Fast Past New Future

Back in the day when I was a kid, McDonalds was the place to go to for the kids’ meal with a surprise toy inside. It was a special moment in my small life when I was able to get something from any fast food place especially from McDonalds. For me it was a dream land of fun free happiness when that McDonalds employee gave me that happy meal. With it in my hand I couldn’t wait to open to find out what toy I got that time. I remember the yellow and red seats with the brown tables with the McDonalds clown I was never really fond of. As I sat down, I glanced out the window onto the play ground area hoping I could go out there once I was done with my meal. When I opened up that happy meal, that wonderful smell made my mouth water and I took my time eating every bit of that meal like it was my last for I never knew when ill be back again. Fast food to me during my childhood years was something special. It was not every day that my family went out to eat fast food. Mostly it was something you had to earn and wait weeks until my parents had extra money to afford to go out to eat. I did however try my hardest to get the happy meals with the cheeseburger or the chicken nuggets but that was like pulling teeth to get my parents to get that instead of a plain hamburger. Nevertheless, I have great memories of the past fast food experience but things have change quite a bit from those days.


Today fast food to me tastes somewhat good but mostly the flavor has changed a lot because I don’t eat fast food any more. I gave up fast food many years ago and for a few good reasons. One big reason was my health. Second reason was my weight and third was that fast food was so bad for you that I didn’t know if it was real food with all the stuff they put into the animals as well as fillers to make you want more of that food. I found so many things it did to me not only on the outside but in the inside as well. I was like a ticking time bomb waiting for the zero count down until I exploded from clogged arteries from eating fast food. Fast food is the thing of the past in my life now. I enjoy home cooked food which may take me longer to make but the end result is something you put your heart soul into as well as it being so much better tasting then fast food. For the last few years and the rest of my life I will eat organic food only even if it cost more. This is my life and I don’t want the problems when I get older like other people have at my age or older.
