    And on another note, how peoples waistlines are going to the extreem.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3752597.stm[^] Now I like food, and so do kids, but parents must be able to spot somethings up when their childs weight is twice what it should be at a given age!

        mom and dad should be lockedup, it's about time, parents be required to be parents. I am sitting in my flame proof buncker, so don't even bother. by the way, perl stinks.

          "Some may say the parents are responsible, but if a child is demanding food it can be very difficult to refuse it." OK, parents, say it with me...."No" There, that wasn't too hard was it? Jeff Martin Triple20 Software

            If we ban Maccie D's from every control in the world, we'd be a lot thinner and probably half the world's energy consumation. I've made in a rule in our household from day one - the kid's won't be going to Maccie D's.

What I would have thought was discipline when I was growing up, it now called abuse. Good grioef, kids think that taking the #%#%#%# TV away from them is abuse! Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

My answer is no, don't ban McD; everyone is capable of walking past and deciding whether they're eating well. Ignorance is no excuse. Your possibly right about banning MacD trips with your children, though. Of course they'll go my themselves when they're teenagers, but by then you'd hope they have some common sense (if that's possible for teenagers to have :)). My own son is too young for burgers (not on solid foods yet). We won't ban McD, but we won't be going there regularly either. I think that's the best way to teach a child that 'a little of what you fancy does you good' as my grandmother used to say. Dr Herbie Remember, half the people out there have below average IQs.

And my kids certainly won't be making the trip to Maccie's, thats in later life they don't won't a touch of Crutzfeldt-Jacobs in later life. But is each to their own X|
