I was reading the below post from Kim Klaver's blog (you know the health guru that I think is amazing) and found the below article startling. I mean yes I know fast food on a regular basis cannot be healthy but look and see how even one fast food meal can affect you. Fortunately I cannot even remember the last time that I ate fast food but millions do everyday and I doubt they realize just how fattening it can be.How fat does fast food make you? by Kim Klaver
Very. Each fast food meal you eat per week makes you - on average - ONE and ONE HALF pounds heavier than someone who eats no fast food...

Reported in USA Today:
"People who eat several fast-food meals a week are significantly heavier than those who don't eat fast food very often, according to a study presented to the annual meeting of the Obesity Society."No surprise. Still, wow.
Highlights of the study:
*The weight of people who consumed three to six fast food meals a week was significantly greater than those who consumed no fast food or ate one to two such meals a week.USA Today, Oct. 23, 2007.
*Every additional fast-food meal during the week was associated with 1+1/2-pound increase in body weight.

It's much cheaper, too, to eat at home.
So there, you win both ways by staying home and eating Mama's cookin'.
In Japan, they state the number of calories on convenient store food packages/bento boxes, so a handful of deep-fried chicken kariage (nuggets) are 1,000 calories. I kid you not.
So it's very easy to believe the statistics you wrote about in your post.
I used to live in a neighborhood that had a KFC, McDonald's, White Castle and a fried fish & chips place all within 3 blocks of my house! On some days, I would do breakfast, lunch and dinner utilizing all 3! Needless to say, I became overweight for the first time in my life.
After smartening up a bit (and being disgusted with myself for allowing myself to get so fat), I smartened up, started cooking more, and joined a gym.
Now, fast food is my sinful little naughty naughty that I have one time a week, and I skip a few weeks now and then mostly. Even then, I'm picky, and will only have maybe a fries and milkshake instead of the entire meal AND the shake! :)
It makes a HUGE difference!
Fast food is the bane of our existence right now as a nation.
All you have to do is look at our kids (and us too) nowadays to see that perpetuating itself daily.
They look almost exactly like the day she bought them.
No mold, no decay. Petrified and preserved.
There are so many chemical preservatives inside of "fast food" that it isn't even a food any more; it is a food like substance.
I never buy anything at a fast food restaurant. I refuse to support them in any way.
Peace. :)
That is really good information. I rarely eat fast food - I dont eat meat so that limits fast food anyway. But I find if I do I dont feel very well. Just another reason no to eat fast food.
I'll have to check out the weight loss for hubby, he's trying so hard but not budging.
Thanks for keeping us informed!
Cheers
Have you noticed a difference in your skin since you started "taking" ev olive oil daily?
