Do you eat fast food? I haven't had fast food in well over 10 years and I am proud to say the only fast food my children have had is made at home. I make turkey burgers and homemade fries.

Gasp...they have never stepped foot in side McDonalds. I honestly think that if any of us ate it, we would get really sick. Just plain gross.

Wow I'm impressed!

We do eat fast food mostly Sonic and Subway. Although when I started dieting a few months back the only thing I eat is a Turkey Sub with no cheese/no mayo and just the grilled chicken from Sonic, no bun.

My DH loves fast food though. We definatly need to all start eating healthier around here.

I started questioning fast food when I waited in a crowded waiting room in the gastroenterology lab room with a crowd of people all under the age of 50. My parents, in their 70s and 80s at the time, were gastrologically fine. My younger Aunt had colon cancer. My sister had diverticulitis. Me, I was so sick they didn't even have a NAME for my digestive problem, yet!

I began to question the differences and decided that older people did not grow up on the junk we ate. My parents and most of the elderly I knew ate mostly fresh food they prepared themselves. Me and my generation grew up on McDs....

I gave up McDs because it began to make me violently ill. I couldn't digest their food at all. I also stopped my son from eating it, much to his chagrin.

Movies like Supersize Me can only make people think, then act. I don't know if the lab room was filled by fast food junkies, but it was enough to keep ME and my family out of their restaurants.

Good for you Robin. I can only imagine you feel better. ANd such a valid point about the elders, they certainly did not grow up with fries and mystery meat. eww

Its such a shame, we can walk from my house to a McDonalds, a Burger King and a Wendys. But to get fresh produce, I must get in the car and drive 25 minutes

We rarely to never go to McDonalds. The only time we would go to McDonalds would be if we were on a long road trip -- sometimes McDonalds and their play yards are the best thing for a break after a long car ride w/little ones. DH never eats junk food of any kind, I'm addicted to sweets but not at all into fast food/greasy food/fried food, and our kids really only like McDonalds for the Happy Meal toys.

I only eat Subway and Chick-Fil-A.

McDonalds is gross

 

[katerkat]

We only eat fast food when we travel, as there aren't many options otherwise.

I dont trust healthy eaters

Eh...I'll darken their doorways on occasion. No visible or measurable adverse effects, so far. Everything in moderation!

 

[JerseyJanice]

I'm of the mind that any food can be enjoyed in moderation.

McDonald's new salads are decent, and their fries are my favorite.

I'd say we go there once a month, if that.

My favorite fast food now is Panera Bread. I'm crazy for their French onion soup and Greek salad (I get the half-and-half lunch deal). I just wish it was in all the malls, like MickeyD's.
