I will freely admit that I eat fast food and drink soda pop. I also indulge in burritos fairly often (Mucho Gusto is my favorite). I also love ice cream and chips. I’ve even read Fast Food Nation and watched Super Size me.

But, I am very active and healthy and know that an In-N-Out #3 with grilled onions is an indulgence. MMMM. Burger. Now, I must go indulge …

Oh, I don’t know if kids’ eating habits is really tied to the housing market. Plenty of stay-at-home moms let their kids eat crap too. It’s just a lot easier for them to hand over a lunchable and soda than to make a sandwich.
