News 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!

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.

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!!!!!"

Not all, but very rare.

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

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

Dayze · 11-11-2013, 01:12 PM

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

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.
