Fast Food Detox?
I try to eat healthy for the most part. There are times that I break over and eat junk food, but I also eat a lot of veggies and lean meats. Where I really struggle is eating out. My family eats out entirely too much. I feel like the local fast food joints know us by name or at least by what we order. I know eating out is bad and we really need to try and break the habit. I read an alarming article yesterday that further justifies that my family should bypass the drive-thru. Did you know that a chicken McNugget has at least 27 ingredients. Alarming I know! The chicken alone has at least seven different ingredients. What all can you put in a piece of chicken? What scares me is that my son loves chicken nuggets and eats them often. I feel like I stress about everything morsel of food that goes into my body while I let him eat pure junk. How do you step back and change the eating habits that you have allowed for so long? Any ideas?

Maybe you can make organic nugets at home. I know they are more expensive, but if it cuts out eating out then you will actually save money. I read that article you sent. We need to watch Food, Inc. I'm sure it will freak you out. Fast food is just quick and easy and terrible. I think America is getting ready to launch on a food revolution. More and more people are becoming aware of the nasty norms we put in our bodies...
