In today’s fast-paced society, many people do not have the time (or do not take the time) to prepare well-balanced meals for themselves. In reality, it generally takes no longer to run into a grocery store to buy a piece of fruit for lunch than it does to go to a burger place; however, many people still opt for the convenience of a drive-thru restaurant.
Unfortunately, “fast food” is not only hard on the wallet, it can be hard on the body, too. When eating at fast food restaurants, try choosing foods with good nutritional value. For example, order a baked potato instead of fries. Or choose a salad topped with chicken instead of ordering a cheeseburger.
