Most people eat a lot of fast food everyday and they do not know the harm of it. Fast food contains high calories, sodium, and fat but it lacks the very important vitamins and minerals you need. Now fast food restaurants are trying to make your fast food choices better. They try adding low fattening and nutritious food to the menu. But still it is up to you to decide what you what to eat. You can choose to eat healthier or do you rather just want to eat a lot of fat and high calories.
Ways to eat healthier fast food
Order food to go - Studies show that people tend to eat more food when they are not home. When you take fast food, home you would have the option of providing a healthier side dish such as fruit or vegetables.
Avoid buffets –all you can eat can make people over eat the amount that they don’t want to eat because of the temptation to eat
Stick to the light menu / Make careful menu selections – most restaurants now have healthier menus so ordering food that has been baked, broiled, roasted, poached or steamed will be healthier than anything fried. Salads with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and lighter dressings will be better than salads with croutons, cheeses, meats and heavy dressings
Don't be afraid to special order - Most restaurants that you go to may have plenty of healthier choices for you but they would use a lot of sauces. But you can ask for vegetables and dishes to be served without sauces. Ask for ways to make your food healthier
Watch portion size–usually at fast food restaurants eating one meal has enough calories for two meals. So it is important to watch what you order and eat. So if it’s possible you should order smaller portions of food or if you can’t try to separate the meal so that you can eat the food in at a later time.
Share- share the food with your friends so you can at least eat the things that you really want to eat while you can avoid the over eating. If you share the portion size you eat is smaller.
Order sauce and dressing on the side- you can control the amount of sauce you use and it can still taste the same
Remember the big picture- think about what you are going to eat first before ordering the meals, so you don’t have to forget about the amount of calories you eat in the fast food restaurants. You don’t have to rush to order and that you have already decided to eat a healthier fast food.

You should write about the diets of an average shinigami.
Show us what the people in soul society eat and whether they are considered fast food or regular meals shinigami eat.
Also consider whether the food helps them with their shinigami powers. Maybe increase their bankai abilities by ten-fold. Or just be cool like ICHIGO.
Who knows I look foward into reading more of your blog about shinigamis and fastfood.
