New Perspective, Better Habits

When we first began this book, I was an avid believer in fast food. Having lived on my own for a year and living on a very limited budget, fast food dominated my diet. However, this book along with moving in with a family rather than a bunch of teenagers has changed my habits. I no longer consume the volume of fast food that I once did, and that has been due, in part, to this book. I have never put much thought into where or how my food was produced, but now I can’t ignore it. Part of me believes that this book highlights the most extreme cases of any bad fast food situation, so it’s hard for me to take all of the information to heart. That being said, I can’t bring myself to just ignore all the facts that Schlosser throws at me.

I’m on no track to adopting any kind of vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, but I now take much more care in how well I cook my own food. I make sure everything is cooked past any dangerous level, and I try to maintain generally good eating habits. I eat fast food maybe once or twice a month, and I feel so much healthier and full of energy. My wallet thanks me too J
