Thread: Americans' Healthy Feelings Poll and Fast Food

Would you answer some quick questions... Ask yourself and give some range of numbers to indicate... How healthy you feel? How much energy do you have? Do you "crash" energy-wise while eating the food? How much of the US Fast Food do you eat as a part of your diet?

Thank you. I would greatly appreciate to hear the answers. It is a matter of extreme concern and some curiosity for me. Please be honest.

Are directing this to Americans only, or are you directing this to the general PF community?

I'm lucky I live in a country where fresh produce which is cheap, great quality and readily available. Also, there are no American fast food companies in Laos. The government won't allow it. The Pizza Company, which is a Thai based company has opened two pizza restaurants in the last 12 months. There have also been a couple pizza restaurants opened by locals,, I'd rather eat at these.

90% of my diet is home cooked, we have a housekeeper who is diet conscious and a fabulous cook. My diet mainly consists of veges, fruit, fish, chicken and rice. She also does western styled meals based around vegetables, fish, chicken,,, including pasta, potatoes etc.

When we eat out, we prefer to eat local foods. These are mainly based on fish, chicken, rice and vegetables. I can't remember the last time I ate a hamburger, and chips (you American call French fries) rarely.

We live in a city which has a huge variety of food and restaurants. Whatever you want is available, and really cheap. My wife and I can go out, spend less than 15 bucks including a beer (or wine) for a two course meal. A bowl of Lao noodle soup with beef and vegetables can be had for around $1.50.

It's not what you eat. It's what you don't. Personally I eat what I want, I just happen to not want to eat fast food.Fill your body with what it needs and you will live healthy and happy until the day you die.
