WE don't do that McDonalds nonsens-" thing. (I'm paraphrasing, of course...) It just wasn't necessary. A simple, "she's never had McDonalds, we try to eat healthy, natural foods." would have sufficed and gotten you a much less remarkable reaction. But, somehow, I think you knew exactly how you were coming across and intended to alienate the weird MickyD's lady. You can educate others without being a snob.

Any chance you could work up a vegetarian version of this that uses tofu, seitan, or something else instead of chicken? I'd love to try it!

If her experience is like mine, yes, she'll be surrounded by poor unfortunates in school but a bit later, everyone will think she's the cool one. Good for you, and your child is quite lucky.

Obviously you're raising your daughter without too much TV too since I'm guessing the McDonald's "high five" was probably from a commercial. Great post and great recipe.
