Someone is bringing me Inn n Out.

As I type this one of my good friends is bringing me some Inn n Out. When I was young my parents hardly allowed me to eat "fast food" my dad made all the food, and everyone enjoyed it. He was so talented he would make Chinese food from scratch or any plate he could think of was always delicious. I remember going to McDonald's with my dad and getting a BIG MAC, I thought that burger was so delicious, and that restaurant was the coolest thing ever. But my dad always made it clear, to me and my siblings that hamburger restaurants were for lazy people. As I got older and had allowance money I would always go to McDonald's, or ask my parents to take me. I really liked going there because my parents were so opposed to it, but since I would buy it with my own money my parents couldn’t do too much about it. I then learned about all the other wonderful places one could go to enjoy some fast food. I would save up all my allowance and go to those places every weekend. I would also drink a lot of soda with my meals, we were never allowed soda at home. I would try to drink coke with every hamburger meal.

I am aware that fast food is bad for you, but that doesn't make it any less good tasting. I wish I could say that I no longer indulge in a good burger, fries and coke, but that would be a lie. I try to eat many healthy meals between my week, I eat a lot of salads and drink plenty of water.  I would in the future eliminate all fast food from my diet but for now I try to eat as healthy as I can, and be conscious of my intestines. We do live in a society where people still think eating a Mcdonalds meal at 5:00 pm is considered having dinner. More money is being spent on fast food then anything else, the meal that I eat today will be delicious, but who is going to prosper from me having a burger, fries and a coke? I watched that movie “SUPERSIZEME” you know, this is real. People raise they’re kids on this stuff. I always wonder, what makes this food taste so appetizing? Why is it so cheap? I once saw a story on the internet about a teacher who kept a cheeseburger for ten or fifteen years and it still looks the same. What does this food do to our body’s? I think fast food is in many peoples lives today, and it will continue.

  2. I like you saw Super Size Me. It was an eye opener. I already knew fast food wasn't the greatest but to learn all kinds of facts from the documentary was life changing.
