AVOIDING "THE FAST FOOD EFFECT" BY BONNIE HUBERT ED.D “I want the nuggets combo and an extra chicken sandwich!” a 10-year-old yells from the back seat. “Are you sure you can eat all that?” his mom asks. “Yes! I’m starving!” Mom orders it and he begins devouring the combo. Later a question rings out in his sing-song voice: “Hey Mooomm, I’m full...do youuuu want the sandwich?” Guess what? This scenario doesn’t only apply to eating food! It relates perfectly to how much we have (or want) to do in our lives each day and believing we can and will get it all done. In honor of all the moms out there with hungry kids in fast food lines, we’ll call this the “Fast Food Effect.” WOMANBEEWELL
