Why I Hate Eating Out

As you know I really feel like it is important for families to cut out the "eating out" habit and cook at home. Eating out is becoming such a terrible epedemic in our country and the portion sizes are so much larger than they used to be, not to mention all of the MSG that they are putting into the food.  It takes just as much time to fix a sandwich before heading out than it does to go through the drivethrough while you are on the road.  I am not saying that we don't ever eat out either but it is not something I like to do, not to mention the fact that it so expensive. The only good news about eating out is that many chains are now offering healthy options.  You can check out http://www.fastfoodnutrition.org/ for all of the facts on some of the most popular fast food chains. 

Here is a clip from Morgan Spurlock's awesome movie called Super Size Me.  This guy is nuttier than me and lived off of Mcdonalds for 30 days and documented every bit of it.  You would be amazed at how it changed him in just 30 days.  Here is a short clip from the movie:





This is such a great movie, especially if you are homeschooling mom because it is educational and teaches kids about the importance of nutrition.  Pick up your copy of Super Size Me today.
