More Nonsense

As a consumer of fast food I cannot completely pledge my hatred for the fast food sector of the economy but I know that if they all happened to disappear over night I would not even shudder. The first part of my partial hatred comes from a financial point of view. I added up the amount I would spend a week on fast food if I ate there twice a week including only weekdays and the sum came to around $75 and that was rounding down rather generously. I then decided that I would spend the same amount on groceries to see how long it would last me. After using the majority of the groceries including the primary food, such as food I would make a meal out of, it lasted me about two full weeks and I still had some food left over and a good portion of my snack related food left. This meant that I did not have to buy all the same items the next time I went to the grocery store and had more money to spend in my budget on food that I can cook meaning my groceries would last me that much longer. Financially I saved around 50% of what I was spending on fast food. From a nutritional perspective I had to have been eating much healthier. I am not expert on health and nutrition but it does not take an expert to know that the majority of fast food it not beneficial to your body other than the fact that it fills you up and it controls your hunger. The food that I got from the grocery store consisted of fresh produce, meat to cook and additional side dishes such as rice to eat along side the meat and produce. As I said before, I am no expert but I have a feeling that the food I prepare is much healthier. I can also add food preparation to the list of things I have little expertise in but I do know that my pan-fried chicken with a side of rice and vegetables taste better than anything McDonald's has to offer but then again I may just be biased. Personally, I believe that beneficial finances, health and taste all out way convenience and if you can't find the time to cook a couple meals in the day than either you work to much or not enough.
