Childhood Dreams : Why Not?

When I was a little girl, I would always dream of being those famous celebrities on television. But I did not grew a desire for that. As I grew more and experience more things in life, I start having a desire of being a pediatrician. I also have a desire to travel the world and live in Atlanta for the rest of my life.

from McDonalds than a home cooked meal of baked fish with a Caesar salad on the side. A Big Mac cheeseburger alone is 550 calories and with French fries, that’s an extra 365 calories, compared to the baked fish and a salad which is only 324 calories combined. Mostly because they are too lazy to actually take out the time to prepare the meal for themselves. When cooking you have to keep checking to see if the foods done, take out certain supplies, and you have to stand up to cook, while at the drive-through you come in hungry and leave out full in less than ten minutes. After a long day of work, most people want to take the easy way out by going through the drive thru and ordering a combo. Take the easy road one night then slowly but surely it starts to become a habit, and that’s when lots of Americans find themselves in a fast food restaurant line almost every day. For example, my cousin works long hours as a nurse and when she gets off from work, she’s usually exhausted. She has a ten year old son who’s never had a home cooked meal from his mother.

My family always question my cousin about why she doesn’t cook and she always give us the same answer.

This poor eating pattern has now led to my family having a special fondness for the fast food chain, just as McDonald’s strives for.

The problem is the food that is served at these types of restaurants, especially McDonalds, are high in fat, salt, processed, and can have harmful ingredients included in the food. While home cooked food takes time to plan and make people know what they are eating, that isn’t the case at McDonalds: “McDonald’s burgers retain its fresh appearance for a very long time. This can easily fool customers who do not have a hint of this alteration in their burgers. The use of excessive preservatives is harmful for your health which McDonalds seems to overlook for gaining more and more

To begin, there are way too many fast food restaurants. With a whopping 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants in the US alone, it’s no surprise that when you’re driving down the street looking for a bite to eat, McDonalds is one of the easiest places to stop and go (Zinczenko 463). There is never a shortage of places to go eat at, but unfortunately the majority of them are fast food. Although some seem healthier than others, they all share one thing in common, cheap, easy to access food. Zinczenko provides a good point saying “Lunch and dinner, for me, was a daily choice between McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Pizza Hut. Then as now, these were

Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to understand. Dreams have strange concepts that some people do not fully comprehend, especially ones that seem out of range. However, fantasy is an essential component in surviving. Dreams and goals differ, yet are constantly mixed up, confused and misused. The terms are unique in their own ways, have very distinct aspects but somehow still become intertwined. People’s modern goals typically include graduating school, getting a degree, obtaining a job and becoming successful enough to have a decent paycheck that supports all the basic
