What whiny rebuttal? What you see is what happened. But don't be too fast to judge. She's conscious of the problem, at least. So don't expect a rebuttal, really. I think you are correct.

Interesting.This woman is a bit of an ignoramous and no female American I know has any of her values.

Adults like this one have no self discipline these days. This woman knows the solution, but she speaks of convenience. She would rather her son develop bad eating habits than change. She smokes in the house. She has no right to complain. Her guilt is self inflicted. She also says "shit" in front of her kid and complains about his behavior while he is listening. Great mom. She'll end up being another porky pig. Looking forward to the whiny rebuttal on this, which will no doubt be sent.

Beautiful portrait of american or western consumption of fastfood. Great how the film in a sympathetic way portrays the mother's reflections about the pros and cons with fastfood.
