The Effects of Fast Food

I knew at the time I shouldn't……but it was late, I was tired and coming home with the thought of having to turn around and start cooking dinner just wasn't doing it for me. 

"Shall I get take-away?"

"No, better not, you know what it does to you"

"But, it's late, I don't want to face cooking." 

"Don't think about it, you know you can have something quick at home." 

"Yeah, but can I be bothered" 

- and so the conversation in my head continued

Way Back When....

There are times when I feel so blessed to have been born to the mom and dad that  I had - and yes, I do refer to them in the past tense.  Being a little girl in the 50s was both a fun time as well as an affluent time.

The other day a friend and I were discussing the dairy and meat industry and just how much of an effect it has had on the way we live.

You have to hand it to them that both industries have done such an amazing marketing job over the last few decades that the majority of people actually believe that you have to eat meat to get protein and that you have to have dairy in order to get calcium.
