#28: Fast Food is Cheap
“We all know that we should be eating healthier than we are,” I type as I shove yet another gummy worm into my mouth. We all know that it will contribute to our physical and emotional well-being. But there are a lot of reasons it can be really hard to actually eat healthy the way we know we should.
And one of those is cost. It’s a sad fact of life that many healthy foods, especially prepackaged ones, are expensive, while the Taco Bell value menu is cheap. And this could lead to more problems down the road when bad diets lead to medical problems that cost even more money. It’s a vicious cycle.
