Before becoming a parent, I never went into fast-food places. Actually, as a natural food lover who has local, organic food as much as possible, I avoided them altogether. But a shift occurred when my mother suggested we stop at Wendy�s because it had a place for my 3-year-old son to play. She ordered a coffee, I drank an orange juice, and my son immediately became absorbed in swinging on a set of soft monkey bars. A few days later, we stopped at a McDonald�s with an indoor play area.
