I almost didn’t do this video.
I honestly thought it would be too wacky and out of the box for some readers to handle.
My change of heart occurred when one of my children said, “Mom, you HAVE to do that video”.
Out of the mouths of babes.
So here I am posting a video about the best trick I know for teaching your kids about the dangers of fast food and hopefully keeping them far far away from it forever – even once they are out of the house and making their own decisions.
While this trick won’t work for older children, if your kids are still quite young, it should work well.  My three kids want absolutely nothing to do with fast food and that includes my teenager who has more freedom away from his parents and has the opportunity to indulge if he chose to.
So here it is.   What do you think? Too wacky or totally on target?

BRAVO
My one problem with this: the toy isin’t good either…
Remember that this is the approach I used starting 14 years ago .. there weren’t even GMOs in the food supply then.
As of *now*
I was surprised by it and actually didn’t care for it. I was surprised that you would even support the company by buying something, even if the food just went in the trash. My kids are only two and four so maybe I’ll look at it differently when they’re old enough to know what mcdonalds is but as of know I tell my four year old why we don’t eat certain places that he has asked about
On our way home the other day, my 7 y.o. son was looking out the window and asked, “Is Wendy’s the same as Mc Donalds?” I was proud that he has no idea what ANY of these fast food places are like because he has never been to one. He doesn’t even know the “food” comes with toys!

I thought it was hilarious 🙂 If it works, it works! Remember, by small & simple things to great things come to pass. Your small act of… I don’t even know the word for it… could most definitely affect generations. And that’s a very good thing.
This was awesome. Helped me better explain to my 4 year old how dangerous and just plain bad fast food is.
