I know fast food is bad. It's not just bad because of the fat, salt, sugar and many other ingredients I can't pronounce, but because the beef or chicken comes from questionable sources. One burger can have beef from many different cows, and these cows are kept in deplorable conditions which is why they need to be injected with mega doses of antibiotics to keep them healthy. Chickens fare no better. I won't even go into what they do them. Despite knowing this information there are still times when I succumb to the rat race and feed my family fast food. Probably not as often as most families, but we still eat it. Why? Lack of proper planning and grocery shopping. We need to be responsible food consumers. Know where your meat market or grocery store gets their beef, chicken, milk, and eggs. Are they coming from commercial feed lots where the animals are being pumped full of antibiotics and steroids? Are the chickens in cages so tiny they can't move and forced to lay eggs unnaturally? Real food, naturally and locally raised, and eaten as close to God made it. That's what we should all be doing. It's better for our bodies, the environment, and our local economy. Stay tuned for recipes and ideas of how to make this happen.
