Children love food from popular fast-food outlets. Fast-food tempts with its taste, aroma, colourful box or accompanying toy. By succumbing to a toddler's persuasion to go out to a restaurant for another burger, we are actually not only teaching them unhealthy eating habits, but we are also damaging their health. On the other hand, the more we forbid children from eating chips and hot dogs, the more they will enjoy the forbidden fruit. "Food terror" is not advisable. Is there a more sensible solution?
