What Exactly Does Eating Healthy Mean Anyway?

So I'm sitting here in my room trying to think of a new post to write about, and it finally dons on me. I should be writing about how the corporations and the "health centers" of America and around the global world try to get us to eat healthy. It would be nice to go to a restaurant, and order a nice Salad for lunch or dinner and that will be the solution to not feeling guilty by eating something majorly happening. Well news flash, salads are evil! Did you know that salads nowadays are filled with empty calories and oozing with as much fat as a quarter pounder at McDonald's? I didn't believe it myself until I read an article and since I'm a stickler for looking at nutrition facts on everything I consume and put into my body, I was floored when I read the nutrition facts for a simple house salad at a restaurant and saw the fat content in it, I pretty much wanted to gag right there on the table. They think we're pawns in their game of life. They say that the United States is the heaviest country on the planet and how the Obese epidemic keeps growing and growing. Well I have news for you, it's not because of us anymore. Don't get me wrong, we are in control of the fast food places we walk into and what food we order and we're responsible for how our bellies grow and all that, but when we order a salad or anything in general that is the color green, we are expecting it to be healthy and we don't necessarily think to check the nutrition facts of a simple salad. Even though it is the dressing that is the culprit, it still doesn't take away from the fact that we expected it to be healthier than a drippy burger. You can put the dressing on the side but then again, who really can stand eating all the greens by itself? Not me I can tell you that much, and I also can tell you that I won't be ordering a salad ever again at a restaurant, not that I ever did in the past but now I won't for sure. I'll stick with simple greens and fat free sauces to go with them. The corporations and "health centers" can't fool me. They tried to pull a fast one but don't let it fool you. Just be smart and you'll win everytime.
