Fast Food Nation.....

Small rant here.....
So as my awesome husband and I were traveling over the past week I found out how hard it was to find HEALTHY options to eat. I am disgusted with all the fast food and processed options there are compared to something fresh and good for you. Do you know how hard it is to head on down the road and find something to eat that hasn't been pre-cooked, blasted with chemicals, frozen...cooked again (in a fryer most likely) and set aside in a heating drawer for who knows how long just waiting for the next sucker to come along. It's honestly eye opening to travel a freeway and see all the flashing signs that line the exits for miles and miles and miles trying to lure us into their greasy joints. What does that say for us that we have endless options of this crap and VERY limited options for good wholesome food?
I'm upset that our kids are growing up with all this processed crap being served to them on a silver platter...I mean have you seen how they make "chicken" nuggets? If there is more than an ounce of actual chicken meat in there I would be surprised. Nico asks me every day why I won't take him to McDonalds to eat...I tell him because it's not good for you to eat there every day...or once a week or pretty much EVER! Then he asks me is there any good for you places that have a play place in them and I couldn't think of one...what does that say about us? These places should be outlawed...they market to our children and teach them all the wrong things about healthy living. They put flammable chemicals into their so called food and give us the healthy option of sliced apples with our pink slime burger...sure your eating flammable chemicals and pink slime on a processed bread bun but hey! at least you are having their pre-sliced (cause they can't be bothered to slice you a fresh one), pre-packaged healthy option on the side with your gigantic (now called medium) Coke. COME ON!
While we were in Texas I was able to eat fairly healthy. We had continental breakfast every morning and even there you have to be careful what you choose. I mostly went with the fresh fruit option...tried the scrambled eggs but being able to taste that they were made from powder wasn't that appetizing. What would a vacation be without a little bit of splurging though? We got some Texas BBQ for dinner one night and the creamed corn was AWESOME, I mean creamed corn sounds gross even I was skeptical but the guy insisted we try it and I was glad we gave in. Theeeeennnnn we went to Cheese Cake Factory for dessert....not my greatest moment in self control...that was a lot of sugar, but I only had that and a small ice cream at the ball game alright?! 

Okay my kids are in melt down mode, it is 10 in the morning....oh and one is possibly stinky so I must be going now..rant over.
