Fast Food Nation

I’ve been on a mission to get healthy for about seven months now. The hardest thing for me so far was not making myself workout, thinking more positively, and taking care of important health concerns, but it was cutting out the fast food, completely. Now, I do not believe that all people who eat fast food are unhealthy, and I also believe that for some people everything in moderation is perfectly fine. For me, I had to quit eating fast food, because just one bite of my favorite burger or breakfast combo would send me down a slippery slope causing me to continue to eat fast food forever. As I drive around town I realize how tempting these fast food places make themselves. The signs lure me in with the 2 sausage biscuits for $3, and even though I ate a healthy and filling bowl of oatmeal I find my stomach signals to me that I am hungry when I know I’m not. Am I the only person in the world who struggles like this? There’s no telling, but I did find the below infographic about fast food in the United States. Let’s just say I’m glad I don’t live in a fast food capital!

Highlights from the Infographic include:

  • Plano, TX residents spend the most on fast food.
  • Louisville, KY has the most McDonald’s in the city per 100,000 city residents.
  • Boston, MA residents spend 92% less than the national average on fast food.
