Sitting in the parking lot the other day, waiting for Buster to come out of the store, I was watching these ladies eat in their truck. Stuffing their faces with burgers and fries, and gulping down huge drinks. It was actually quite disgusting. Mostly because I could see myself in them, that was me just a few short months ago. And the fact that they were eating it isn’t the disgusting part folks, the way they were eating is.
They were literally stuffing there faces. They weren’t trying to eat daintily or nicely, they weren’t trying to be lady-like, they were cramming food into their mouths like it was going to be their last meal. I actually gagged a couple times.
The sad part is that neither of these ladies were a healthy weight…in other words, they were both overweight. If I had to guess I would say both would be considered obese.
I would like to see these ladies, as well as everyone else, make healthier choices in their food consumption. I’d like it to be so that we would have no need for such extremes as weight-loss surgery and weight loss pills for women.
I’d like to see us all get back to eating whole foods, closer to the way God intended us to eat them. Fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats, a little low-fat dairy, beans, corn, popcorn …it’s a great way to eat and it’s so very healthy!
I think if you’re eating food in a car in a parking lot, that’s probably a bad sign!
