My good friend Bob had a great point about fast food…I think this is how the business model addicts so many kids - courtesy of unsuspecting parents:

"Fast food is extremely unhealthy, specifically for a child. Not only are the foods fried, homogenized, hydrogenated and otherwise altered, they’re also laced with chemical additives, taste enhancers, processed sugars, food coloring and other unhealthy substances. Oddly enough, many parents actually reward their children for good behavior by buying them unhealthy fast food meals, creating a psychological association between good feelings and junk food. Fast food restaurants often exploit this psychological link by building playgrounds and running feel-good advertisements that emphasize friends and fun, then link those good feelings to their food products." - Bob Shaefer
