With gluten free, dairy free and soy-free options to accommodate the increasing number food sensitivities in the little ones, these meals beat a happy meal any day of the week.

Us poor college kids usually know where to get a reasonable meal for a good price. I hate McDonald's to begin with...but when I went on a music student exchange trip to Germany when I was 18 and my friends kept insisting that they eat there just because they serve beer..I had just about enough. What a waste of an amazing opportunity.

I was absolutely thrilled to read David Kamp's article "Don't point that menu at my child, please" in the New York Times. He did an excellent job articulating a frustration that I've had for years over children's menus and the ubiquitous chicken finger.

William Henry McCarty (November 23, 1859 – July 14, 1881), better known as Billy the Kid, but also known by the aliases William Antrim and William Harrison Bonney, was a famous 19th century American frontier outlaw and gunman who was a participant in the Lincoln County War. According to legend he killed 21 men, one for each year of his life, but more likely he participated in the killing of less than half that number.McCarty (or Bonney, the name he used at the height of his notoriety) was 5'8-5'9 with blue eyes, smooth cheeks, and prominent front teeth. He was said to be friendly and personable at times, but he could also be short-tempered and determined. This made him a very dangerous outlaw, when combined with his shooting skills and cunning. He was also famous for (apparently) always wearing a sugarloaf sombrero hat with a wide green decorative band. He was little known in his own lifetime but was catapulted into legend in the year after his death when his killer, Sheriff Patrick Garrett, published a wildly sensationalistic biography of him called The Authentic Life of Billy, the Kid. Beginning with Garrett's account, Billy the Kid grew into a symbolic figure of the American Old West.
