I had a friend at Uni who had grown up in a strictly vegan household, and as soon as she got 'out into the real world' on her own she would GORGE herself silly on every kind of junk food she could find, mainly because she had never tried any of it before. She ended up with terrible skin and quite overweight because of it.

So my personal opinion is that you should expose your kids to all types of food, and yes - takeaways should be treats rather than the norm, but hey we are all human and have days where we just cant face cooking! My nephew is 2 and we sometimes have fish n chips at our house when he is over, he has a few chips and the fish minus the batter. He thinks its a great treat!

At 9 months, she spends more time smooshing it into what ever she is sitting on rather than eating it
I call it entertainment food rather than junk food

Oh and I am not too worried about the repercussions of offering it to her. I don't give her fizzy drink in her bottle or a big slice of chocolate cake every day to keep her quiet. There are a lot worse things that could possible happen rather than watching a 9 month old lick a french fry then jam it into the straps of the high chair she is sitting in!!

our girl probably had the odd chip or nugget from kfc when she was around 8 months.we very raerly eat out. we live out on a farm too far away from take aways anyway. but my dfs mum gave her a peice of choclate to suck on the easter after she was born so she was only a few months old. i nearly hit the roof when i found out.
i basically lived off chicken/kfc when i was preggers(slaps hand, naughty me) and even now tash is 2 she loves chicken and always has done.
