Why do children bring western fast food to Chinese and Asian restaurants while parents and other adults eat the Chinese and Asian food?

Not everyone likes different foods from different cultures and the children are probably not yet old enough to appreciate something different.

Whilst Chinese food is high on the menu of many Westerners, often their children ask their parents to bring along their own Western-style food because they are simply more used to it.

Doing that has at least two good results:

* The children will eat something they enjoy and this can help to keep them quiet and happy...

* The children will not leave - and thus will not waste - the Chinese food!
