This video has nothing to do with information about fast food. this video was more like a rant you can't get people to eat healthy it is a life style that they have to adapt.

The Truth about Fast Food and Junk Food

Natalie Butler: Now I have this client and he just mourns and groans about how expensive the grocery bills are, okay I swear this guy eats out every single night for dinner. When he sends me his food diaries he doesn't put like chicken breast, French fries he just puts the name of the restaurant and what answer he got. So that is telling me that he is spending so much more money at the restaurants than he would actually is if you would have just gone in the grocery store and actually bought the whole foods and made it himself and it goes back to convenience too. Okay if you are in the grocery store and you are buying those pre-package, pre-made hamburger patties because you don't want to go home and spend the 15 or 30 seconds to mould the hamburger meat into little buns, so little patties, you know that's a lame excuse because it really just pulls down the laziness. If we can spend a little time to save some money then you really cant complaint about you know eating healthy or buying food at the grocery stores too expensive or too inconvenient. Let's face it. When people say that they can't eat healthy because it's too expensive usually that is an excuse. Now there are some you know incidents when people actually have a very strict budget may be you are in college and your budget is just minimal and okay I can understand that but when these people are making the excuse that they cant eat healthy and then I see them at the restaurants, you know, their car is parked in the parking lot four times a week or they are the same people that are frequenting the fast food restaurants during lunch because they didn't take enough time to make their lunch the night before or you know driving through the Starbucks drive-through because they need to pick me up or they want their daily caffeine short. Okay, this is an example of people who are kind of hypocrites saying that they can't afford eat healthy but really they are spending very much more money than if they just bought the whole foods from the grocery store in the first place. Now people complain about eating healthy is too expensive and if that's the complaint they are buying the wrong type of foods because those people that are complaining are typically going to be buying the pre-packets the processed, the box dinners in the frozen food section. Those frozen dinners are like 450 a box, same thing goes if you are out there at restaurant and you order $15 on-tray when you add in tax and you know tip to that if you would have gone to the grocery store you could have bought a roast, one pound of carrots, potatoes, celery I mean you could have had a huge box full of frown fresh produce and yet you just spend $15 dollars and more on one meal and you could have had meal for 5 or 6 days from what you would have bought at the grocery store. And then also this relates to the theory that people say I can't eat healthy because you know its too expensive, when really they are talking about convenience so they would rather purchase the frozen packaged foods instead of buying the home foods and they are unprocessed foods and going home and taking a little time and putting in a little effort to make something from scratch. I mean have you do you know anybody in your life right now that makes something from scratch, those people are getting fewer and fewer in the world and its really sad. So my thought here is just that if you are making the excuse that you can't eat healthy and yet you are spending so much more money going out or you know buying convenient foods, you really need to think about how you are living. If people are complaining that eating healthy is too expensive, well really I just going to have to say so what I mean you got to do what you have to do in order for you to have a high quality life and not die early and if people are choosing to put their priorities of you know living in a bigger house or having the nice car or you know that consumer mentality that is so prevalent in America. We are spending so much money on stuff that are not necessities and don't impact our long-term health and yet were you know on the back burner is you know healthy foods and cooking at home and spending more time you know making foods from scratch I mean those are things that are really going to add up and impact our health in the future and yet you know those are the things that we just don't really pay attention to and in America lets face it 60% of people are overweight we are the unhealthiest, we have ever been in history. And yet the trends are still continuing. People are still eating out, they are eating more portion sizes are getting bigger. You know people are spending more money on fast food and at the grocery store I mean just all these kinds of trends and you have got to realize that those trends are associated with the growing obesity rates, those things are definitely connected so when people are complaining that eating healthiest too expensive it just pulls down to fact that what is important to you, because what's important to you is what you are going to spend your money on and therefore what's important to you is having a nice house full you know you are going to make that happen and so we kind of just have to realign our priorities and priority number one should be our health. Now when people are complaining that eating healthy is too expensive I really just want to say wake up because we do so many things in life not even thinking about it and we just go through our life, we are trying to survive, we are trying to get through the day and there are things that we do you know little by little that add up on our health. So we are at grocery store and we are trying to save money but yet we are picking the you know little packaged individual four ounce yogurt containers when right next to it is the 32 ounce container that's two ounce cheaper. You know what we are going through life and you know we just we think about what we want so we go to the Starbucks drive-through and you know at that moment we are not thinking about what we could do to save money because to save money if you really needed your coffee you would have made it at home or you would have made it at work, you wouldn't have gone to Starbucks and bought you know $5 coffee drink that was very too much coffee to drink at one time any ways. You know what we are going through life and we are exhausted and we are worn out and so instead of going home and making dinner or you know saying no to someone who is asking us to do something which is just too much or you know letting people crowd our schedules when we could just simply say no you know we can't take on extra responsibilities we just say yes and we just keep letting people schedules and give us more responsibility and then we don't have time to really do what's important. So we go to the restaurant. So may be frequent to fast food chains and we you know get the packaged processed box foods because they are convenient, we don't have to spend time cooking them. So, I think people just do a lot of things and we just have habits that we don't realize what we are really doing because we are just going through our day and we are just trying to get through and so I am going to survive and trying to live and yet we are doing so many things that we don't even realize that we are doing that it cant just you know added up over the years it just really doesn't add on our health. It may take a little bit more work and may take a little bit more money but in the end do you want to feel like crab do you want to be laid up in a hospital bed taking you know a ton of medications and being on your death bed or do you want to be vibrant full of life and you know running marathons at 75 and you know there is things that you can do now to effect your health and taking care of yourselves that you don't end up like that. So my message here today is just don't let yourself keep making excuses because that only is going to take you down the wrong path where you don't want to go, you don't want to feel like crab. So, eating healthy don't let that be an excuse, you know don't make up all these reasons why you can't eat healthy because chances are if you just put a little thought into it and take a little actual time you can really do whatever you need to do to take care of your health.
