Ärende: kids and fast food
==========================
Hi Jim,


 RH> going for fast food they [...] had little kids that wouldn't
 RH> eat a "proper restaurant" meal.

 JW> I think most kids will go for a real meal 3 times out of 4 if they are

But most of the time their choice seems to be fast food--or that's what
their parents take them to because it's cheap & nobody cares how much
noise there is & running around is done by kids hyped up from the starch
converted to sugar.

 JW> given a choice. Neekha much prefers a steak house or Vietnamese noodle
 JW> house over Mickey Dee's. And she never orders from the kid's menu. The

She's an exception to the rule anyway. (G) According to Rachel tho,
Robert's favorite sweet treat is raisins.

 JW> only time she goes to Mickey's is when she is with a group of other
 JW> young kids. (Alex will eat anything, anywhere with great gusto.)

Pack mentality there for Neekha enjoying McD's with her peers.  Alex is
at the age where food is fun, the messier the better. (G)


 JW> When planning our last company barbecue/beach party it was assumed the
 JW> parents would all want steaks and the kids hotdogs and hamburgers. I
 JW> suggested they ask. Every single kid wanted a steak except some hungry
 JW> teenagers who requested both. "I want a burger appetizer and a steak
 JW> with a side of hot dogs."

Sounds typical teen.  My younger brother was eating like that when he
was Neekha's age tho.  Most kids would be happy with a burger but if
given a chance to hav a steak, won't turn the offer down.  How much they
eat of it may be a different matter tho.

 JW> Some more Swiss dishes....

Timing all done with Swiss watches of course. (G)
