food once a month...maybe. Of course our favorite fast food place closed in December due to flooding and they won't be re-opening. That leaves us(at the moment)with McDonalds...YUCK. Once a month is what we are at now, however, this summer we are getting my FAVORITE fast food place...Burger King, so..we may be eating out 2-3 times a month at that point. One thing I don't get my kids when getting a happy meal is pop...they get chocolate milk.

That's way to much. My kids get fast food maybe once every few weeks!! If they're lucky. Otherwise it's a home cooked meal.

It depends on what you're getting. Most food at fast food joints is junk. So, I'd say if you can afford it by going there every day or even a few times a week, more power to you but your body won't be healthy

I ate a lot more fast food when I was pregnant than I care to admit. Couldn't help myself and I blame those nasty pregnancy hormones on it! Now that I have a baby at home I seldom eat it---maybe once or twice a month at most. One reason is because it isn't so fast whenyou have to get a baby ready to leave the house. The other reason is because it just doesn't taste as good as something I would cook at home and besides that, I have to get this baby weight off!!
I do not want Ben to eat it very often when he is old enough to eat adult food. I am sure he will haveit once in awhile, but not every day or every week. Probably about like me---once a month.

We eat take away usually once a week, which includes either Fish n Chips, Pizza, Hungry Jacks (we get discount, as my DS works there) or Chicken & Chips, as these r the cheapest.

Occassionally we go and get Maccas (McDonalds). We all love Maccas, but it is just to expensive .

I cook every night of the week, except for a Friday, which is our Take Away night.

We usually eat take-away once a month or so, we might have it once a week for a few weeks then nothing for months. If we do have McDOnalds I try to opt for one of the salads and in Australia (not sure about US) we now have healthy pasta meals with milk instead of soda for the kids. I try to set a good example but if it were up to DH then we'd have it almost every day YUCK!
