When I was a little girl, I would always get excited to go to the McDonald’s drive through! It was not the delicious french fries but the surprise of a toy that I rejoiced over!

Now, I am told placing a toy in a McDonald’s ‘Happy Meal,’  helps with the growing epidemic of obesity! I have not been to a McDonald’s in awhile but when I do go, i still reach out for a happy meal! I am still a kid at heart!

I mean, McDonald’s restaurant is better in health than it use to be 10 years ago! It gives an option of apples, rather than fries. There is an option for juice or milk rather than soda.

At the end of the day, the parents are the ones placing unhealthy foods in their children’s mouths. Why is McDonald’s being sued?

It surprised me to hear that Silicon valley county has banned toys! It is no longer a happy meal to me! But, I guess it is for the best.

Maybe in the long run we will have healthier and happier children in our world by reducing high in calories, salts, and fats in their dietary( as well as our own)! Kids are visual learners!

Yes, it was a challenge when I started trying to eat healthier for medical reasons a year ago,but now it is becoming a routine I enjoy without the bland taste!

Although hot McDonald fries are bad for the healthy on a daily basis, it can still be a guilty pleasure to indulge in once in awhile. Just remember, it is okay in moderation to still have a tasty,but not so healthy treat once in awhile! Do not do it on a daily basis!

I highly recommend cutting up the McDonald coupons if you are trying to live a healthier and more enriching lifestyle. Do not be a couch potatoe! You will thank yourself later!

Remember, the person you are today helps establish the person you will become tomorrow! Have fun! Eat healthy!
