Summary

Parents have a lot on their plate, trying to raise and support their children. At the end of the day, battling with your child to eat healthy food may seem like a battle you’re too tired to fight. Hence why so many parents turn to giving their kids food like chicken fingers, french fries, grilled cheese, and mac and cheese. The kids eat it without a fight…that’s great, right?
While in the moment this may seem like the easiest and best option, what are all these deep fried and processed foods doing to your children’s health, in the short term and the long term? Unfortunately, restaurants in America are fueling the convenience of giving children deep fried and processed foods with their kids meal options. They are cheap, quick, and put a smile on your kid’s face. But at what cost? That’s why it’s time for us to explore the Fatal Convenience: Kids Meals.

05:14: What is the history of the kids menu?
10:28: How can these foods impact kid’s health as an adult?
