When fast food attacks!

                                                                This could be you! ^

Growing up as a child with traditional Mexican parents I hardly ate fast food. My mom would always fill our my siblings and myself up with food that was good in protein such as beans and rice (after years of eating rice and beans I got so fed up with them that I hardly eat them now), home cooked steak with hardly any oil, homemade tortillas, homemade soups, a really good chicken soup with full of veggies. I was always being babysat by one woman or other through my childhood years so my mom would pack me a lunch every day mostly with beans, rice, and eggs I was a child that was nicely fed and stuffed. But like every other child I was introduced to hot cheetos (by my sister) I honestly vividly remember the first time I hate a hot cheetah I was across the street where I lived in front of Hueneme High School and my sister oddly enough happened to have a small snack size bag of them and gave it to me, they tasted like nothing I had ever eaten before, but they were so so spicy for me since even though my parents and siblings would eat spicy food I never had it made me sweat, even to this day I sweat eating hot cheetos haha (you can laugh).I would eat a bunch of twinkies I don’t know why my mom would buy them for us but it was bad, donuts were occasional as well as ice cream. At the time when I was younger I actually had uncles who lived around the area and would visit my family, on special occasions of some sort or because they felt like it they would take us to Mc’ Donalds (a kids favorite place at the time I think) and since I was rather small they would give me a kids meal, although I can hardly recall but my mother always tells me stories about that time because I would call my uncles a bad word for opening my door haha.  I was addicted to soda though just any kind of soda I had a bad habit of drinking about three to four cans of soda a day, one day I was tired of it and well my parents cut me off too so then just started buying me juice I don’t know if it is considered fast food but it’s in ever fast food joint there is. Treats as a child I have no idea what they were haha, I would eat plenty of candy, through middle school and part of high school I was mostly alone at home so what would kill time for me were to eat snacks here and there weekends seemed to me like freedom days, being able to enjoy sweets and have no one tell me that it was wrong, I had sort of strict parents my dad always wanted us to eat fruit and be healthy so my house always has fruit even though I hardly eat it. As I got a bit older fast food to me was a must around the age eight or nine my brother and sister would work at Mc’ Donalds and they would get us free food, but I started gaining some weight so I cut down.

For the current chapter in my life, fast food is still there, I count on it when my mom does not make food as much as before well because she cannot get  me to eat it mostly since I don’t like to make her work more and cook for me. Or when I am with my boyfriend and I do not feel like whipping something up because honestly I hate washing dishes haha, which happens like two or three times a week. It is so fast and easy that it is inviting and because it might be a bit cheaper. I do try to not overdo it with fast food because of all the bad ingredients that it has within it, I hate how I can eat fast food but I still do it. Fast food should never of expanded so much that it has because so many people are unhealthy because they rely so much of it, yes it creates a number of jobs but affects so many lives, it has its pros but many cons. I feel like if I had more flexibility with fast food as a child I would hardly rely on fast food. It affects me to see so many unhealthy children because they want to just eat fast food children now a days are too slow and unwilling to eat healthy, their parents are to blame for allowing massive amounts of food to go down their childrens throat. As in the picture that i published i hate seeing children so obese at eight years old or so, it needs to stop or else fast food will be the death of our upcoming generations.To end it I need to learn how to properly cook in a healthy manner.
