Quit Mc Donald's

Good day world, how's your weekend? Great? If the answer is yes, then I'm happy for you :-). If not , well don't you worry then, it's gonna get much better soon. Because today we are going to talk about one of the most fundamental institutions in our life and that will be food.

So, being a child my father used to constantly ask me the question, “Do you eat to live, or you live to eat?” crazy, right? As you might have got from other posts, it's really not that surprising coming from my Dad. He's quite an “intriguing fellow”. He always asked me this question because in childhood, although I wasn't overweight (actually they used to call me “shorty” in school, because I was short and skinny), I was an over eater that's for sure. All this brings me to the fact that eating and living to eat was my motto until I encountered the real food factory in the eyes of McDonald's:

It was at the age of 5 that I remember being in my first McDonald's and God knows I still remember the taste of that milkshake I was given there. I mean I don't know what they do with this food (well actually now I know, but about that a bit later), but goddamn it's a delicious thing to eat. I mean just take a look at this burger. Isn't it a beauty?

No, right? I mean sub consciously, everyone understands that this is trash, junk, you name it. But I'm still shocked (just like with Coca – Cola) why the consumption of such food is becoming a norm that everyone seems to accept. I mean isn't there enough social advertisement going on telling people about the risks of this diet? No? Well if not then get this:

If you are as convinced by this as I am, please feel free to share it with your friends, get involved in debates, argue, but please don't forget that a change in this eating habit starts now and with you. Personally I thought that I will never give up on this, especially when a Mc Donald's opened not so long ago in my city Tver (before that we all used to go to Moscow for this s**t, and now, good news it's just 5 minutes from home :-( ). Yeah, I thought “what a great idea, I'll be able to have a “Big Tasty”, whenever I want”. Now I'm in utter shock when I think of the fact that they are going to open 2 or 3 more in a city of just over 500,000 people. That's insane, right? I mean do they want everyone to take up a diet that leads to all sort of diseases and other not very healthy things?

Negative consequnces of fast food

So if you guys just like me, think that “enough is enough”, please do inform everyone you can. And if you don't, feel free to join the discussion started by this post. Will be glad to inform you about more things connected to healthy food, food production in general and much more. So be healthy, eat well and of course “Eat to live” not the opposite.
