5 ways to Break the Fast Food Habit

Many of us eat fast food regularly due to it's availability and convenience. Even though you know it's not the best thing to be putting in your body, the addicting tastes and affordable prices are enough to keep you coming back for more. However, Eating large amounts of fast food will eventually cause your body harm. Fast food does not contain the essential vitamins and minerals your body needs to get out of a meal. Problems with cholesterol and obesity could occur in those who eat fast food regularly. Here are some tips to help you break your fast food habit.

1. Plan ahead - For the most part, we tend to opt for fast food when we are in a hurry and need a quick meal. If you plan ahead you not have to stop at McDonalds on the way home from work for dinner. Always have an idea about what you are going to have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner before you start the day.

2. Pack Snacks - If you carry healthy snacks with you when you go out, they will hold you off until it is time to have a meal. Pack things like trail mix, carrots and dip, or crackers and cheese. This way you will not be tempted to grab a small bite of greasy food.

3. Try once a month cooking - There are recipes online and in books that teach you how to cook enough meals to freeze so that they can be re-heated if you need a quick dinner solution.

4. Healthy Restaurants - find out if there are any healthy restaurants or cafes in your area and try eating there instead of fast food joints when you need a quick meal.

5. Reward yourself - If you are successful in cutting back on fast food, its okay to reward yourself every now and then. Having fast food a few times a month will satisfy your fast food cravings, but won't bring you back into the habit!

If everyone in the United States became Vegetarian for one day...


Have you ever wondered what would happen if everyone in North America stopped eating meat for a whole day? The idea is mind-blowing!! Here is a list of compiled facts that show the effects of nationwide vegetarianism.

Think of the resources that we could save!

The US would save enough water to supply 6 states- Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine – with enough water to last 4 months!!

Not only would we save water, but 1.5 BILLION pounds of crops, 70 million gallons of gas (which by the way would fuel all the cars in both Canada and Mexico), 3 million acres of land, 33 tonnes of antibiotics, and $70 million in economic damages.

225 million tonnes of soy is produced every year to feed the animals that we breed, so if we stopped eating meat, there would be enough food & grain saved to feed 1.5 billion starving people with 3 pounds of food a day.

Think of what we could stop!

All of the trucks, cars, SUV's, ships, and planes in the world do not make as much greenhouse gas emission as the meat industry, which makes 40% more greenhouse gas than any other pollutant.

By going vegetarian for a day, we would prevent 1.2 million tons of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions from polluting the air - That’s as much as the Greenhouse gas emissions from all of France!

The University of Chicago concluded that going Vegetarian for a day would be the equivalent to the environment as if everyone in the states switching their cars to hybrid cars.
If every American family skipped a meat-meal one day a week and had a vegetarian meal instead, the carbon dioxide prevention would be the same as if half a million cars were taken off American roads.

If we all went vegetarian for a day...

The solution would be right in front of us. We would have the ultimate weapon against the effects of pollution and global warming!
