Fast Food

Fast FoodAs a little girl I remember that every Sunday my parents, my 2 sisters, and I would go to church, after church we would go to the park, and we would save the best for last! We would go to Mc Donald’s my dad would buy us a 6-piece chicken nuggets happy meal. I felt so happy when we would get in the car right after going to the park because I knew exactly where we were going. At that time my parents wouldn’t take us anywhere else but Mc Donald’s they would say that Mc Donald’s had the best hamburgers ever! My parents wouldn’t want us to eat fast food on weekdays. They thought it was ok once a week, but it would be bad if we ate fast food more than that. My mother and father would think that as long as we went to the park and played, ran around, and had some kind of exercise we would be able to have some Mc Donald’s every weekend. Not knowing the consequences of eating Mc Donald’s every weekend or how much fat and calories I was consuming.

Now I eat in fast food restaurants every two or three weeks. After eating Mc Donald’s every weekend as a young little girl I try to go to different fast food restaurants. My favorite restaurant to go to is The Habit. The hamburgers are juicy and delicious. But for sure I prefer to eat home cooked meals. Especially when my mom makes my favorite Mexican foods, such as tamales, pozole, and a lot of other delicious foods. But I still carry with me my parent’s philosophy; as long as I exercise and stay active I can eat fast food. I think that eating fast food doesn’t affect me as much because I exercise at least two hours every day. A lot of the time when I’m in a rush and haven’t eaten anything pass by a fast food restaurant and grab something to eat. Fast food isn’t something I have to have, but it is a convenient place to go to when I’m in a rush.

  1. I agree with you 100% on a couple of things you said. First of all The Habit does has some super crazy awesome hamburgers! Second, Mexican food is the best food out there especially tamales! Wish my mom or even I knew how to make them. Fast food is something that is okay to eat once in a while but shouldn't be eaten everyday as you said. As long as people work out, it's all good.
