Healthy Eating v/s Fast Food
Every morning I wake up at 6:30am I get dressed and walk out the house to go to work. On my way to work I stop to get something quick for breakfast. At 12:15pm I go out for lunch and then at 5:00pm I stop by McDonald's to grab something fast on my way to school. This routine describes society on a daily basis. I have found that eating fast foods has no planning or preparation. This way of eating only has a high potential of health risks, and unwanted weight gain. Most people do not care about eating healthy or take the time to understand the important risk factors of unhealthy eating and its long term effects. On the other hand, there is a large group of people who try to eat healthy. These people do not have the knowledge or the finances to support the healthy foods required for a more healthier diet. Although, healthy eating has proven to be the more expensive than fast food eating somehow people in general has to learn to take the time to add healthy dietary ways. I have discovered that eating healthy can actually be affordable even in today's times. You can remain healthy, and on a budget by cost effective methods such as home preparation versus fast foods daily. By preparing meals nightly and taking the time to pack them for meals on the go. This method will potentially save time, money, and of course reduce the pounds on the scale.

Is true healthy food is affordable, in fact it could be less expensive than daily fast food meal. On the other hand fast food locations have started to give the consumer the option to eat healthy providing them with the meal options of chicken burgers and even salads. I believe there is no excuse not to eat healthy: it doesn't take more than going to the drive thru and waiting for your food, to prepare a healthy meal which would end up being more cost efficient. The only reason why I think people don't eat healthy is pure laziness , which could eventually destroy your body.
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how many of my friends breath fast food. And even though they offer healthy meals, that is definitely not what they buy. I would say the number one place they go is Mcdonalds because it's fast and affordable. However it adds up. My mom did not feed me a lot of junk food when I was little so I think that plays a major role as to why I don't eat it that often. But of course I do enjoy myself some Chick-fil-a every so often! Now that I have gotten older it is necessary for me to watch what I eat. I do believe there are ways to eat healthy and spend less. I am on that tract right now and it has gone pretty well.
