Personal Narrative: Why I Hate Fast Food

Improved Essays
I hate fast food places! I have a very sensitive stomach and if I eat too much of some things then I get very sick. At fast food restaurants, all I order is a small burger and a drink. I absolutely hate McDonald's though! We always go there since I have 4 brothers and my mom just wants to let them off their leash.

It causes stomach pain, weight loss, always tired, and you have to go on a gluten-free diet. My whole family has this, but my 6-year-old brother, Oliver, is the only one that has it active. Since mine is not active, I don't have to go on a gluten-free diet. If it does become active I will have to go on a gluten-free diet for the rest of my life. I am very nervous since my mom thinks that it might be active for me soon. If it does become active, then I won't be able to have foods like pizza, a burger, or chicken nuggets for the rest of my life! If I start having any of the symptoms above, then I have to start on a gluten-free diet. My parents will also have to get me a medication so my stomach will devour the food

    As a kid, I loved to eat at fast food places; my favorite places were McDonald's, Wendy’s, Burger King.

    I come from a poor family. I never had brand-name shoes or video games, or even a Lisa Frank binder and stickers like my friends at school, but I always had plenty of food in the fridge at home. My family never went hungry in spite of the fact that we were raised by a single mother who made her living as a coffee shop waitress. I did not know, till I was a teenager, that my mom bought the majority of our groceries with food stamps. It never seemed odd to me that she went to the grocery store one time a month and stocked up on milk, sugar, lunchmeat, chicken legs, hamburger meat, and most importantly, coffee.…

One of the biggest problems with fast food is that it is advertised almost everywhere and due to the mass advertisements of the fast food markets, it tempts customers to buy the food based on cheap and inexpensive deals that will get you a lot of food. The number one biggest problem with fast food however, is that it is unhealthy for you. My family could eat much healthier than we do, but we always end up buying into the temptations of Chipotle or Subway.…

    Growing up in an environment that mostly eats meals at home, I was hardly introduced to restaurants. As a result, of mostly eating meals at home, restaurants never really satisfied my taste buds, due to the fact that my mom’s home cooked meals are twice as delicious. Moreover, it was later on in life when I started eating at restaurants, in which have given me a lot of wonderful memories I will never forget. Despite, not eating out a lot when I was younger it has become part of my life style ever since I have started working and attending college. With this in mind, Cheba Hut, Denny’s, and Pizza Mia will always be 3 of my favorite places to stuff my face with no regrets.…
