Dear World,
It doesn't take much nutritional knowledge to figure out that fast food is bad for you. You probably don't even need to watch Super Size Me to figure that out. And it takes only the smallest amount of math to figure out that it isn't even cost effective -- there's always cheaper options to make at home.
But sometimes... sometimes... you really really really want fast food. Because sometimes you're doing absolutely nothing but watching HGTV and Animal Planet all day, and that Wendy's commercial is just a brilliant piece of food film. And all you want to do is buy and completely remodel a home, or save dogs and ex-cons at the same time, but World, both of those things feel like they might be outside of your financial reach and skill base.
But Wendy's? I can do Wendy's. I can rock Wendy's.
Sometimes, forces align, and a low-quality burger can do enough good for your soul to off-set the damage to your health and wallet.
And when that day comes for you, World, don't make my mistakes. When the day comes that you tell your diet and financial acumen to back off for a minute, when your desire to eat garbage overcomes your daily lethargy, when you just cannot eat another bowl of spinach and beans no matter how soon your engagement pictures are... don't fumble at the one yard line.
This is your happiness here. You're doing this for the good of your mind and heart. Well, for your symbolic heart, even if not the actual organ.
Just....
Do not get the single patty. It can't hold up to that delicious pretzel bun. Go for the double. Do it for you.
Always and truly yours,
Cari
