Food is a natural thing that humans need in order to live but many Americans treat food like its a thing they need to abuse everyday which leads to obesity in tons of Americans today. A lot of fast food places like McDonald's, Wendy's and etc sell a lot of unhealthy food to people. But what makes people crave that food is the taste and not only that but also the advertisements on t.v that say; like Wendy's for example claims that they beef is never frozen and its fresh, rather than McDonald's which Wendy's claims is frozen and never fresh. And that's what makes people eat at a certain place based on taste and also what they see/hear on t.v or on newspapers.
For instance yeah i do eat fast foods once in a blue moon but not every single day like most Americans do because they find it faster to get. Like a grab and go food just in-case the person is in a rush. But typically i eat healthy like in the mornings my typical food would be 2 hard boiled eggs with whole wheat toast and a protein shake. Other Americans may go to McDonald's and pick up breakfast from there but if they compared the McDonald's calorie intake and money spent on breakfast at McDonald's or any other place they would see that they would possibly eat healthier at home and save at least 100 dollars a week. But since fast food taste better a lot more people rather eat there than to save their money and eat healthier at home.
When shopping time comes around which is once a month i do shopping i usually make a shopping list consisting of around 5 things like Soy milk, eggs, fat free milk, granola bars and of course water. I do my shopping whenever i need stuff or my mom will buy me my stuff when she does her regular food shopping. But to tell you the truth she buys so much junk food that the shopping cart is fulled with these foods that i never even touch and she's a diabetic and she eats junk still and so does my younger brother. Come dinner time i usually fix myself up a sandwich with a cup of soy milk(or water) and a granola bar on the side. My mom usually makes chicken with rice and beans i refuse to eat that though. Most and foremost I'm dependent when it comes to my eating habits and what i choose to eat on that particular day
Richie,
ReplyDeletePretty hard that your mom eats unhealthy food as a diabetic. What makes you refuse rice and beans and chicken?
because i tend to eat healthier like drink protein shakes and eat like tuna on toasted whole wheat bread. I try not to eat that much greasy food, but don't get me wrong i do eat rice beans and chicken once in a blue. It's just not an everyday thing.
