No McDonalds? YOU ARE AN UNFIT PARENT!

Man deemed ‘unfit parent’ after refusing son McDonald’s

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!

Them's some good preservatives.

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.

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.
