WEST JORDAN — Jimmy Rogers may only be eight years old, but he’s sure that McDonald’s is the only restaurant he wants to eat at for the rest of his life.

“We are a McDonald’s family,” explained Dallin Rogers, Jimmy’s father. “It’s our children’s first word. We have a picture of Ronald McDonald in every room of the house. Our family catchphrase is, ‘I’m lovin’ it.'”

While the Rogers family is an extremely devout bunch, Rogers says that no child, including Jimmy, is forced into choosing McDonald’s.

“We let them choose for themselves, starting at age eight because that’s when a child’s taste buds really come into their own,” explained Rogers.

Jimmy has never eaten at any other restaurant, but Mr. Rogers insists that’s not a problem.

“We don’t want to be intolerant of other restaurants. They all have some good items on the menu, but only McDonald’s has every good thing on the menu,” said Rogers.

“Why bother exposing Jimmy to other restaurants when we know McDonald’s is the best?”

“We’re just so proud of Jimmy for this decision he’s made,” said Jimmy’s mother Hellen, who has been in mourning after her oldest son, Kyle, defected from the McDonald’s lifestyle and started eating at Taco Bell.

“At least Kyle still goes to a restaurant,” said Mrs. Rogers. “We have hope that one day he’ll see the error of his ways and come back to us.”

(Until that time, Kyle is unwelcome at family dinners, which of course are all catered by McDonald’s.)

To signify his dedication to McDonald’s, young Jimmy will take part in a symbolic ceremony in which he will pour a gallon of Big Mac sauce on his head.

“It’s a pretty big deal,” said Mr. Rogers. “We even have family flying in to town so they can be here to support him.”
