Just cause you don’t eat at fast foods don’t mean you’re eating healthy, especially if you eat out a lot? :icon_wink:

So true! Even sugar is added to seemingly healthy dishes to make them even better tasting

But I’m guessing since most here are in their 70s, 80s, and 90s does it really matter what is consumed now, for a healthy aspect.
I wouldn’t think fast food, sodium, sugar, additives and preservatives, could affect your health this late in life by what you eat.

That's nice of you to think of us older people.

I don't think anyone eats out all of the time. You need to try their chili. I remember when they opened their first restaurant blocks from the capital building in Columbus, Ohio. It was a treat once in awhile then, and it is a treat once in awhile now.

What!!! No votes for white castle???

Never used the word Older.. I posted many in TV are in their 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Worked 3 weeks in June in a hospital that closed its cafeteria and Wendy’s was one of 3 spots open. I don’t like chocolate, so frosty is out. If I eat beef its rare, I make chicken chili, but never beef. It’s about processed food, and sugar that I just wasn’t raised with, that raises havoc.

Even when I drive down 18 hours straight, I pack all food, snacks and water.

Our kids don’t eat fast food, and our grands are vegetarian, so fast food is a NO. Hard to change upbringing for generations

Looking forward to Wendy's hoping they stick to their normal format, haven't been back to MD since they remodel

I so agree with many things in this post. I love it when you mention that you still can vegetables. I grew up with a small room under the front porch where home canned vegetables were stored and the BEST relishes too.

And other things from my childhood stuck too, I still am careful and try to repurpose and reuse when I can.

One of the things I love about living here is that there ARE so many people to listen and learn from.

We had our three here at the table too, and thanks to God and modern technology, we too could see the family who now live in Manhattan and London and rural Ohio.

I hope someday I can meet you in person.

Hooters would’ve been a fine choice as well.

Too much flavoring in the restaurant, if you know what I mean:duck:

Wendy’s is going to be nice so close. But my absolute dream would be to have a Dairy Queen right there. I hate driving down to Leesburg for a Dairy Queen!

To my understanding, Dairy Queen plans to build right by 301 near Shell or K Circle gas station. Hope it will build sooner!

Do you mean southwest corner of Rainey Trail & US 301?
