Could you go without take-out food or fast food for a week?

Many people now depend on fast food or take out food. Are you one of these people? How many times a week do you have it and what do you all eat?

I live in the countryside and there are no fastfood restaurants close to where I live, so I only eat fastfood when I am in a nearby town. I have to go into town twice a month, so I usually eat fastfood once or maybe twice a month. When I was living in the big town there were many fastfood restaurants in my neighbourhood, and it was very easy (too easy?) to go and buy some fastfood, if we didn't feel like cooking. I guess it is good for my health and my wallet that I live in the countryside now

I could go with out it for a week. In fact I have gone without it for a week. Now, I believe that the reason most or some of us rely on it is because its a convience thing. Some people have a such a hectic life style, that they dont take the time to cook, or think that they dont have time. I think that maybe here on MyLot we could start a movement. Lets say March 20th is no fast food day. We have enough members where if we all sent out a notice to all our friends, that on March 20th, we just cook at home, and do not eat out or any fast food. This could work. It wouldn't be good for the resturaunts, but hey it would be a healthy idea. What do you all think of that?

i very seldom have fast food or take out. i go for weeks & not have it. i like to cook so i cook all the time just for myself. it's quite expensive to eat out all the time. it's expensive to eat at home to. lol.

Maybe once a week I either call for take out or go for fast food but I don't have to have it. It is just for convience

not a week goes by that my family doesn't buy take-out food. there's something about the tried and tested taste of those fast food products that makes you want to eat them again and again.

I hardly ever eat fast food, it's probably been six months. But I couldn't last a week without chocolate or cheddar cheese. Still junk food, just not takeout!
