Fast Food Snob

I am one. So what?

I remember way back when I watched a John Berardi lecture, where he explained what a perfect day was. You wake up, you have your perfectly planned balanced breakfast, your post workout shake, your prepacked lunch, you afternoon snack in your car, then a great healthy perfectly acid base balanced dinner...and then you think oh I am having a perfect day, and another one, and another one, and then life happens.

Then you come home, starved, dehydrated, you've missed the last three meals, you are so stress ridden from traffic your hands are shaking, your back aches and you can barely remember waking up...was that even today? There are days, when you can't wait to get your veggies out of the fridge and cut them up, where all the meat looks bland, and the thought of an egg sounds like too much work to even start cracking on. If you were a normal person, you would have gone through the local drive through and enjoyed your local choice of fast food. А burger, or two, with fries, or not. Me...I'm a fast food snob, so I go by the store, pick up the best whole wheat bread with apples and cinnamon, a pack of the most delicious gourmet goat cheese, some fresh butter and I am off home, to make two pieces of toast with plenty of great tasting cheese and enjoy it with a glass of very well chilled Pinot Grigio. 100% satisfaction 0% crap 200% fast food.

Sounds wonderful! I don’t do fast food either, maybe it’s because we weren’t raised with it as an option. I think growing up in Bulgaria, fast food meant exactly what you described and not a greasy burger and fries. Maybe it’s different now?

It IS different, and it sucks. I wish people took more time to eat fast ;)

I'm 100% with you that, Galya. The thought of going through a drive-through just does not compute...I'd even rather go to a gas station and buy a bag of nuts and a sad looking apple. Old habits die hard.

Galya, I love this post! I think that fast food is actually closer to what you described than most people think. Fast. Food.
Hitting up the local joint for frankenfood gets a check for fast, but food? Not so much.

I am all for a speedy and delicious meal that doesn't lack anything in real-food integrity!
