There's no doubt of it. McDonald's dominates the U.S. This famous fast-food restaurant was started in 1940 by Don and Mac McDonald, and as been growing ever since. Everywhere I go, I end up seeing a couple of McDonald's. Scattered across the four corners of the globe, McDonald's is considered one of the "best" to go to for cheap and fast food. Adults go there on busy lunch breaks, and don't forget the toys which attract little children like a magnet and a bunch of paper clips. Some parents do not let children go to McDonald's, as the food there is considered greasy and extremely unhealthy. Children protest against this as "they want the toy and the Kids Meal." At the same time, it's right for a parent to refuse to let children go to McDonald's, and for kids to choose where they want to go for a meal.
Parents do have a reason to not let kids eat food from McDonald's as it's detrimental to people's health. McDonald's food contains very low nutrition value in important things, like Vitamins. Instead, they contain a lot of sugar, calories, and sodium, which makes people obese. McDonald's tries to hide the fact, and add a lot of unhealthy things into some of the most innocent meals, like their salads. Imagine many little children every day gobbling down some McDonald's food, unaware of how bad the food is to their health. In the movie Super Size Me, the director, Morgan Spurlock, tried to eat just McDonald's food for one month. During the experiment, he reported he felt obsessed and depressed. In the end, Spurlock found out he had gained a lot of weight and his risk of heart attack had increased. Before people eat McDonald's food, they should stop and think about what they're body is about to digest.
However, kids do deserve the right of what they can eat. To kids, McDonald's is very tempting to them, with the toys, the french fries, and other things. One way to make a kid happy is to take him to McDonald's. I loved going to restaurants like McDonald's when I was little. McDonald's also gives kids the experience of picking what to eat when they're alone in the future, and also boosts their decision-making skills. It is a free country, and it's not right for parents to not let their children experience fast-food in their lives. While the food is slightly unhealthy, kids deserve the chance to go there at least once.
Therefore, the are reasons why children should and should not go to McDonald's. However, it should be up to the child to decide whether he really wants to eat McDonald's.
