Before reading Fast Food Nation I ate fast food three to four times a week. When I began reading the book I stopped eating fast food as often I would usually think twice before stopping at McDonald’s and ordering a big Mac on my way home from work. When I got to the slaughterhouses chapter I just stopped eating fast food, because I was disgusted I couldn’t believe that there were no regulations and how dirty these places were. When I got to the chapter that describes e-coli, Salmonella, and other deadly bacteria’s that are found in ground beef and chicken, I became afraid of fast food; the simple thought that my food may be contaminated with e-coli of other bacteria’s scares me and disgusts me.I haven’t had ground beef or chicken in a while, this is rare to me because I am used to chicken sandwiches and burgers.
I am glad I had the opportunity to read this book and learned that fast food not only make my pants not fit, but also can lead to severe diseases.
I don’t think I will be eating at fast food restaurants anymore, I am sticking to a healthier diet, I am actually trying out some of the recipes from my “Everyday” magazine that I get monthly and have never ever tried because I was too lazy to cook or I should say try to cook.
Yaaaaa Ana! cooking for yourself is sooo the way to go! especially when you do it with company and a bottle of wine.. woot!
ReplyDeleteWow I'm impressed this book actually changed your dietary intake. I wish I had that much will power.
ReplyDeleteFast food is alluring, but there's nothing like a home-cooked meal! I think cooking can also bring out a person's creative side too!
ReplyDeleteYes! I think this book has opened our eyes and think twice before eating at a fast food.
