Fast Food

Fast food wasn’t a big part of my childhood, my parents believed in homemade meals over fast food. When we were out sometimes, my mom would buy my brother and me a happy meal from McDonalds and that was the most fast food we got when we were little. Fast food was more of a treat then a regular thing, I remember once when I got a Student of the Month award my mom bought me a happy meal from McDonalds.
My fast food habits now have changed, I seem to eat fast food more than I did when I was younger. I still prefer homemade meals but I just like to change it up once in a while. Now I eat more Carl’s Jr. I don’t like McDonalds anymore because I realized how unhealthy it was. I don’t rely on fast food to survive, my mom is an excellent cook and I love everything she makes but I just get tired of staying home and eating, I like to go out and eat sometimes.

  1. Ah yes! Those student of the month awards! Wonder what message is sent with the award of fast food?

  2. Where I grew up we didn't have student of the month awards. Do they still award fast food? With all the publicity I wonder if they changed it. I've found several mom and pop shops that are almost as fast as fast food but taste a lot better. It may be a good alternative for changing things up.

  4. I remember when I used to always get those student of the month awards, a coupon for Hometown Buffet would come along with it.
