| There's also all the sodium, caffeine, and lack of vitamins and minerals. That documentary was scary. |

| It's also not whole food. Everything is processed. Also, if you look at how many calories are in hamburger alone, it is scary. I looked at some 4 oz. frozen patties tonight and they are 380 calories each! Add in a small bun, around 110 calories, one peice of proccessed cheese at 60 calories, one tablespoon of mayo at 100 calories and you have 650 calories for one small burger. Add bacon or anything and it goes up. I have also heard a ton about proccessed foods causing inflamation in your body. If your cells are inflamed, you will look heavier. You will also not digest the food as well. |

| I dont think it has something to do with the oil. Its by how much you eat it or the intake of fast food quantity. that guy in supersize me got sick and fat because that's what he only eats. if he ate mcdonalds daily but with veggies on the side, i dont think he would get sick that much. |

Why does it have to be so good |
|
|
Well i think someone said it, i dont think we were meant to eat the whole meal in one sitting, the portions are way to big. When we biggest size this and that and get a double this and that is it just more calories. They have healthy choice but i dont go to fast food resturants for a salad i could make at home. It is good i admit, i stay away from fast food, i treat my daughter once a week and that it. I was shocked to find out my starbucks drink had as many calories as meal at those resturants, man i was drinkng my lunch and still having lunch along side it. It is so good did i mention that lol
take care

fast food is full of artificial chemicals that blocks the mechanism that tells you that you are full and causes you to keep craving that type of food.
It is full of transfats- these cause your cell membranes to become hard and rigid instead of fluid which means that your body starts to age faster and gets diseases
It has an unbelieveable amount of carbs/fats/protein that is unnatural and your body has no choice but to store as fat.
The fat clogs your arteries
The meat is hormone ridden and full of antibiotics that you ingest and this affects your body in a negative way
It makes you depressed
It messes with your brain chemicals

Based on the reading I've been doing lately - I'll second this opinion. Processed food is really much worse for our bodies than I knew. If you go with unprocessed food you have to actually digest your whole body feels better. |

| I think it has to do with the fact that fast food is so processed. By the time it gets to the consumer's mouth, it hardly resembles the food it started out as. It also has a lot to do with the preservatives that are put into fast food. Our bodies just don't know what to do with these chemicals. Also, the amount of salt that's in fast food is absolutely rediculous. That alone can make you so bloated. Plus, it's LOADED with fat. Let's face it, fat taste good, so the more fat they put in it, the more we will want it. |

| All that high fructose corn syrup! I understand that your liver can only convert 30 grams of fructose into to glucose, then after that, the remaining amounts you take in get converted to triglycerides... Anyone know much about that? |

Hi dude,
When it all comes down to it fast food is fast food. Would it be fair to answer this question is widely known to be less healthy than fresh food. Actually fast food includes greasy burgers, oil dripping French fries, saturated and trans fat central not to mention sugar filled sodas.So better to avoid these types of food items to keep the health good.

Looking forward to hear your opinions!
Thanx. |
