The Very Thought!

question_mark.jpgIn the one and a half years I've been doing this blog, I've grown numb to the offers of the hundreds of spam comments I get each day.

Now, my advertising contract with the fabulous BlogHer precludes me from laying out the specifics of these offers. But let's just say that if, at THIS VERY MOMENT, I wished to engage in a game of naked online poker in which my opponents were an assortment of fake personal body parts of women and recently-become-women of a variety of races—and simultaneously broadcast that game on a webcam to thousands of enthusiastic viewers—these robo-commenters would be happy to show me how. INSTANTLY. And I could probably win, like, $50,000, too, and have guaranteed income for life.

You should see how quickly I can (1) select all, (2) hit delete on that Junk Comments page.

But yesterday one robo-comment finally threw me for a loop.

The promise? "Flush caffeine from your body, instantly!"

Why? Why?? Why would I waste that perfectly good $3.35 latte?

That was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Just plain nasty. The very thought!

About This

First came the job: founding editor of a magazine for fast-food industry executives. Then came marriage.

Then came the baby in the baby carriage—and a new perspective on the world in which that baby will grow up.

Now I'm using my fast-food (quick-serve) industry expertise to filter restaurant news and information to other parents. Join me and other parents as we figure out how to raise our Quicksies to make good choices in a world where fast food is part of life.
