Friday's are always the busiest days for the buffet. Everyone loves the crab legs. But I've always noticed the different styles people come up with in experimenting with the food. On the side of the crab the first thing you notice is a jumbo bowls of heated melted butter. Over the course of my dinner I noticed that when you let the butter sit, you realize the amounts of fats that are absorbed. It's quite frightening to know that these kinds of fats are in the food we eat, even when we think it's healthy.
I also came upon the salad bar. The first thing you think of when you hear about salad is healthy. But actually most salads also contain high calories similar to the food we eat. At this bar there's cheese, the different dressings, croutons, and different toppings such as nuts, fruits, and veggies. When people put together their salad they drown the lettuce in dressing and add double the cheese that a normal salad would have! Mine as well make it a nacho grande!
The fact is people think they're eating healthy, but they don't pay attention of the additives that take away the nature of the food. This is a good example of why fast food doesn't seem as harmful in people's eyes. It seems that our society just doesn't want to face the food reality.
