Most of us partake in fast food. Yes, probably way too often as well.

Convenience lures us in. It’s there. It’s quick. It usually tastes good.

Back-to-school time in Tuscaloosa and West Alabama brings a rushed schedule. Hurry up and hurry up. We are tired and in a hurry, and there they are….the golden arches. Oh, how I love thee. In fact, I love thee several times a week.

EAT THIS, NOT THAT  has provided us with the absolute WORST choices health-wise.

A few of my favorites made the trash list. There are certainly more healthy options on fast food menus.
www.eatthisnotthat.com literally tells us the best choices.

Would you like cheese on that? Can we supersize that? And of course, always get the diet soda. Pull around, your order is ready. My pleasure.
