It takes about three minutes to get through your favorite fast food line– and experts say only a extra few seconds will turn your quick meal into a healthy delight.

It’s National Fast Food Day! …And Athens resident LaKeisha Fleming is sticking to her fresh, green diet by ordering a large side salad for lunch.

Athens Bone and Joint Physician Assistant-C Natalie Moseley says it’s really all about balance:

“A lot of times it’s completely about choosing the things you really love and then trying to add some things into the diet that will get you the nutrients you need.”

With Georgia ranking #18 in the country for adult obesity rates, we want to remind you to find your own balance as you celebrate #NationalFastFoodDay. …Oh, and a few crackers on a side salad won’t hurt at all.
