Think of time differently
Time. Everybody wants more of it. And the effort to save time is a top-stated reason Americans give for eating fast food. The United States Department of Agriculture released a study showing that fast food consumers spend more time traveling from place to place than those who don’t eat fast food. Translation: they’re in a hurry. But here is the thing: you want to save time so you can A) be more productive and B) carve out more time to enjoy life. Ultimately, eating fast food decreases your chances of doing either of those, as Augusta Health estimates that regular consumers of fast food have a life expectancy that is 10 years shorter than non-consumers of fast food. So think about that every time you want to hit the drive-thru. Do you want to save ten minutes now, or keep years later?
