I heard a kid at McDonald's say to it's parent's "I want a happy meal" and I thought when I was a kid I was happy to have a meal and a not that great one at that.
I hear ya. My dad rarely ever bought us fast food. With the exception of Chinese food. It was our one Friday a month treat for a long time. We'd get a big order of combination rice and an order of egg rolls from a place down the street from us.
Otherwise it was what ever he made or what my mom (in the even that she cooked) made for dinner....
