Fast Food
Coming from a mexican background I never had to rely on fast food. My family eats home made food for the most part until the day and usually if we eat fast food it's just a treat or if we are on the road .When I was a child my mother was a stay at home mom and she gave us her full attention everyday by taking care of us making sure we ate healthy food. Not saying she gave us the healthiest of food but at least it was cooked at home rather then fast food.If for some reason my mother did not feel like cooking on a certain day then we would go out and eat, but even doing so we would stay away from fast food restauraunts like McDonald's . Instead, we would visit mexican restaurants or any other restauraunt where it was not fast food. As a child I have always been athletic and never had a problem with gaining weight and I might just owe this to staying away from fast food. For that reason I am proud of my parents for leading me the right way and making sure that I was eating healthier then other people .
Now that I am all grown up it is my responsibility to stay on top of my health and I have followed the steps that my parents led me through. However, I do visit fast food restauraunts occasionally like ; McDonald's, Taco Bell, Carl's Jr. etc. , but this is only like twice a week which is very little compared to others. I just rather eat my mother's home made food which is much more appetizing . The only time I do eat fast food is when I cannot get a hold of some home made food or because I'm in a hurry and the famous "Drive thru" comes to mind. When ever I feel like eating fast food that is a whole nother story. I will go to a Mc'Donalds drive thru and order everything that I was craving. For example, I will have two 10 piece chicken nuggets , big mac, large frie, large soda, and a hot fudge sundae. I know that seems like a lot but that is what I have when im in the mood of eating fast food. I've been this way since I was younger and learned that having it once in a while does not affect me in anyway . Out of all fast food places I do not have a favorite one I just visit the one that is nearest to me or whatever I am craving that day. When at the Taco Bell drive thru I usually order 3 tacos supreme,a 5 layer burrito, 1 chicken chalupa, and cant forget the large coke. That is a bigger problem for me, it has always been hard for me to stay away from soda but I will not get off topic . If I am at Carl's Jr. then I usually just go light here with a ceasar's salad or I can get a number 1 ,which is a super star if I am not mistaken along with some chilli cheese fries. The only way fast food plays a part in my current life is if I am on the road or If I want to eat it. Thankfully, I have a mother that cooks for me every day or I can cook myself also. I do not live on my own where it would be harder to stay away from fast food I believe.

This is funny because my best friend always tells me the same exact story. He always says no id rather save money, or my mom could make that way better. The real mexican households are so lucky to have a mother who can cook so well.
ReplyDeleteMy mother also stayed home and took care of us. I was not as fortunate to get home cooked meals though. She always took us out to McDonald's. Keep up the good eating habits and try and do the same with soda's. I cut out soda's and replaced them with Tea a while ago. It was very hard so I understand where you are coming from.
ReplyDeletenothing beats mamas home made cooking.
ReplyDeleteMy mother always cooked meals at home when I was growing up. Good eating habits start at a young age.
ReplyDeleteHome made cooking is so much better than fast food. I just eat fast food when my mom or mother in law don't cook, which is rare.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is not usually home for dinner in time so I'm always left with Jack in the Box or Wendy's.
ReplyDeletewhen you named the large fries at mcdonald's, it reminds me of the old times when Mcdonald's had a bucket of fries it was so unhealthy but that's what i usually ordered.
ReplyDeletemy mom also made cooking and i loved
ReplyDeletebut fast food appear as we get here.
your lucky to still living with your mom
My mom has always cooked meals too. Even though I'm Filipino, her Mexican cooking is way better than her Filipino cooking.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has always cooked at home as well. She cooks all kinds of different foods because we're multicultural. Home cooked meals come in handy.
ReplyDeleteMy mom is always cooking for us too except Sunday mornings. There's nothing better than to have homemade meals. I think I'm always going to come to my mom to eat her delicious food once I move out.
