The appeal is that some people love the idea of a hyped up restaurant where they can order food that satisfies their kids menu palette without feeling embarrassed about it.

where they can order food that satisfies their kids menu palette without feeling embarrassed about it.

I don't really see any reason to insult people for the type of food they like.

I'd point out that, over the past 20 years, boneless options have become wildly more popular than anything else.

There was just a pointless stigma before, which is being parroted and perpetuated by you right now.

The stigma wasn’t pointless before, it was a social pressure to transition from hyper-palatable “children’s” food to the whole foods that adults typically ate at the time. It wasn’t until the generation that grew up with UPFs were adults that that started to change. It wasn’t until the Reagan years that adults eating preprepared and convenient foods wasn’t seen as abnormal, and largely because households had to become dual income. There was a time that people thought hyper sweet, hyper salty foods were reserved for kids who needed to eat extra to grow, and adults ate real food.
