Bacteria Fighting Mom Banned From McDonald’s

Now this is the kind of action we need to take as moms!

A US mom is on a mission - the likes of which I really hope more of us moms would take.

It's reported that Erin (not Brokovich) Carr-Jordan’s crusade began after she allegedly discovered unsanitary conditions in an indoor play area at an Arizona McDonalds. She complained about it to the manager - came back a few days later and found NOTHING had changed.

According to Erin, “Many of these play places are in disgusting condition. I’ve seen rotting food, hair, stuff stuck to the wall, second-story windows broken.”

On her Kids Play Safe site, Erin says she visited various fast food restaurants across the US and found pathogens that can cause a host of serious health issues, including meningitis, sepsis, hair, scalp and skin infections, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, gastrointestinal disease, food borne illness and more.

I found this story alarming but not surprising. Before and during my college years I waitressed in various restaurants and know how some of these places can be revolting.

According to media reports the mom has been banned from eight McDonald's but that hasn't stopped her.

She's travelling across the US amassing support as she goes.

If you’d like to support her plight you can sign her petition at http://kidsplaysafe.net/

The site includes video showing the filth she found.

If moms across the world stand together on issues like this we really can champion fantastic change for our kids.
