i know i should find it disgusting, but fast food is still a real struggle for me. i never was allowed to eat it when i was a kid except as a special "treat" on road trips, so when i became an adult, i reveled in the ability to stop by taco bell or mcdonalds just because i wanted it. i was probably the only person on earth who after watching supersize me thought, "hmm, i could totally go for a big mac right now." and i did. right now i work right in the center of harlem (next door to the apollo) and within two block radius are mcdonalds, popeyes, and white castle. fortunately i have only succumbed once since starting there in august, but it's a real struggle every day. and they wonder why obesity plagues our urban communities and people of color...give them some healthy options!
