The Perils of Fast Food
“People don’t want to get out of their cars to get dinner.” — Harry Balzer
When is the perfect time to eat fast-food? It seems that for me it’s…. NEVER!
I knew at the time I shouldn’t……but it was late, I was tired and driving home with the thought of having to turn around and start cooking dinner simply wasn’t doing it for me.
“Shall I get takeaway?”
“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.
Call me crazy, but I’m picking that you also have, what I call, “monkey chatter” going on in your head when faced with a dilemma???
So, on the one hand, I had the option of stopping and picking up a burger (yes, a veggie burger) and fries, the other choice being that I whip up something quick at home. Let me add here that there were no other people involved, so it wasn’t as if I had a family meal to get. It was the thought of “whipping up something” that just wasn’t appealing.
