FFN: An Eye-Opener


                Fast Food Nation has really affected me on some points. The book has shown me several unpleasant facts about fast food that made me change my eating habits. After I have read the first few chapters of the book, it made me think how unhealthy these foods are. Most of the chapters really grossed me out. I could not believe that these foods that we always enjoy eating are prepared that way. Also, I felt concerned about those children who often have fast food as their daily meal. I realized how these kinds of food would affect them at a young age.
                Now, I am trying my best not to eat fast food. I also started to lessen my intake of pork and beef after I read the chapters about meat. I am not as excited to eat such foods as I used to. It is really difficult to completely stop eating meat and fast food, especially when my family often eats it. I would not deny that there are still times that I eat meat, but I make sure that it is just a small portion. Hopefully, I could maintain this kind of eating habit because I know my body would thank me for it. I would not rush the change, but I would make sure that I am in the right path. I believe I am doing the right thing, and I would encourage my family to start a healthy lifestyle with me. Fast Food Nation is really an eye-opener.
