Fast forward almost 30 years and fast food is a daily meal replacement for people. The food is bigger and more fattening than it was when I was a kid. Some families are too tired, lazy, inept, whatever, to place meals within the family context. Everyone's eating until their brains fall out.

It sounds disgusting, but was really good (if they left the tarter sauce out). It was taken off of the menu when people started asking "where's the bacon?" because everyone just knows that a Club Sandwich has bacon on it! 
As for the Happy Meal, why are so many people unwilling to parent their own kids? Have kids become accessories to a family, so that nobody ever has to say no, or because it's not good for you, or (heaven forbid!) you will not embarrass me? I knew "the look" before I was three, and for the life of me, I cannot understand parents who lost their spine with the afterbirth!

We've got sandwiches like this and KFC's "Double Down" (a sandwich with two fried chicken filets instead of bread?!?) and we wonder why so many Americans - children and adults - are obese.
Of course the Happy Meals are marketed to children, and the toys are part of that. So the children "nag their parents to bring them to McDonald's" to get the toys. There's a wonderful little word that all parents should learn well: NO.
