No McDonalds? YOU ARE AN UNFIT PARENT!
 

Man deemed ‘unfit parent’ after refusing son McDonald’s
http://tinyurl.com/kxv8eed

A man is suing a court-appointed psychologist who deemed him an unfit parent after he refused to take his kid to the Holy Grail of the American obesity epidemic: McDonald’s. Of all of the reasons to potentially lose visitation rights with your kid, this has to be the cheesiest. Actually, make mine a double cheesiest.

As The New York Post reports, “Attorney David Schorr slapped a court-appointed shrink with a defamation lawsuit for telling the judge deciding a custody battle with his estranged wife that he was an unfit parent — for refusing to take his son to the fast food joint for dinner.” This is America, after all: If there’s one freedom no one can take away, it’s a four-year-old’s right to eat a 3,000-calorie meal.

The not-so-Happy Meal began when Schorr wanted to take his kid to a restaurant called Corner Cafe for dinner. “But the boy threw a temper tantrum and demanded McDonald’s. So he gave his son an ultimatum: dinner anywhere other than McDonald’s — or no dinner,” according to the New York Post. The child chose no dinner.

Unfortunately, court psychologist Mary Schiller had a problem with this. Because as any good psychologist knows, if there’s one way to reinforce good behavior in a child, it’s to give him whatever he wants as long as he screams about it.

After the incident, the mother immediately took the child to McDonald’s. It’s the oldest trick in the book: if Dad says no, just ask Mom.

Perhaps it’s a sad testimony to how much McDonald’s is ingrained in a 4-year-old’s perception of the world. If nothing else, at least McDonald’s marketing team deserves a raise.

Congratulations for making it unacceptable for people to refuse to give greasy, corporate fast food to kids.

Now quick, someone call Child Protective Services! The neighbor’s kid was just refused a second helping of mashed potatoes at KFC!

Holy shit.

I have taught my kids to hate Mcds and Walmart.

And they do.

:spock: Wow. Just wow. I hope there's more to this story...

wow.
there were ties I wouldn't eat because I didn't like what we were having for dinner. My dad said 'well, then I guess you'll be hungry".

later in the night, I'd go into the kitchen to get some cereal or something; my dad, would had his 'spot' in the kitchen playing guitar, smoking etc, would say "Hey....what are you doing? Sorry, the kitchen's closed"

lol. and he was right. I was a hungry MF the next day at school

Show me the 3,000 calorie meal on their menu. :BS:

Me too. It's the only time I encourage them to use the word "sucks". Pretty much anytime anyone mentions either one, my son says " walmart (or mcd) sucks." I'm probably an unfit parent.

Unfit parents unite.

You have to admit, their fries are really good.

Ever notice how if you drop a McDonald's French Fry in between the seats of your car, you can find it two years later and it looks exactly the same? No decomposition at all.

Them's some good preservatives.

I swear, my mom used to take me to Wal-Mart specifically to whip my ass. I didn't leave there without a spanking until I was like 9. Every. Damn. Time.

"Mom, can I get this G.I. Jo--" "**** YOU!!!!!"

Curious; specifically McD's or all fast food restaurants?

Had he fed them McDs the dumb government officials would do the same thing for letting the kid eat unhealthy food. More Tax Payer money used to harass the Tax Payers unnecessarily.

Hating McD is an American right.

If I drop a McDonald's french fry, I'm going in after it. It's not going to wait two years.

So did the judge actually buy that? It's one thing for a shrink to say that, but can't the judge exercise some common sense?

Everyone be worried, these are the 'good shrinks' making these kinds of choices. The 'bad shrinks' get hired as HR people.

Mary Schiller is probably a fat individual, and kid probably wanted himself some puss-filled chicken nuggets anyway. His money.. his food... eat what he wants or learn a lesson and miss a meal for that day.

The highest I could come up with is the following:

Double Quarter Pounder (w/ Cheese): 730 Cals
Large Fries: 570 Cals
Coca-Cola Classic (Large) 32 fl oz: 310 Cals

That is 1610 calories. That's a lot, and that's more than a kid needs. I still agree with the spirit of Mr. Blowfish's post, even though it is technically incorrect.

no, taco bell is OK

That's pretty much a Play-By-Play to eating McDonald's french fries. ROFL

Not all, but very rare.

We might get a Wendys or ChikFila once every few months.

Chili cheese burritos FTW

That's why they invented the Happy Meal.

to lazy to quote

The plus-size meal — which is meant to feed two or more — contains two Quarter Pounders with cheese, 10 Chicken McNuggets and two medium fries for just $14.99 (and 2,940 calories!).

What, no dessert? What kind of parent are you?

I believe the answer here would be..."unfit".

Chocolate Triple Thick Shake 32 fl oz cup: 1,160 Cals

...for a grand total of....

2770 Cals

That's ALMOST at the gblowfish 3000 Cal mark

McDonald's Chocolate Triple Thick Shake (32oz)
Calories: 1160
McDonald's Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese
Calories: 740
500 calories in 1 serving of McDonald's French Fries (Large)

plus a cookie.. and I know u can't resist them soft drinks so give or take 3k calories.

