Superstarve Me

I have never taken my daughter to McDonald's. I don't think she's ever been there, in her life.
She's 5..mcd.jpg
I'm doing my small part to combat childhood obesity. I'm also doing my part to combat parental obesity.
She quite possibly might be the only 5 year old in America who could say she's never been under the golden arches.
I think I deserve some kind of trophy, a bronze salad maybe, for this.
I probably haven't taken my son there more than once in his 11 years, either. I heard him telling someone the other day that "I don't really eat at those places.''
And he wasn't bitter about it.
Would I be able to get on a talk show with this information?
