re: fast food. doing something in the real world

since i always knew about fast food and it's not the healthiest thing to eat, soi decided to talk about it with my friends and my family about it. i'm pretty sure everyone already knows that it's not healthy, but i want to go more in depth with it. i wanted to share my knowledge on fast food and food in general with them, with already what i know. when i sat down and talked to them, my family memebers didn't reallyhave much of a reaction to eat. i'm guessing thats because they rarely eat fast food so they wouldn't care as much as those who do. from this experience of telling people about fast food, some care and some don't. it's always the ones that really pay attention to what they buy (food) that don't seem to really care about what they're eating cause they buyt he food and know what's in it. compared to those who just buy anything that seems good to eat to them that don't know whats in their food. but back onto talking about letting others know about fast food. my friends were pretty shocked, but they said they would still continue eating fast food because it's cheap and affordable, they just won't eat it as much as they use to. they'll try to resist from eating fast food and watch what they eat. i didn't tell them the whole story about where the food really comes from and how the whole thing works. i think they would have been too disgusted to still have a appetite later on so i didn't tell them the nasty parts. after telling both my family and friends about food and stuff they should know about it, i felt pretty good and accomplished my mission on spreading my knowledge. i feel good because slowly people will soon know where their food comes from and instead, people wouldn't answer "from the supermarket" like in michael pollan's book, omnivore's dilemma, the next time someone asks them where their food is from.
