Before reading the book Fast Food Nation in class I would eat fast food moderately, due to time consuming tasks and school. I always knew fast food was bad because some people would tell me and I also thought I knew everything there was to know about fast food, but I was wrong. After I read through all of the Fast Food Nation book pages, I could barely believe what I had read. My prespective on fast food had dramatically changed. I really don't eat too much meat and im certainley not vegetarian, but now I know why I was'nt too much into it.
It has always been easy for me get fast food because of the fast service and fair prices. This was also because I was either too busy, lazy, or tired to cook. From now on I have decided to cook my own meals as much as I can. Meat was big part of my family as I grew up, but today I really dont eat too much meat. The thing that I can substitute that is closest to meat would be chicken. Even though I am a little skeptic on chiken as well, I make sure not to get any chicken products from fast food places. It is not hard for me to eat healthy I choose the food that I eat, and I choose to live a life full of health. Food is something we can't live without, but that is why we were given everything edible in the world. We were given fruits, vegetables, and animals as well, but we were also remembered not to abuse of what we have and that is what people have been doing. We are not getting ill by what fast food establishments are giving us, rather than by the way we let things get out of hand. I have decided to eat better and make the better choices, even though I can't completely be vegetarian. Now I am carefull about what foods I eat, and Fast Food Nation has helped me make better decisions.
Thanks for these thoughts, Omar!
