"Women who splurged on french fries just once a week are 21% more likely to get diabetes than those who ate none.......actually eating five servings per week of any white potatoes-including mashed and bakes-raised the risk by 14% over those who ate less than half a serving per week." Prevention Aug 06.
I'm as guilty as the next girl at speeding through the drive through and grabbing the quick and convenient value meal! But how eye-opening can all this info be....especially when we had our moving sale before we came to OH and when cleaning out Emma's toys found BUCKETS of Happy Meal toys!!! THAT, my friends, made me realize that we WERE actually the statistic of the once-a-weeker-fast food stop person. Keep track ladies...put a paper in your car...see where you are on the greasy fast food list...how often and how much?
The Phipps' family is shaking this train up! When traveling we now look for Panara Bread or McCalasters....yum! But when McDonald's falls in the must have line, try a salad - they are good!....or a wrap....and apple slices...and don't forget the water!!!!!!!!!!
If it doesn't hit home for our health, lets think of our kiddos....they've got a lot of years ahead of them....give 'em apples. :)
