The case against eating unhealthy

Why will someone prefer to eat fast food instead of slowly prepared food? Because, as the name said, 'fast food' is ready at any time to affect your stomach. You pay 2$ or maximum $5 and you have a well portioned slice of poison as a meal. 

The serious part of this life threatening joke is most often, with a busy schedule to cope with every day, a noisy family and a lot of chores to be done, the time for preparing the food, or even more, for acquiring the skills for preparing the food is considerably limited. 

The fast food industry should not be blamed and hated, as it answers certain needs that appeared in the society following the development of the industry and the increased degree of complexity of our lives. Compared with a decade ago, more salads and healthy alternatives entered the menus of the big chains and the consumers are more responsible when it comes to the choice of their daily food. 

At the same time, we may realize that by making a salad in the morning, instead of dreaming about a cheeseburger breakfast, is not so difficult and not even so expensive. In ten minutes, your healthy portion is ready. While preparing the salad one may get the calm and quietness needed for preparing for the hectic day ahead or for thinking what program you will do with your kids. 

As for special skills? Unless you pay enough attention to do not hurt your fingers while mincing the tomatoes, no building blocks will stop you having a delicious meal. Thanks to the Internet, you can easily find a lot of easy tutorials about almost everything - including about how to cut an avocado (a problem I faced when I was at the beginning of my cooking life) or the pineapple and many other strange yet easy situations you will go through. 

As for me, I realized early in the morning today that I don't have any bread left - Pesach preparations on the way, when no leavened products are allowed. Checked what it is left and found some barley. Prepared it in a couple of minutes, plus added: cherry tomatoes, cheese, a boiled eggs, olive oil and parsley and in 10 minutes I was done. While preparing I thought about writing this post and thus, I kept the track with my professional life as well.

Happy healthy day everyone!
