Hearing about fast food outlets as being inherently bad for us reminds me of an old quote that seems to apply:

"Two men look through prison bars; one sees mud, the other, stars".

There are actually a great variety of really healthy "fast food" outlets around. More so now than ever before. It just takes time to search online before going out. The great thing is, once you've found one that you really like & has real food that does you a lot of good in many different ways, you tend to go back there time & time again.

I really dislike the big fast food chains. It's not just what they put in the stuff they give us, but a whole range of factors like how it's prepared, cleanliness, etc that all boil down to one common denominator: they care only about profits & refuse to pour their love into the food that is supposed to nourish us - at every level of the organization. I can recall a speech the owner of McDonalds made many decades ago saying how he owed his success not to burgers, but to Real Estate!

The Heart Foundation Tick is everywhere, on even the most unhealthy foods. Despite their protests, this symbol can be bought.
