Fast Food Nation will it affect my life or not?
Reading Fast Food Nation has brought many thoughts to mind. The most important thought is, Will I continue eating fast food at the rate that I do at the present moment? The answer to that question is “NO”. Now that I am aware of the sanitary conditions and the mistreatment of animals, I will definitely try my best not to consume fast food as much. For example, I went to a local hamburger restaurant the day before last and felt ill right after I ate the burger remembering what I had learned from Fast Food Nation. It will take a lot of will power to keep me away from French fries. I love them with a passion but I do not like the ingredients in them. So I will be making wiser choices for myself as well as my family. My kids say, “Mom, just take us to McDonald’s” and in return I say, “Let’s try something a little bit healthier.” Of course it is always a battle but 8 times out of 10, they end up eating healthier food. Having read Fast Food Nation has opened up my eyes about “meat” in general. I will no longer see fast food the same.
Yes, having read this book sort of made us different people. It will surely be an uphill battle to change our eating habits, even harder for our families. As the saying goes, "Rome was not built in one day." We will do our best to make the difference.
ReplyDeleteI also feel a nasty feeling in my stomach after eating fast food!