While at it... get a start on breakfast.

McDonald's Deluxe Breakfast (Large Size Biscuit) w/o Syrup & Margarine
Calories: 1140

I thought to myself while reading this "It's gotta be in California or New York", and sure as shit, it was.

BTW: I never said anything about the calorie count, that's in the original story. I just posted the article.

2 mcdoubles. Large fry. Drink. And large flurry is probably 3kplus

Are we at the take out window yet?

So how come you don't crap out undigested chewed up french fries?

What kid eats two double cheeseburgers with his meal and has a large ice cream desert?

If you let the kid eat like that anywhere he's going to be a fatass.

i must be unfit because i don't let my kids eat that crap.

It sounds like the parent was said to be unfit because he denied the child a meal, not because of where the meal he requested was from.

How big a bitch is the wife? Sounds like the Dad was just trying to do the right thing. We don't know the entire history with the couple, but I'll bet it's not pretty.

This. A little more detail in the NY. Post

But the boy threw a temper tantrum and demanded McDonald’s. So he gave his son an ultimatum: dinner anywhere other than McDonald’s — or no dinner.
“The child, stubborn as a mule, chose the ‘no dinner’ option,” the disgruntled dad says in the suit.
“It was just a standoff. I’m kicking myself mightily,” Schorr said.
“I wish I had taken him to McDonalds, but you get nervous about rewarding bad behavior. I was concerned. I think it was a 1950s equivalent of sending your child to bed without dinner. That’s maybe the worst thing you can say about it,” he said.
Adding insult to injury, he said: “My wife immediately took him to McDonalds.”
Upon reflection, Schorr said he should have remembered that mother knows best.
“The first thing I did was I questioned myself,” he recalled.
“Had I done something wrong? I did what any 43-year-old Jewish man would do — I told my mother. I said, ‘My God, did I do something wrong here?’
“Even my mother, the strictest mother in the world, said, ‘Why didn’t you just take him to McDonalds? What were you thinking? You know that this is a divorce situation.’”


Before dropping his son off at his wife’s E. 84th Street building, Schorr says he tried to make light of the situation by horsing around with him and trying one last time to change his mind about dinner.
But the son apparently tattled on his dad and his wife flipped out and called the shrink, according to the suit.
Schorr claims that Dr. Schiller only interviewed the child and his mother and never asked for his side of the story before telling the court she was gravely concerned about Schorr’s parenting.
Bari Yunis Schorr sued her husband for a divorce in 2011, just four years after they married in a lavish ceremony at the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan.
She recently filed motions asking the judge to punish her husband for flouting court orders and for a judgment on nonpayment of child support.
Her attorney, Louis I. Newman, declined to comment on the McDonald’s matter.
“It’s a litigation between Mr. Schorr and Mrs. Schiller,” Newman said.
In the past two and a half years that he has had partial custody of his son their time together “has run smoothly without incident” save a scraped knee, Schorr insists in the suit.

YEAH BIG MAN!!

WHY!?!?!?

It's interesting how much fast food chains are villianized like they force people to go there. They're called "fast food chains" not "everyday food chains". Taking kids or going to one yourself EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE shouldn't be considered toxic.

There was a McDonalds near my house that had the indoor tunnels and slides and my son loved to go to; took him once every couple of weeks. The thing I noticed was that most of these kids weren't even eating their food; they were playing most of the time and the parents had to beg them to eat their food...and few, including my boy, didn't even come close to finishing (which is how I packed on a few pounds).

McDonalds and the others only want one thing from you and your kid...and that's money. They not trying to make them little fatties. Could they make their menu be healthier? Sure...but when they have, those healthier items don't do so well...and who's fault is that?

FYP

He should have made the kid a burger, baked some fries, and grabbed a carbonated apple juice. Then go by the local dollar store together to pick out a crappy toy.

I have to take my boys to McD this month
MCRIBB IS BACK

yes I know they suck
yes I know I suck

but I loved McRibb once
and like that old girlfriend they ain't getting better as time goes by...

Try looking up the McDonald's hamburger science project!

Can you tell which of the two McDonald's hamburgers is 3 years old?

No you can't!

Try leaving a home cooked burger out in a cool dry place for 3 years and you'll notice something similar.

Bread dehydrates and cooked meat doesn't decompose like rotting flesh.

Why are you so sure you don't?

They used to be ok. Way to salty.
Anymore though, since they had to change them or the grease they
cook in. They taste just as bad as any other fast food chain.

Nah, I still think they are the best. I read somewhere that they put beef flavoring in them.

Also, I hate when fast food places don't salt their fries. I know I can put my own salt on from a little packet, but it's impossible to get even coverage. The salt just piles up on top.

I used to work at McD's back in the 80's when they used animal shortening to fry the fries, pies and McNuggets. I said DAMN that was good stuff...then they tried to go "healthier" (which I assumed meant "cheaper") with vegetable oil. Fries and nuggets have not been great at all since IMO, and they don't even fry the ****in' pies anymore.
