To juleinny... I take my kids (NOT brats!) out to eat at least 3 times a week and none of them have a weight issue. My children (NOT brats) are all very active in sports and after school activities. McDonalds and Burger King are not the issue! If I had to guess, I'd say you don't have any children (or brats??) so don't assume you know everything.
