McDonalds: To Treat Or Not to Treat?! #sponsored

When it comes to offering up treats for special occasions, my 2 year old son Tyne has his firm favorite requests.
Quite often it'll be a Thomas Mini he'll ask for, or a kinder egg - another firm favorite is a trip to "Old McDonalds" - which is how he chooses to refer to good old McDonalds!
Now I have to admit, when these requests come up - I always feel a little torn.
I remember so clearly from my own childhood the excitement I'd feel at the prospect of a visit to the yellow arches - my aunt would often take me and my cousins on trips to the cinema and afterwards we'd always stop for a Maccy D's on the way home! There was something so special about those trips, myself and my closest cousin were the oldest - so while the rest of the gang sat together with their happy meals she & I would slink off to our own little table for two and indulge in our oh-so-grown up McChicken Sandwhiches!
I remember how much I loved those McDonalds visits, and I want to give my own children the same enjoyment - but on the other hand you hear so many bad things about what goes in to McDonalds these days that I can't help but wonder whether we should be allowing these treats.
Where McChicken Sandwhiches were my own personal choice as a kid, Tyne is all about the Chicken McNugget happy meals - we've all seen the disgusting videos and score mongering memes on Facebook about what goes into these products and it does play on my mind - even though deep down I don't believe any of it!
So when I recently saw the below video, I was relieved to have my mind put at rest - McDonalds Chicken McNuggets are made from 100% chicken breast - not feet, not beak - chicken breast!!! It's really that simple!
Of course I don't intend on giving him these meals for every dinner, but for the occasional treat it's certainly reassured me!
