How good, or bad, is this for me?
Do you ever wonder how bad is this for me, when your ordering food at your favourite fast food joint?
The thing is, most of us don't. And, if we do, we assume a great many things. For example: which has less calories, a multi-grain bagle with cream cheese or a egg and cheese sandwhich?
Not only does the bagel with cream cheese have more calories, but more fat too.
How about this one, chocolate chip muffin or a quarter pounder?
Would you believe the muffin has more calories and the same fat percentage?
The thing is, we treat our cars better than we do our bodies. With out these bodies we use to get around on this planet our lives are over. Think about all the things you will be unable to do with out your healthy body???
Do you ever wonder why you feel horrible after eating a fast food lunch? or when you skip breakfast why you feel lathargic and bad by 10 O'clock?
Your body is mad at you. Just like if you put moonshine in your car and run it. What will your car do? Spit and sputter and stall.
Do you remember that old cliche, you are what you eat? Sorry....but it's true. Bodys are made in the kitchen....not in the gym.
So here's a look at what your fueling your body with when you eat out. There are some good choices, but you need to be educated when making the right decision for your body.
So go Vote for your Favourite Fasd Food Restaurant then go see whether it's good or bad for you.

McDonalds
Food guide for Mcdonalds
Ray Kroc mortgaged his home and invested his entire life savings to become the exclusive distributor of a five-spindled milk shake maker called the Multimixer. Hearing about the McDonald's hamburger stand in California running eight Multimixers at a time, he packed up his car and headed West. It was 1954. He was 52 years old.When he arived he realized he had never seen so many people being served so quickly. Seizing the day, he pitched the idea of opening up several restaurants to the brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, convinced that he could sell eight of his Multimixers to each and every one. "Who could we get to open them for us?" Dick McDonald said.
"Well," Kroc answered, "what about me?"
Ray Kroc opened the Des Plaines restaurant in 1955. First day's revenues-$366.12! No longer a functioning restaurant, the Des Plaines building is now a museum containing McDonald's memorabilia and artifacts, including the Multimixer!
Today there is more than 31,000 locations. Still using Ray's Multimixer I presume.....Now he is a good sales rep.
Ahhh, the golden arches. For millions of kids around the world its is the sign that were stopping for food. Lets see what were REALLY putting in our bodies. First link is a nutrion chart of all their food and the second is a calculator that will enable you to add items together and see what a meal there contains.

Tim Horton's
I realize Tim Horton's is not a world wide chain so Most of you will not know it. But this one is so crazy i have to put it in here. This place is a cult in Canada. Their following will do anything to get their hands on Tim Horton's food and drink. Imagine this senario. You work in an office type setting and get two 15 minute breaks and one 30 minute break. You also have a cafeteria in house and a coffee room that has a coffee machine in which you can make coffee for free. You will leave the office on your 15 minute break to drive to Tim Horton's which is a 5 minutes drive to get coffee for you and your friends at $1.45 a pop.Does this make sense to anyone here? Is there Crack in the coffee? Personally I don't like the coffee but people seems to. As far as nutrtion goes I'll let you be the judge of that.

Wendy's

I like Wendy's. I have always thought that it is the healthiest of all the fast food joints. Cause they have things like baked potatoes, taco salads, brocoli, chili, etc.... CHeck out they're nutrition page and see if i was right.

Arby's
Arby's was founded by Forrest and Leroy Raffel in Ohio in 1964, Together they were determined to start a fast food franchise based on something other than hamburgers. The brothers wanted to use the preferred name of "Big Tex", but that name was already being used by an Akron businessman. They eventually decided on the Arby's moniker, based on R.B., the initials of Raffel Brothers, thus Arby's, LLC, was born. By coincidence, R.B. can also be short for roast beef, the company's main product, a point which was used when the backronym "America's Roast Beef, Yes Sir" was used as an advertising campaign in the 1980s.Today
there are approximatly 3600 locations.
Roast beef is good for us right? The real question here is what do they do to the beef before we get it. How many calories is in the food and how much fat ? Another thing to look for in this stuff is the sodium. Too much sodium is not good for us. We all need some but too much leads to high blood pressure which leads to heart disease and kidney disease. The average recommended amount of sodium per day is NO MORE than 2000mg. The hot ham and swiss sub has more than 2600 mg......Start adding folks.

- I think if you don't overdo it you can get a lot of value for your dollar. And most of the fast food places are kid pleasers too.
