Are Fast Food Joints To Blame For Obese Kids

Fast Food Joints to Blame for Obese Kids? By Elton Camp McDonald’s is sometime singled out for blame Of other similar places we can claim the same Their food is filled with calories, fat and salt And to eat such worthless tripe, nobody ought But to say this is the main reason kids are fat It would be very hard to go along with that Ronald McDonald doesn’t drag them in the door And say, “Eat our fattening food and nothing more.” It is the parents alone who have the right to decide That to the fast-food place, kids they’ll take a ride It is only reasonable and sensible that we expect Little ones will eat the type food that parents direct And there are now far better offering to decide Not just hamburgers and some salty, greasy side So the blame for obesity let’s put in the right place If a little kid’s too fat, it is to the parents’ disgrace
