I'm all for a family outing to the ballpark. And, with rising prices of gas, food, and just about everything, we'd all like to save some money, while enjoying leisure activities. I've been hearing a lot about the "all you can eat" sections at baseball parks across the nation. For a few added dollars to the price of a seat, you can have unlimited access to some standard ball park favorites. Now, I'm all for some treats at the ballpark, but is this perceived "value eating" really a good idea?
In Pittsburgh, three cheers for adding green salads to the options available. Otherwise, there's much of what you'd expect - hotdogs, cracker jacks, popcorn, peanuts - and in some cases even beer!
Here's where I have a big problem with this concept: It's really hard for most of us to turn down "free food". It's the same problem many of us have at all-you-can-eat buffets....no control and unlimited eating.
My advice? If you do well at buffets, and can limit your consumption and maintain control, by all means, get those free eats with the price of a ticket. Know yourself....if this is a disaster waiting to happen in the food intake department, then sit somewhere else. While the food may be free, you'll be "paying" for it in extra pounds. You do have a choice!
Am I "off base"? What do you think?

看球，出去吃？现场吃？
我完全赞同全家一起出去球场游玩。如今油价物价狂涨，我们都希望在享受奢侈赛事的同时能节省一些钱。我已经听说了很多关于在全国棒球场内“你可以吃任何东西”的传闻。只要在买座位票时再额外加上些许钱就你就可以拥有到中意的球场标准餐厅里的无限权利。现今对于球场的的一些活动条款，我完全赞同，但是这种价值餐的观念真的是一个好主意吗？
在匹兹堡，三次喝彩就能获得额外的绿沙拉可供选择。此外这里还有很多你所期待的食物如热狗啊饼干啊爆米花啊花生啊，在一些地方还会有啤酒供应。
在这我有个问题，对于我们大多数人来说真的很难拒绝免费食物吗？同样的问题也存在于许多“什么都能吃”的反抗中--无控制的无限的食物。
我的建议是什么呢？如果你在这场反抗的斗争中做得好的话，你能够限制你的消费并且要保持控制，要尽一切办法只在付票价的情况下得到那些免费食物。如果你觉得在食物领取的地方等待是一种灾难，那么你可以到别的地方等。或者食物是免费的，或者要付钱，你得做个决定。
我大错特错了吗？你觉得呢？
