Fast Food? Phooey!

Spane went to the doctor today for a follow-up appointment. His regular doctor, Dr. Steinberg, saint that she is, is in South American volunteering, so we saw one of the on staff doctors. She said that Spane was old enough to have a mild Advil for his headaches, and that we just had to wait for the pediatric neurologist at Children's Hospital to contact us about the Dandy Walker Syndrome. I also asked her about his stomach pain that he has been dealing with since April, and she said the Dandy Walker might be doing it, but, and she looked straight into Spane's eyes:
Doctor
No more pizza, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, things like that
Spane (looking really askance)
I don't eat that kind of food. I don't like that kind of food.
Me
Spane's not really into fast food or junk food. We eat yogurt with fruit and honey for breakfast, a lot of fresh vegetables. I'm a gourmet cook, fast food doesn't exist in my house.
Doctor
That's good!
Me
Go over to the local Armenian store, to the preserves section and try the Young Walnut Preserves. You'll love them!
Doctor
I'll do that, I love walnuts!
And with that, we went to the pharmacy, got his medicine, and now we're going to have scrambled eggs for breakfast. Maybe we'll have a little toast with Young Walnut Preserves!
