The moment I became a parent, I had to rearrange my thought process. My life was then centered around my child, who needed more attention and direction. My job as a parent is to protect my children from danger, both seen and unseen. In my opinion, taking children out to eat could possibly lead to a dangerous situation. From the outside looking in, this may seem like an easy task, however, taking children out to eat may lead to a surprising ending to your night with unexpected aftermath.
After sitting still for a short period of time, most children will run, jump, or play. This could be very dangerous in a public setting. This type of behavior increases the risk for choking, falling, or even being burned by hot drinks or food. Not only is

Because of this, some children may be allergic to some of the foods. When eating out, it is impossible to control the process of how the food is prepared. There’s no way to determine what products they use, how fresh the ingredients are, or how hygienic the cooks were when preparing the meal. Foods being under prepared or not cleaned properly could cause indigestion or food poisoning. Fast foods may also be too heavy for children’s little stomach’s.
Parents, like me, do our best to prevent all of these dangers and look after our children at all times, but sometimes that’s not enough. Letting the children have a sense of freedom in a restaurant is beneficial for the child, but it leaves the parents in a dilemma. If the parents are busy talking and eating, they pay little to no attention to their children; if parents watch their children, they cannot fully enjoy their time. Getting a babysitter is not always easy or cheap.
It is obvious that taking children to eat out is very hazardous to their health. On one hand, children being left alone with little to no supervision may choke on food or get burned; on the other hand, being looked after, they may still be in danger of receiving poor quality food, and while most adult stomach can stand it, children’s health may be undermined by food
Although the young children cannot read, at least the carer is warned. This will allow them to take special care with their hot food and drinks when they have children with them. Keeping hot drinks and food out of the reach of young children will also minimise the risk of them getting burnt, as said by North Bristol NHS trust. They also recommend that hot drinks should not be held at the same time as holding another child. Another adjustment they could make could be to put hot drinks into a special cup with a lid, that when tipped over does not spill and hot food could be left to cool for a few minutes before being served, meaning that it is not piping hot. As long as the parents and guardians are aware of the dangers associated with hot food and drinks, then this hazard shouldn’t hold a very high likelihood. My reasoning for suggesting this is that it will reduce the likelihood of a child or an individual getting burnt if the drink falls as the lid will stop the drink from spilling. The existing controls that are in place in the food court in the mall are signs warning of hot surfaces and although most adults should know that food will be served hot, I still believe signs for hot food should be shown. I would recommend this because it will remind the adults that the food may burn and this will in turn make them think more before giving the child the hot food.
In the movie 12 Angry Men, the panel of jurors is a group of men who have been influenced at the time by social bias and discrimination towards ethnicities that are not their own. They are deciding upon the fate of a young man who is on trial for killing his father and is of Puerto Rican descent. The general decision among the jurors was that the young man was guilty. However, the jurors did not go over the facts in the case; they tried to jump to a consensus until they realized the vote for guilty was eleven to one. Juror Number Eight in 12 Angry Men is a courageous citizen in the pursuit of justice among his peers; he showed the power of critical thinking and individual conviction in the face of discrimination and prejudice.
As a parent, you always want to make sure your child’s health is at its peak. However, when parents come home from a long and tiring day at work, and pick their kids up, their next dreaded thought is to what to make for dinner. Now, their options are endless and never the less convenient. Can you imagine thousands of kids in San Antonio just eating at the Taco Bell drive-thru every other day? What starts off as an innocent parent trying to feed their young eventually evolves into a bad and unhealthy habit of eating. These new eating
A lot of kids like to have healthy choices for meals. Some kids will not even eat at all because they have poor choices and so on they’ll have to go through three whole periods before getting to go home and actually eat something that taste good. Also, most food were given at lunch goes into the trash, but if we had fast food most of that food wouldn’t be going to waste as much.
In modern society, Canada has a serious problem that means should parents bring their noisy children to restaurant, yet it is also an issue in many other countries around the world. Some people say that parents should not bring their noisy children to restaurants, in others insisted parents can bring their children to restaurants. I believe that parents should bring their children, even though some people are annoyed by children who are noisy in restaurants. There are several reasons for this.
In addition, there are many children have many diseases and disorders in the US today but for cafeteria food there needs to be a side for the healthy and one side
The issue of nutritious meals for children has become a common topic in the media in the last several years. “Significant excess body weight affects over 25 per cent of children in developed economies…” (Hawkes and Lobstein, 2011), which presents one of the major markers for poor nutrition- childhood obesity’s prevalence. Although there have been highly publicized pushes for our children to be healthier, such as Michelle Obama’s school lunch program, American children are faced with a future that paints them as being unable to become anything but obese and nutritionally deficit. Changing the content and eating behaviors of children can “...prevent immediate health problems as well as promote a healthy lifestyle…[which may] reduce the risk of a child developing a chronic condition…later in life.” (Brown, 2011). Essentially, the focus has become preventing health problems rather than treating them after disease onset.

Women love when men cook them a homemade meal and men love when they can come home to work to dinner already ready. Also kids love has that sense of importance whenever one of their parents asked them for help in the kitchen. With how fast everyone is moving nowadays people do not want to take the time to cook a homemade meal so fast food or eating out seems more pleasing. Though eating out may seem more pleasing and easier there are complications that can occur due to eating out too much. Most fast food is place in boxes or handle with gloves that can a chemical called, Phthalates, this chemical is known to cause fertility issues, pregnancy complications and other health issues. In a study done by George Washington University and the University of California at Berkeley found that, “people who eat more fast-food or food prepared at restaurants or cafeterias had phthalate levels almost 35 percent higher than those who said they mostly cooked and ate their own food”(Allen Coe). This study just shows how harmful eating out can be for the human body and how its effects can take place before you even recognize it. Through cooking it not only allows you to bond but also allows for you to avoid chemicals like phthalates and many others that are harmful for your

When a child eats a Happy Meal at McDonalds they’re eating 520 calories per meal with a cheeseburger clocking in at 700 calories. Fast foods are convenient, easy and affordable; so fewer families are preparing meals at home. Fast foods are lacking nutritional balance and there is not any control on how it’s cooked, which is usually with a lot of oil and butter. Fast foods tend to lack fresh fruits and vegetables. Children need to know the consequences in eating foods high in calories, fats, sugar and chemicals. Children should avoid cholesterol, saturated fat, high sodium which is harmful to the immune system and can lead to Type II diabetes.

Children and their uncaring parents cause massive amounts of property damage, annoying noises, and messed in restaurants and owners feel like banning small children would help lower damage costs and would receive positive feedback from customers who don’t have their meals disturbed by screaming or running children, this has been proven to be true. Because of it preventing damages and the positive feedback it gets from customers, parents and nonparents alike, restaurants banning child is justified and good for business
