If you want to maintain a healthier body and a good marriage then do not eat fast food. Yes, that is right – I’m sure you’ll comprehend what I mean shortly when I state that fast food addiction raises your chance of needing divorce lawyers.
For a start, fast food is usually loaded with fat and sugar. That really helps you to load on the pounds and look attractive. Not.
As your arteries clog up with fat your whole system begins to go down hill, but that’s certainly not the only destroyer.
Consider the tension it leads to on your wallet. The average fast food meal costs roughly $7. Now if you are in the practice of upsizing it will probably cost you $7.60 – yes, twice the fat for 10% added cost. Now that is value!
For any household of perhaps, two grown ups and 3 children, that’s a meal expense of $35. Add to that another $5 for vehicle costs to get to the fast food store and back and that is an overall total meal cost of over $40.
What’s the alternative? How about buying some nutritious ingredients while you’re at the supermarket. A pack of low fat meat, vegetables and maybe some rice. It only needs to cost you ten to fifteen dollars to feed two adults and a few children, and maybe 30-45 minutes to cook it up.
Sure it’s not as convenient, but if you look at the trade off it makes good sense.
Firstly, you’re saving $25 or more on a meal. For a fast food addict, that could be $100 or more a week, or $5000 a year! And that’s not to mention you’re saving your health at the same time.
The pressure of financial stress is a big contributor to divorce, and as you can see, living with a fast food addiction will contribute significantly to that stress. Can you imagine instead investing $5000 per year into your marriage and family?
How about taking a $5000 pay cut in exchange for more holiday time so you can spend real time with each other and not be strangers under the same roof?
What else could a person do with another $5000 per year? Settle the home loan a lot more quickly? Take your husband or wife out to some fine restaurant every fortnight and paying a babysitter so that you are able to have some ‘together’ time?
So now I’m sure you’ll understand. If you want a great marriage and want to keep the divorce lawyers away, keep away from fast food. It will be much better for your body, your wallet and your marriage.
