Leaving Fast Food Behind
We’ve tried — as a family — to eliminate fast food a number of times. We’ve given it up for Lent countless times, we’ve banned it from the house except for once a week countless times, we’ve said we can only afford to do it once a month countless times.
No matter how we tried or what we tried it always seemed to make its way back into our lives. Typically it would be because some evening activity ran late and we’d need to find something to eat for dinner rather quickly to keep the kids on a bedtime/bathtime schedule.
When I was growing up we rarely ate out. I mean we had pizza here and there, but for the most part we had dinner at home. Of course, it helped that my dad was the family cook and was generally home by 4 p.m. Even when my brothers and I were in sports and had practice after school until 5:30 p.m. we could always count on dinner being ready for us (even if we had to re-heat it!) when we got home.
