Fast Food; Blog #2

               
              My history with fast food was more of a treat. Growing up my mom make dinner every night, so only on special occasions I was aloud to have fast food. My mom used to tell me it was bad for me, and would rather me eat what she made or was in the house. My favorite was either McDonalds, or Taco bell. When I would get fast food, I remember getting excited, knowing that I would usually get a toy as well as my meal. When going to Taco bell I would order a burrito, or a taco. My favorite from McDonalds was the chicken nugget happy meal.

               

              During high school, I admit I was a little more dependent on fast food due to the fact that is was cheap and filling. Especially in between classes and it was down the street from my school. I spent my lunch money on either Jack n The Box, McDonalds or Taco Bell at least three times a week. It’s so easy just to spend money on food that’s already made when you’re hungry. I honestly don’t know how many tacos I’ve eaten from Jack n The Box since they’re 2 for 99 cents. My favorite now from McDonalds is the Mc Chicken with barbeque sauce. Taco bell is right down the street from my house and my roommate always brings me my favorite a chicken chapula. I know its bad, but it’s what I could afford and what I started to crave. The Carl’s Jr. Western cheese burger has became my new favorite, but I know I need to cut down on my fast food intake. Even now I attend to depend more and more on fast food, because it’s cheap, and the cost of living is so expensive. But after starting to read Fast Food Nation, the idea of fast food is starting to gross me out. I’m going to try and change my diet and limit myself on how much fast food I eat. I know it’s important to remain a healthy diet but it’s so hard because most things that are healthy are expensive.
