ReplyDeleteThat's right Anthony, can't remember when I last ate fast food. I quit years ago and I haven't looked back, don't even miss it.
DeleteAnd the prices going up too more reasons to not eat it. Everytime I eat it it just gives me a headache and just dont feel good for the rest of the evening.

DeleteYes I believe once you instill anything in your child from a young age he or she will grow practicing such things, healthy eating is no exception.
ReplyDeleteSo true! I'm around children on a regular basis so I try to influence their eating habits a bit, by setting an example, and you what it's really working. At least for most of them.
