FAST FOOD WOES

I lost a bet to my husband and had to pick up his lunch. He had a craving for a big mac. I had to shut my mouth and drive through to pick it up. I don’t know what possessed me to see if their ‘healthy’ salads could be made with out the chicken, but I asked, and, I could have it my way.

As a working mother, I know that there isn’t always enough time in the day to cook a meal. That we are ingrained in this working culture-
I no longer lecture, because well I am not perfect. I simply can not afford to buy all my food organic. But most of Ezra’s food has an organic sticker. I wish organic milk was a lot cheeper, because soy isn’t always the greatest option. (it’s a lot harder for your body to digest.)
I know I am not a perfect, especially environmentally. I use disposable diapers. We are renters and don’t own our own washer. But I try-
