...Gilliams are not the only family stuck in a fast-food rut. For even the most well-intentioned working parents, having the will to eat right doesn't necessarily mean being able to find a way to do so. Everyday life--in the form of work, school and other activities--always seems to get in the way.

As you age, you lose things like teeth and the ability to play in the ball pit at fast-food restaurants, and you gain things like experience and employer-based health insurance. Maybe what has kept our generation so enmeshed in technology is the fact that most of us lack actual lives. All that time that we spend tweeting our thoughts and emotions to our next of kin, we could be writing the great American novel, starting a business, or just living. Maybe...
