How Healthy was Your Dinner?

Last night for dinner I ate:

· Steak, which was extremely amazing. My dad likes to marinate them in butter and garlic stuff before putting them in the pan.

· Salad. The salad contained all different lettuces, which was different but i like to try some new things every once in awhile.

· Garlic Bread, which consists of bread, garlic, and butter!

My mother and father both were raised in the south. Both of their parents are real big on organic food and homegrown vegetables; however, we hardly ever eat healthy anymore. Frozen vegetables seem to cook faster than the homegrown vegetables. Eating healthy comes to be a high price in today’s economy. Grocery stores like to raise the prices higher because of the low quantity they have. This makes it hard for people to stay home and eat healthy because of prices. I think prices should be lowered on any groceries period. I think obesity rates would lower if some things were taken into action; however, I think some people like to ignore what’s actually happening to them while eating fast food.

Fast food has never been a big thing with my family. My mom and dad both like to cook at home more than going to get something quick. Fast food has so many unhealthy ingredients. It seems like they cook with a lot more grease then average people do at home. Every now and then we will all go out and get Mexican or Chinese but McDonald's is out of the question. I tend to sneak by one every now and then after school but very rarely do I consume it all. My parent’s don’t always cook the healthiest ways but I think cooking at home is always ten times better than going out. Don’t get me wrong, every now and then I like to eat things that make me feel ten times fatter, but I also like to eat as healthy as possible to keep my figure in shape.
