My Fast Food History

Growing up fast food was part of my life but it didn’t take over my life. As a family we would go out to eat at a fast food restaurant about once week so it was more like a treat to my family when we went to eat fast food. As I loved eating french fries and hamburgers especially a Happy Meal from McDonalds. I remember me and my brother would go at the time McDonalds would give Pokémon toys with the happy meal which is the only reason we would like to go. Fast food wasn’t a big part of my life since my mom cooked for the entire family mostly everyday of the week. My family would mostly go out to eat on the weekends and some fast food places we would go to is to McDonalds mainly for those happy meal toys, Taco Bell In an Out are the main places we would go to. When I go to these places today I get a Big Mac combo from McDonalds, a Mexican pizza and crunchy pizza from Taco Bell and from In an Out I would get a number one which is a Double Double fries and a drink. It Felt more like a privilege when ever we would go out to eat as a family to a fast food restaurant because we didn’t eat out much since my mom cooked mostly everyday.

My eating habits are relatively the same from my childhood. As a family we would usually only go out to eat to a fast food restaurant about one day a week. Only now since my mom started working when ever she doesn’t have time to make a home cooked meal for the family my goes over to Little Cesar’s for some pizza or get hamburgers from McDonalds. Some new fast food favorites of mine and my family are Panda Express and Subway. Fast food is something I don’t rely on much. At the very most I only eat fast food two times a week. Fast food today does play a part in my life since I have two younger brothers that love the happy meal from McDonalds. They remind me a lot of me and my brother when we were that age because all they want is that silly little toy from McDonalds just like we did at that age. Every time we pass by a McDonalds or any other fast food place they always point and scream that that they want to go there and to get the toy. Its usually just a quick stop through the drive thru or sometimes we go inside and eat. My parents don’t always give in to the kicks and screams of my younger brothers because they don’t want them eating fast food to often since it’s not healthy at all. Most times they do give in is on a Sunday afternoon when we all go out to eat together as a family.
