Wellness: Food for Thought
Excerpt from Cottage Magazine, Annual Report Issue, 2009/10
Fast food is a popular option for those with busy lifestyles. Ordering a quarter-pound cheeseburger with mayonnaise and ketchup would equal a walk from the dolphin fountain to the Magnolia Shopping Center to burn those 670 calories. A medium order of French fries would add another 440 calories and extend the walk up State Street on to Hollister Avenue to Girsh Park behind Costco. By adding a large soda and its 390 calories, the walk would continue up Hollister Avenue to Calle Real all the way to where the road ends. A total of a 15 ½ mile walk would be needed to burn off this lunch.
