Good vs. Evil



My dilemma is a lot like this city.  There are a ton of health food stores and veggie restaurants.  There also seem to be a lot of greasy BBQ and taco places.  It's a strange mix and I'm so confused.   

Oh the temptation of fast food.  There are new and exciting chains here that I have never eaten at.  Having only one friend here (and a vegetarian at that) makes going out to restaurants difficult.  I don't really like going by myself, but the high school student at the fast food drive up window does not judge me.  Walking to work in the morning I am assaulted by "breakfast taco" smells (really, what the heck is a breakfast taco??) and on the way home I get a meaty BBQ waft.  It's very tempting.  

Of course I want to be healthy.  I have been having salad with dinner (or as dinner) every night this week.  I would rather eat organic foods, and maybe I will even try some tofu in my next stir-fry, but it's so expensive.  What I have to do is strike a happy medium.  Salad for dinner and maybe some Jack in the Box as a treat on the weekend.  That evens out, right?
