Have you noticed the lines at Costco?

Have you noticed the lines at Costco?

I'm not talking about the lines of people checking out, those move pretty fast don't you think?

I'm talking about the lines at the Costco fast food joint. Wow I can't believe it every time I am there the line is HUGE! And people just stand there and wait patiently and the line BARELY MOVES!!

So I noticed the line today, like every other time I am there at Costco. School is out right now so there was quite a variety of people standing there.

I looked at the menu (As I had never looked before or even been tempted to belly up and get something). Let's see. Hot dogs (the real fat sausagy kind), pizza, bread sticks, Iced Latte, Pop. Actually I did not see one thing on that menu that any one of those people needed to be eating.

Talk about Health Care!! Every single person save just a few could stand to loose any where from 30 to 150 pounds. The people are sitting at the little tables just pigging out on this greasy, disgusting, non healthy SLOP!!

I am sure that on any one of those plates there was enough fat content to last a person a week and days quota of calories.

If people would just learn to take care of them self, cut down on fat, lower their daily calorie count and get some exercise then this country wouldn't be in such rotten shape!

Now the Economy is in the toilet (keeping it clean here) and Mc Donalds is reporting huge profits. Families have less money but they still want to eat out and fast food is affordable.

Right on that food establishments such as these are being forced to list the contents of their food. Healthier choices have already cropped up Mc Donalds and it's competitors menus.

What I saw today needs to be brought to the surface. For crying out loud, there was enough samples inside that I wasn't even thinking that I needed to get something to eat or I wasn't going to make it home. =)

Just think before you get into that line next time, think about you and your body.
