It's not my fault!! What am I to do when I am constantly blasted with flashy, enticing advertisements married up with a catchy jingle? For example:
On top of that it's so convenient and cheap to eat excessive amounts of unhealthy food. Grabbing a bag of chips is quicker and easier than making a salad. Drive through at McDonalds is cheaper than Subway. What's pathetic is the fact I wouldn't mind paying the extra for Subway if it had a drive thru... heaven forbid I have to get out of my car, walk in and burn off 3 of those several hundred calories I am going to be consuming.
Portions are a problem too. Growing up we are taught to finish all of the food on our plates since there are starving kids in third world countries. So from birth we are programmed to gorge ourselves on food and that programming sticks with us our whole lives. Fast food doesn't help by providing us with the option to "Super Size" portions that are already unhealthily large.
Plus, food is just good. I love food. I refuse to acknowledge the irony of me writing this while eating on my second lunch break of the day...
