I used to take a bus to go to work in the suburbs..a more industrial part of that area.

A young mother used to board the bus with her 3-4 yr. old daughter in stroller. Several mornings, she gave her daughter ..a bottle to suck on: chocolate milk.

It's one thing to do this um..for breakfast maybe 1-2 times per year. But several times per month?? Her daughter at that time, still looked ok..not too chubby..yet.

I try not judge families at Burger King or McDonald's. It maybe actually be a rare, special occasion for some families to have a junk food restaurant meal, as a "treat". (Yes, I know, strange thinking.) It was for my family.

But true, the more telliing/revealing point is what families eat regularily..at home.
