I've eaten my share of fast food in the past, but never as a child. Mom worked hard to keep us in good food--dessert was a homemade pie a few times a year, otherwise, not even on a Sunday did we have dessert. No Kool-Aid, no sugary cereals, no white bread. This was back in the 1960s and 70s, before the health food craze. We were working class and a family of six, and Mom and Dad made every penny work twice, so what would have gone into convenience foods got spent starting and running several successful businesses, instead, and I was 17 before a cheap date took me to McDonald's, which I'd never been to. I ate French fries because everything looked gross, and my date horked down two cheeseburgers. He had orange cheese smeared all over his teeth. The good times, great taste of McDonald's.
