Fast Food Junkie

I am a fast food junkie. I love the taste, the convience, and the fact that I don't have to cook it! I even love McDonald's (which I have found that most people over the age of 12 will not admit!) I would eat fast food all the time except that little voice in my head that tells me how unhealthy it is triumphs every once in a while. This is not something I am proud of. It is just a fact!

The voice is louder now that I am a mother. I don't want my child growing up eating too much fast food. But, I already see it happening. He knows what a drive-thru is! As we approach the window of a fast food place, he starts calling "fwy! fwy!" in hopes of getting some french fries. We went through a Taco Bell yesterday and I had to try to explain that they did not sell "fwies". He did not believe me, and it was a very long ride home!

So, each day I will try to be a better mom, cook my child healthy meals and not go to the drive-thru as much. Then, maybe my son won't be programmed to yell "fwy! fwy!" as we pass the "golden arches"!

I have also found that most people won't admit they like McDonald's. But someone does - they have $20 billion in annual sales.
