Is McDonalds A Sign Or A Sign Not To Take Our Children There? - AfroChat - African American

Now I'm not one to venture into the Golden Arches but when I pass by one each and every day, I see more and more famlies going into that hell hole!! Years ago it was ok to go there and buy a burger or two.. But now it's sooooo unsafe!!!! :eek: .

I managed a Mickey Dee's when I was in my 20's and I'll tell ya what, it wasn't pretty back then either. My boss used to tell me if a burger fell on the floor it's "ok". NO!! it wasn't ok with me because I quit on the spot.

I then found out later that they have a manufacturing facility which uses wood chips in the food.

I'm not done yet folks. A few years ago while a child was playing in the Ronald McDonald Thingiemabug with all those balls. A 4 yr old boy died because some dumb *** left a hyperdermic needle in the play area and the poor child died!!

My "lil people" aren't major fans of McDonalds anyway so it's alright. But please be careful. You never know. There's always something happening out there. Let's look out for our kiddos please!!

I no longer eat McDonalds. I used to eat their fries on occaision and still have a mcflurrie once in a while...but I have not been to one in a few years to actually eat. I was never big on McDs though.

Everyone needs to watch "Super Size Me" to see why they need to keep their kids away. One really sad thing the movie showed was that in some inner city areas, the playland was the only safe park for kids.....so naturally they are gonna want to eat. All that on top of the fact that north americans are addicted to fast food. We are killing ourselves on it.

First of all, if anyone goes to McD's expecting a healthy and nutritious meal, they are smoking something. It's fast food.

Given the thousands of stores in the U.S. and the amount of accidents that happen at a MCD's I would say it's very safe.

It's a sign for somebody to be in the kitchen slingin' a few pots and pans... :-)

You'd be surprised at what happens in the kitchens of your favorite restaurants. Fast food or not it's unacceptable. I've always been a fan of Burger King myself ;)

I don't eat at McDonalds...

There was a child who was in the playpen as well and there was a snake in there. It bit him of course. I never found out what happened to him. My mother was telling me about it.

Okay, so I guess I will go fix my lunch for work tomorrow, because I was going to have mcdonalds for sure, its the closest. I often think about how you really have no idea how what is going into your body has been handled.

The problem I have with that movie, Super Size Me, is that's ALL he ate. Now I eat there, mainly breakfast and the fries...(I'm a Jack in the Box girl).

M O D E R A T I O N!!!!!!

Who said that a big mac a day was healthy? Eat a salad, have some fruit. I'm so sick and tired (put me on blast, we'll talk) of Americans and their obsession with 'fat' in food. Have you seen how Europeans eat, particularly Italians and the French. They actually put Butter...BUTTER on sandwiches...know why, it's actually (are you sitting down) better for you than MAYO!!! And on a ham and cheese it's actually pretty good. But then again they also don't sit down at Claim Jumper and order the crab cakes.

That's the word!
