My Thoughts on Fast Food Nation

My Thoughts on Fast Food Nation

     Reading Fast Food Nation was interesting and informative. I go about my day every day without a thought as to how my food processed and prepared. As I began reading this book, I didn’t think this book would change my thoughts about the fast food industry. The further I got into this book the more I felt like I was changing my eating habits. I’ve begun telling my daughter and mom that they need to change their habits a little. I’ve told them NO MORE HAMBURGER!!!!

One change I’ve made so far: I gave away the hamburger that was in our freezer. I warned my mom’s friends as to why I was throwing it out so if she still wanted the packaged hamburger then she could have it. I’m staying away from fast food as much as I can but I still get an itch to have something from there. I do though at least have something with chicken or fish when I do stop by a fast food place.

Fast Food Nation has made me strongly think about going vegetarian yet, I really love chicken and seafood. If I don’t go completely vegetarian, I will at least still have the chicken or fish. It’s ok though because I don’t really eat red meat that often as it is. I will cut down on chicken and fish as I find out more about ways to eat healthy without eating meat. We will see how I do as the holidays approach because as you know, the holidays are all about good food.
