Food!

During my childhood my family and I hardly went out and ate fast food. It was not in our nature, we were raised by eating homemade food. My mother almost always never took us to eat fast food because she thought it was not healthy which clearly we all know that today. It says it right away also “fast food”, as you can tell there is no word saying that this is nutritious. During my childhood I relied on the homemade food my mom always made. She would make beans with rice and some veggies on the side most of the time. To her that was a complete nutritious plate of food. For me and my siblings it would be the same old boring food to us. It was boring but it was very nutritious because we would stay fit and we were very strong and healthy growing up. Like I said fast food was not a regular thing for our family but it was a nice treat when we did get some. I remember mostly going to Carl’s Jr, or to a burrito place when we would get fast food. Those were the best appealing to us at the time. I remember getting form Carl’s Jr the star shaped nuggets and getting a nice big hamburger with a small drink. Although I always wanted the meal that came with a toy but the thought of getting fast food was already a pleasure. At the time I felt so amazed and went crazy when it came to fast food because we would have a different taste other than beans and rice all the time.

               Today I am eighteen years old and still the same as how my mother raised me. I don’t rely on fast food at all. I rather make myself some homemade food or eat some of my mom’s food that she makes. I do eat a little more fast food than when I was smaller though. I usually get some when I’m far from home or after school if I get really hungry. Today fast food is ok because to me it’s not something that I have to have. I occasionally eat it and when I do it’s mostly with friends or when I go out with my girlfriend and want something quick to eat. Of course though when it is with her I usually take her to a nice restaurant to eat and enjoy ourselves. Fast food is pretty much everywhere. The name speaks for itself as well, it is made fast. Fast food in my case does not hold me down nor am I dependent on it in order to go on to the next day. It is just there for when I am in need of food and I am not home or close by it. Fast food will continue to be in life unfortunately but it will be tracked by me because I do not want to overdo it with fast food.
