Blog Entry : Food!

Growing up in a Mexican home all you would eat is home cooked meals. My mom would cook for us at home rather then to go out and eat fast food or as my dad will call “trash”. As you can tell by now both my parents were raised the old fashion way were all you would eat is Mexican home cooked meals. My mother loved to cook for us a family of six. I remember my mom would tell us come help me out with this so you can lean when you get older. At the age of twelve my mom would want us to be in the kitchen with her and help her out with the food. Mother would tell us come help me that way you can learn and cook for yourself. So later in life you can cook for your own family, just like how am cooking for you. My parents wouldn't really want to take us out and eat fast food rarely would they take my sisters my brother and I. Since my parents  were thought at a young age eating a home cooked meal is the best for you. If they did take us out a eat fast food it would be as a little treat for us. The days my parents would take us out and eat somewhere else rather then home it would be on a Saturday or maybe a Sunday. When they did take us out and eat it they would take us to McDonald's, Toppers or to a Mexican restaurant. When I was younger I remember eating my chicken nuggets and fries when we would go and eat at McDonald's I remember I loved going to McDonald's because of the play ground. At the time I guess it didn't really bother me that my parents would only take us out and eat fast food on a Saturday or Sunday I was a little girl and since I could remember I was thought to eat Mexican home cooked meals at a young age.
Compared to when I was a little girl things have changed and if I want to I will eat fast food I don’t have my parents telling me other wise. Now that am grown up I can see what fast food does to you. I can see that eating to much of it is unhealthy and it can lead to serious problems. In a regular basis I try to avoid fast food. Don’t get me wrong I love fast food but I know that if I eat to much of it  at the end its not going to be worth it. Yes I do eat fast food every now and then but if I had the choice not to eat fast food I wont I would much rather eat a home cooked meal. The way my parents raised me it did affect how I eat I don’t eat fast food as much only every now and then as a littler treat for myself.
