How Fast Is Fast Food, Really? The Race Is On!
 
I couldn't help it. My neighbor was heading out on her almost daily trek to the McDonalds Drive-thru. I was about to start dinner. Who would win?

I seasoned the steaks and put them aside. I washed and poked the potatoes to "bake" in the microwave. Fire up the stovetop grill and throw on the steaks. Start the microwave for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile I made a salad - lettuce, tomato, onion, shredded carrot, and a little broccoli.

5 minutes is up. Turn the steaks. Turn the potatoes and set for another 5 minutes.

I also noticed that there was still some cantaloupe, so I cut up some of that too.

Dinner is done, and Diane is not back yet!

She typically has a McChicken and a large Coke. Because it's chicken she thinks it's healthier. And she thinks it's faster and easier. Hmmmmmm

A McChicken and a Large Coke is 730 calories. No Fries. Can you Imagine?

A 6 oz. filet, baked potato- with butter, tossed salad with dressing, and cantaloupe comes in at about 560 calories.

My dinner was hot and fresh in about 20 minutes.

She took 40 minutes to get back to eat cold food.

Her "dinner" cost about 5 bucks.

My dinner cost about 6 bucks per person (I only buy filets when they're on sale). OK, chicken breast would have been cheaper and healthier. Oh well. But, I didn't use any gas.

She had no dishes.

My dishes were minimal.

I'm a size 4.

She's a size 28 and growing.

Which fast food would your prefer?
