Why does what tastes so good end up being so bad for us? I’m not talking about those people who came up with these health cookies and health smoothies that are supposed to taste good, but they taste like dirt. Nah, that’s not what I’m into. I’m into a greasy burger with bacon, grilled onions, onion rings on top of the burger, mayo, BBQ sauce, ketchup, all that good stuff that’s bad for you. Notice how I said grilled onions and not raw… There’s a difference. I want a 5-piece combo with fries, biscuits, and a large sweet tea from Popeyes. I want to go to an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet and not even step foot near the vegetable section.

 I want to go to the Cheesecake Factory and order every slice of cheesecake they have. You get the whole point. I want to be fat… I mean, not really fat, but eating fatty foods without getting fat. You know? I mean, why does eating unhealthy have to come with so many health consequences? Why can’t we just eat whatever we want to and not have to pay the price for it… literally. If you get sick now, you have hospital bills to pay. I mean, I’m tired of eating salads and fish. I’m tired of spending so much money on food just because it’s “good” for me. Let’s not even get into being a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle; the most I would do is be a pescatarian. They at least got some sense because they kept seafood in the equation. You know, some fried shrimp from City Island, some crab legs dipped in butter, even some nice juicy scallops.

 Don’t even get me started with candy. My sweet tooth is wicked. The amount of candy I’ve eaten and still eat is bad. The crazy part about my sweet tooth is I’ve never had a cavity before. I mean I was one of those kids on Halloween who used to ignore the “take one piece of candy” sign and dump the whole bowl into my bag, a sleeping bag to be exact. I wanted to make sure I maximized my loot. I used to always get lucky with the best candy, too. I’m talking about Kit Kats, Reese’s, Twix, Snickers bars, and that good stuff. I’m a chocolate kind of guy, too. I can get the gummy candies, but chocolate got it for me. Fast food, too. I love fast food, which is probably my biggest issue. I mean, who doesn’t like food that’s fast and cheap? A nice big Mac with large fries and an Oreo McFlurry. Make sure you ask them to mix the Oreo because they are cheap sometimes with them. And nothing beats arguably one of America’s best deals. The 4 for 4 from Wendy’s. You can get a sandwich, nuggets, a drink, and fries for 4 cash. You can even replace the drink with a frosty if you feel too tired that day. Make sure you get the chocolate one. That’s the low end of fast food.

 If you are feeling fancy and want to dabble in luxurious fast food, you can get some Chick-fil-A or even some Popeyes. If you are getting the chicken sandwich, though, make sure it’s from Chick-fil-A. And make sure you get their Chick-fil-A sauce too. Alright, now that I’ve been talking about food for the past hour. I’m actually trying to take my health seriously now that I’m older. I’m starting to get these things called love handles, and I don’t feel the love at all. I think all I have left to do is eat healthy. I am trying to, but it’s hard, though, man. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it right? I just don’t understand why eating so well is so bad for you.  Especially when the price of healthier options are so expensive as if the target market for food that is unhealthy is lower economic communities and the healthier foods lets say if a consumer were to purchase their groceries from whole foods that are a healthier alternative but it is expensive ya feel me, so lower economic communities can not afford and we’ve become accustomed to the less healthy which sadly is also the cheaper one.
