Fast Food Nation


(Post by Marissa) No, not the book, but reality. So today I was on my way to work today and the person in front of me put his/her blinker on and slowed dramatically. Not far away was a light. I assumed they were turning at the light. No, I did not rearend them. They were not turning at the light, however, but rather into the McDonald's right before the light. I immediately thought to myself, why do people leave early for work only to spend money on something that will probably make them sick. I was not sure how people can put that in their stomach that early in the morning. Then I continued to drive and saw that not only was the McDonald's drive-thru long, but so was Taco Villa's. I am not sure what they can possibly serve in the morning that can be good. Then a new KFC opened up right by our house and I cannot believe how busy it is. I guess I am constantly amazed at how many people eat out for breakfast and lunch and at fast food no less. I guess I am missing something because I have never liked those places. When I was little and we would be traveling and stop at a fast food place, (which we did not do that often..good ole Debra packed lunches of course.) I would not even go in. Anyways, this was just a random thought and I apologize to all of you fast food lovers if I have offended you. But I have a feeling it can't be that good for you, whatever is in those meals. :)

You mentioned McDonald's, Taco Villa, and KFC, so I guess Sonic is still free game!

Whenever I eat fast food, (which is once every three or four months) I always end up sick to my stomach. I'm guessing it's from all the fat/grease and probably some other stuff that I don't even want to know about.
I completely agree with you, though. I also can't figure out how people can drink pop (or soda, for all you who don't use the word "pop",) for breakfast! Gross. -Chels

I think it's the whole instant gratification thing. What makes it so appealing to me as a busy mom is how little effort you have to put in and my kids actually love it. We definatley try to not make it a habit, though. Also...it's expensive!

Confession: I had a roommate in college that LOVED the bacon egg and cheese mcgriddles at Mcdonalds, and I thought she was SO gross... until I had one! Yikes! Isn't that hideous. But don't worry I haven't had one since she left on her mission last year. Even so, thanks for the reminder to keep me away from them!
