I almost didn’t do this video.
I honestly thought it would be too wacky and out of the box for some readers to handle.
My change of heart occurred when one of my children said, “Mom, you HAVE to do that video”.
Out of the mouths of babes.
So here I am posting a video about the best trick I know for teaching your kids about the dangers of fast food and hopefully keeping them far far away from it forever – even once they are out of the house and making their own decisions.
While this trick won’t work for older children, if your kids are still quite young, it should work well.  My three kids want absolutely nothing to do with fast food and that includes my teenager who has more freedom away from his parents and has the opportunity to indulge if he chose to.
So here it is.   What do you think? Too wacky or totally on target?
Mom Versus Fast Food (Mom Wins)

What do you do when you have little kids and travel in the road especially in small towns? I don’t want the mess and they eventually need more than fruit.
I don’t care to buy their food and waste my money. Every kid is different. If you know how your kid works, teach them the way they need.

We used to eat fast food but last December, we decided that we were no longer going to buy it. My kids were 2 and 4 at the time. They really liked going to McDonalds. I told them that it wasn’t good for them. It’s been over 10 months now and they never ask for fast food at all now. Even if we drive past it, they never bring it up. I hope when they are Oder, they continue to stay away from it.
Love it!
Oh, and I too am proud because my smallest doesn’t even know what a hot dog is. We were driving by some prairie dogs (all over Colorado) and she got very excited pointing out the window yelling “HOT DOGS!” 🙂
I showed my daughter the segment of Jamie Oliver’s show where he showed the kids what chicken nuggets were made of. She has no interest now.
