I was in a Supermarket a few years ago. I noted a a couple with two children carefully looking over food ingredients, while choosing food for their pet dog. They took much time discussing the ingredients, and whether they were healthy enough for their pet pooch. Just before they departed, dog food in hand, one child asked, "Mom, can we go to McDonalds for lunch". "Yes", the Mother replied.

Could this be an example of mixed priorities?
