Just watching Jamie Oliver's "Ministry of Food" just kind of brought home something I really don't think about much. But, and not trying to brag or anything, because, like I said, I don't think about it much, I've possibly eaten at a fast food outlet perhaps three times in the last twenty years.
I think I told you a couple of months ago that I got some insane craving for a Big Mac -- a very unusual occurrence for me -- but when we went to McDonald's and I bit into it I almost puked.
I don't want to sound self-righteous at all. But I know that my 7-year-old son, if he's ever in my care, will never, ever see the backside of a fast food outlet. He won't drink Coke on my watch, even though, hypocrite that I am, I drink it at least once a week. He will never know the horror of a fast-food burger or, indeed , fast-food anything on my watch. If he wants a burger I'll make it for him, ground from scratch, which is the only way I eat my burgers nowadays.
I know this is not possible for 98% of the world, but the inexpensiveness of junk food just contributes to the pandemic of eating it for so many families.
Yaaaaaaay!
ReplyDeleteA-yep! I frankly don't think I will ever eat another fast-food burger again in my entire life. So many possibilities for food, so little time. Why waste an entire meal on that crap when for just a little effort -- and for me it's not an effort, but joy -- you can make it for yourself?
ReplyDeleteYayyyyy!
Go, good food! : )
ReplyDeleteFast food is not inexpensive. They usually rob you on drinks. But you are correct. For the price of a McCrap, you can get a perfectly healthy meal elsewhere. You just have to have the inside track, I suppose.
