Reading

What advice could you give someone who eats a lot of junk food?

Prereading

The younger generations eat at least one delivered meal every week.

Reading

delivered

I have to admit that I don’t have the best diet. I don’t have a lot of time to cook, so I often just go through the drive-through of a fast food restaurant or pop into the grocery store and get something that is premade to heat up in the microwave. At work, I only have about 20 minutes for lunch, so it is easiest to have a sandwich or hamburger delivered by someone who can just drop it off.

snacking can lead you to gain weight

Reading

gained

At home I eat a lot of crisps and snack food, because I am usually pretty tired, and I don’t have time to prepare a salad. Sometimes at night I come down and have a midnight snack of ice cream or cookies when I can’t sleep. I have gained a bit of weight, but I don’t have a lot of time to do exercise. I usually spend about two hours a day in my car driving to work.

We often indulge more often than we should.

Reading

indulge

On the weekends, I usually go out with my friends to eat. Since it is the only time during the week that I have to relax and really enjoy myself, I will often indulge with a big piece of steak, lots of french fries and a brownie with ice cream for dessert. I rarely eat vegetables, because I don’t really like the taste, and I don’t want to waste my money on something I don’t love. Once when the cook was preparing my steak, a piece of lettuce fell on the plate. I think that is the last time I ate a vegetable.

Some people change thier habits and add vegetables to their junk food.

Reading

habits

I am not sure that I will change my diet or my habits in the near future. I really don’t have time to prepare any food myself and to be honest, I don’t really want to. The food I eat now is delicious, cheap and convenient. Maybe one day, if I have children, I will try to eat better, but I will probably be even busier than I am now, and they will probably eat hamburgers with me.
