It is absolutely incredible that your children have never been inside a fast-food restaurant. I really admire that. You are very committed. I, on the other hand, am a little more conflicted and have a love/hate relationship with fast food. I have cut waaaaaay back in my consumption of fast food over the years. In college, it was a staple and when I was working as a busy reporter, drive-thrus were Godsends, but these days, I might make it into a fast food restaurant maybe once every few months ... Not too bad.
And if I'm with my nieces or nephews, we always try to get them involved in making their food -- whether it's make your own pizza night or something else. A few times we've tried to take them out for more exotic food like Thai or tapas, but they both bombed. Should've known. And while we're trying to be healthy, they just think we're weird.
