From Vimeo, even I’d take time to eat a proper breakfast if it was this fun. Forget TV, forget the computer, just give me a beat machine made of bread and fruit.

I generally eat pretty well, though like most others I indulge myself in the occasional treat. While personally McDonalds doesn’t factor into that list of indulgences, I know that many a child gets more than an occasional Happy Meal craving.
A recent post over at Boing Boing will likely change your mind about giving in. Some lady has apparently saved a McDonald’s hamburger for 12 years (I know what you’re thinking) and you can hardly tell its not fresh. Her 1996 hamburger has somehow preserved itself, meat, bun and all without any apparent ill effects.
I pity the children whose parents take advantage of dollar menus and such… kids who need to somehow extract nutrients from crap like this in order to grow up “big and strong.”
Sure, this may have been faked, but is it worth taking the chance with your children? I don’t know about you, but McDonald’s is going to stay off my treat list until I’m a little closer to being embalmed.
This article actually has 10 suggestions, vs the healthy eating post from earlier today.
I’d suggest that this one might prove as beneficial for the parents as it will for the kids. We all know that once a child gets something in his/her head it’s difficult to reprogram them. I can still remember harrassing my parents about recycling back in the day. As such, these little items may not only help your kids in the near term, but also the planet in the near and long term.
So, the list… here we go:
You can find the article here.
Nothing like a top 10 list to ease the pressure of posting, particularly when its referencing content posted elsewhere
In this case elsewhere is CBC.ca and the content is a number of recommendations to get your children to choose healthy foods rather than junk.
A few examples (paraphrased from the article):
Strangely I didn’t get ten suggestions out of this one, but perhaps there are a few that I missed. Have a look for yourself.
