Fast Food

Fast Food

As a child I have always been surrounded by fast food. Growing up I had two aunts who worked at Burger King and they would always tell me “clean my room and I’ll bring you chicken tenders”, back then they were so good and I could not say no.  Some stories I’ve heard is my grandma would take me to McDonalds and at the age of four I was already asking for a Big Mac, and what did my grandma get me, a Big Mac. Both my parents and grandparents cooked everyday and it was always really good, but for some reason we also were accustomed to eating out every weekend. From time to time we would go to restaurants but the fact that McDonalds, Carl’s Jr., and Jack In The Box was just so much faster and cheaper  we decided to go there instead. Sometimes my mom would even tell us “if you guys go to sleep early today I’ll buy you guys McDonalds tomorrow before school”, we would all get so excited.

            Now that I’m older I hate Burger King and now the only thing I like from McDonalds is their fries. My experience with McDonalds will probably have all of you gagging. About a year ago me and my cousin decided to get a bite at McDonalds when I ordered some chicken nuggets, it was probably the 5^th chicken nugget I bit into and that’s when I  lost all  interest in any of their food. I had always heard that chicken nuggets were made from the leftover meat that shouldn’t be eaten but I never thought it would taste and feel like that. The feeling I got when I bit into it was like biting into a Gusher and all the jelly coming out, but this was not a gusher it was the chicken nuggets I thought nothing about and ate on a regular basis. Now that I had my bad experience with fast food I find myself more at home and eating more home cooked meals than anything.  I seen that overtime fast food played a big part in my life, and it wasn’t for the better. I am constantly unhappy with the way I look and a lot of it is from eating unhealthy food and not having any energy to exercise after. Although I’m a little more active than I was before I still catch myself eating many things I know I shouldn’t, I know eating fast food isn’t good for you but I’m not going to lie if someone tells me to join them for a cheeseburger and animal style fries from IN-N-OUT the only question I’ll be asking is “what time?”  Now I feel fast food restaurants should have never been put on this earth and maybe so many people won’t be so unhappy with themselves but at the end of the day we choose what goes inside our body and for those who have eaten fast food all their lives probably don’t really know what good food taste like because the only good food is the food that is made at home.
