With such hectic schedule, it is common to find John his children in line at a McDonald's drive-thru, for some burgers, fries, and shakes.

"I know food isn't the healthiest thing I could give daughters," admits John. "But it's the most convenient around when we're in a rush. Plus, it them happy." Unfortunately, this attitude towards the unhealthiness fast food is one that so many parents the U.S. hold, and it is easy to why.

Nowadays, nearly every single city in America equipped with its own McDonald's. In Los Angeles , it can sometimes feel like there is one every other corner when you're driving around. As this didn't already make it hard enough for to avoid, McDonald's targets their famous "Happy Meals" children so that every time they drive by giant golden arches, children demand to go inside get a new toy with their meal.
