It's the fast food place's fault because of subliminal advertising. And such. noooo.... just blame it on the teacher who called him pathetic |

Aikidoman - 2008-05-29 12:13 PM jdwright56 - 2008-05-29 9:10 AM Yeah - wheen they first told me I looked at the list and I asked the nurse "WTF am I supposed to eat" I was pretty sure it woould be pasta without sauce and plain white rice. They have some pretty good cookboooks for a renal diet though, so you can get by. The first thing my older daughter said to me after the surgery was "Does this mean we can go out for Pizza and Ice Cream now?" I have a plan if/when I ever have kids. Get them eating healthy right from the start so they get used to it. Sometimes I think by growing up eating meat and potatoes, and fewer veggies than I should, and thinking going to McDonald's was a "treat" to be looked forward to has made it harder. I want to instill in them that fast food is pretty much "bad" (like smoking and drugs).... Which of course, means they will do all three.... you nailed it! We started out our son eating well... lots of veggies, fruit, whole grains etc. But they get to an age where they see that McDonald's has a PLAYGROUND and BK is advertising this cool toy in the kids meal... Asparagus and Broccoli just can't compete with that stuff! heh! I can't WAIT to be able to blame corporations, media, and enterainment for all my parenting shortcomings. Nice to be able to shirk all responsibility.... . Wait, can't I start doing that now? Like start a drinking/drug problem and blame my parents.... Edited by Aikidoman 2008-05-29 11:31 AM |

When we drive by McD's or BK, my 6 year old says, "Mom, that's where people go to get fat, huh?" Yep. OK, so I brainwashed my kids...at least they don't bug me to eat fast food. WAY TO GO MOMMA!!!!! The first FRY our son had was given to him by my wife's friend, who is also a dietician at a hospital. yeah, that one perplexed me. |

That's the coolest thing I've ever heard in my life. That and `I was 10 before I realized my parents were lying and the car WOULD start before everybody's seatbelts were buckled.' |

The first FRY our son had was given to him by my wife's friend, who is also a dietician at a hospital. yeah, that one perplexed me. Interesting story.... I think some of our taste for "unhealthy" is in our DNA. For example, once we were at a picnic and someone had a baby that was "just" learning to drink from a cup. My wife (at the time) was holding her and she was grabbing for the coke can on the table. My wife (at the time) asked the parents if it was ok to give her a taste of the coke and the parents said "sure" but was not sure if she would like it since she never had soda before. Well, when the soda hit her lips, you could see her face change and her eyes lit up. She literally could not get enough. When my wife (at the time!) even tried to put the can back down, the girl would reach frantically for it and start to whine. She was only happy when sipping on it... It was really amazing and somewhat shocking to watch.... How the sweetness and sugar was so compelling.... |

Champion 5868 Urbandale, IA | Subject: RE: Bermuda Triangle for TAN... Aikidoman - 2008-05-29 11:29 AM TAN is always good for passing the time, but it seems I'm bored with the rest of BT. No threads in Tri Talk, or COJ look even remotely interesting to read, much less post. Maybe I'm going through vacation withdrawls and regular life seems a little less glamorous and a little more boring. My new goal it to make day to day life more fun..... Just thought of that while writing this..... Nah - I get that sometimes. What I do is stop looking at BT and do work. That's no fun either - but since I am getting paid for it, I figure I should do it every now and again. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: Bermuda Triangle for TAN... BTW - what the heck happened over the last week? I have been only doing the public transit system on my vacation so haven't been tracking gas prices, and I get home last night and gas prices are up 50 cents a gallon? WTF? - I'm paying more than 4 bucks a gallon now for 91 octane..... Holy carp. Maybe time to swith to commuting on the motorcycle..... |

Yup, it's pretty bad when it costs me $13.xx to put 3 gallons in my motorcycle. When I turned 16, I could fill my Accord for $13. Ha. When I turned 16 I could fill my Jeep for $12, and it had a big tank. I remember when I was that age I would put $5 in my tank and it'd last me a week. Wow. I'm old. |

When I was in high school, I told my parent that "someday, I'm going to have a half million dollar home." There response was "life isn't about money and how big your house is". Well, I have a half million dollar home, and it's a small P.O.S...... Times have changed..... Got to drop 1.5 mil to get something really nice around here.... |
