Even if the food is FAST is it worth eating?

Have you noticed that as you move through life that your likes and dislikes of certain foods has changed?

When I was a kid simple foods like Kraft Mac'n cheese, beans and weenies, canned chicken in a casserole or bologna were great. I think it was Sydney who said that she could eat chicken nuggets for every meal. (blah, now I wouldn't eat those frozen things if you paid me) As a kid I loved them all, but I hated vegetables. I gagged every time I ate them. I used to think it was the way my mom cooked them (sorry mom). But in college I learned that the human tasted buds change every 7 years (or something like that, don't quote me). Now I love tons of different vegetables and hate all that stuff I used to inhale as a kid.

For example I can't eat taco bell anymore. I hate it. All through high school, college and even the early years of our marriage Larry and I were totally fine with fast food. There are still a few places that we like. BUT mainly we think they are all crap. Are we getting snooty in our "old" age? Or are we just not willing to put up with crunchy refried beans or chewy tortillas? I'd like to think that we are just more informed of what is out there to eat. There's a wonderful chain Mexican food place called "Chipolte" that is our new substitute for taco bell. I highly suggest the salad!! DELICIOUS! We have even replaced the craving of Panda Express with Pei Wei.

So my plan was to skip over the whole McDonald's thing. But I think I have to address it. Kids love it. I have a hankering for their fries...sometimes. And when Larry and I were watching that documentary on McD's where that guy ate it for every meal for a month...we seriously paused it and got some Big Mac's to eat while we watched it. (I can't believe I admitted that!) Although I do believe that I am 100% cured of that craving for the rest of my life.

"WHY?" you ask (just roll with me)

Because I have now officially been sick (praying to the porcelain god) twice from food I ate at McD's. What's that saying?

"Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."
