Fat Food Fast!
It's lunchtime and you're once again contemplating what to eat. On one hand you have the healthy, yet expensive option. On the other you have the cheapo grease-fix you've been craving since yesterday. Like anyother self-satisfying individual you choose the latter, however, today there is a twist, its the 7th consecutive day that you have chosen this option. You stop and think, is this last cheeseburger going to satisfy my hunger or is it going to do something more than that... Something to my health perhaps?
Well my friends this is the dillemma I have been facing over this summer break. Uni hasnt been over a week & already I have hit cholesterol city! I feel gluggy, lethargic & greasy as hell - and lets just say, well, that I'm in great need of some Metamucil!
I work 5 days a week, out the other 2, and I can hardly remember the last time I ate lunch at home. I always seem to be galavanting about when my poor lil tummy screams out 'Rob, feed me - NOW!'. I am a uni student. I cannot afford to fork out $9.00 for a stinkin salad & a bottle of water everyday. So, the most roughage I seem to get lately is the generous slice of lettuce on my big-mac. All this hype of late, about MacDonalds and the like, seems to bring something quite eerie to my attention - perhaps the fact that I'm feeling like crap is due to the food I'm dumping into my temple.
It's never occurred to me before. Yeah fine, we have always known that Macca's aint good for ya, but has anyone really admitted that the state their health is in is due to fast food? Well my friends, it's time I step up to the plate and admit, that fast food is slowly killing me. I have become a slave to the cheap convenience of eating what I'm used to. Only now, 20 years later is my consumption of this delicacy taking it's toll on my life. I think that maybe, it's time to start valuing my health over my pocket & to start eating thoughtfully - that is, fast foods in moderation & trying my best to satisfy that thing we used to know as the food pyramid - what the hell ever happened to that?
I used to think about that whole 'health' thing, but when you get caught up in the myriad of events you call your 'life', you start to lose yourself a lil & lose track of what you're actually doing to yourself. People I urge you, look not at what it costs you to satisfy your hunger today, look at what it could cost you in the future.
I could become all American right now & try and sue all the big ass fast food companies, but the fact of the matter is, its my own fault & no one else can stop me from eating stuff thats gonna make me feel like shit.
Thats all.
