Breakfast

6:30 AM, on the way to work.

I have two comments about this photo. First, I don't often eat breakfast from McDonald's - too much sodium, too much fat, too many calories. That said, about once a month or so, we have a Saturday morning event where I have to work. So, as a reward for getting up so early on a weekend, I generally pick up a Steak, Egg, and Cheese Bagel on the way. However, it counts as breakfast AND lunch that day.

Second, while it is certainly patriotic of McDonald's to fly the American flag, I think that's also a little bit telling, and not in a good way. Unfortunately, the United States has become identified with unhealthy, overly-processed fast food. That's why so many of us, myself definitely included, constantly struggle to maintain a healthy weight.

As I did in October, in November I'm doing a photo-a-day challenge with specific themes for each day. Here's the calendar with the theme for each day.
