I Used to tell my (now almost 28 year old son) that if he misbehaved
I'd take him to McDonalds. We used to joke that all that place was
good for was to use their bathroom to take a "McPoop". I never took
him once for fast food, nor my 11 year old daughter.

Yes, it is possible to raise kids NOT on fast food. And it's a
particular challenge in this household with my husband being a junk
food addict. He does it primarily on his work hours though. Just
smelling him when he comes home sometimes gags me.
