Healthy Tip #6

This week try to eliminate as much fast food from your diet as possible.

Fast food has made life so easy, but what has it done to our health? 

In our society that is ever growing (waist-line) we are caught in an instant gratification society. 
- "I don’t have time to eat good."
- "I don’t have time to cook."

- "We to be here then here and we will grab something quick."

Fast food (both the restaurants you think of and the pre-packaged meals you heat and eat) started out as a novelty that you did once in a while.  Now it is almost every meal.

What is the problem with fast food?

We eat fast food because it is convenient AND it tastes good.  Today food companies use your taste bud to “hook” you on their products.  They use salt, fat/grease, mono sodium glutamate, sugar, corn syrup, condiments like mayonnaise, etc., and other artificial flavors to make their food taste good.  They also have food additives that are designed to get you addicted to their products- this ensures that not only will you keep buying their products and regularly.
