Many people thinks fast food is delicious, but does it really supply our daily needs?
my answer is NO! the only thing fast food supply is saturated fat, the worst kind of fat. Think of McDonalds and Burger King, you ever sew their nutrition chart posted near their bathroom doors? Ever bothered to look at it? One BIG MAC or WHOPPER is around 1000 calories and more, along with French fries, and soda.
Fast food joints makes salads, but are they really the type you'd want to go with? probably not, McDonalds salad has around 700 calories. Sounds happy?
Does fast food provide anything more than Fat? yes, but there's very few of it in every meal. Every meat you eat in McDonalds is grinded meat with bones still in it. When they fry it, it kills most of the healthy proteins, while adding unhealthy substances and chemicals into the meat.
Them Fast food join's are also pushing kids into their fat wonderland, whats known as the "Happy Meals" might turn out to be "Unhappy Meals" later on in the kids life. I saw in this documentary (Supersize Me) that if fat adults keeps eating Fast food and getting fatter their kids can be born with diabetes, and if not, there's a high chance that the kid will develop diabetes later on in their life if they eat like their parents do.
What your opinion on fast food?

I don't eat it myself, but I don't think it should be banned or anything.
I don't eat a lot of fast food, every now and then I'll have a burger and a water with my friends. I eat healthy, diabetes makes me eat right =]

I rarely eat fast food but I don't think that the fast fod chains should be completely shut down...
I just believe that what goes into the food should be regulated to reduce the weight issue :yucky:

Its up to the parents to educate their kids i feel. The fastfood, are somewhat trying to help fix it i guess. But yeh, i dont think it should get banned. I lov emy quarter pounders, and i ain't overweight or anything. Just counter it with some home fresh salads or whatever. Everything in moderation should do it.
If i had kids, i would probably warn em, and tell them this stuff. But most of us know, its soemtimes because its easy, quick and satisfying, i guess.
The schoools can help by showing images of what you could end up being. heheh, education, thats what its mainly about.
But, its not always about what you eat. Its also the amount of outdoor/active activities you do. So we can't really always blame the food. Average person needs about 8000 calories a day if i am correct, please correct me if i'm wrong. And a bit of fat is good for your brain and well being i guess. Its stuff like trans fat and saturated that gets you.

i never eat 8000 calories a day! Thats insane, but i never said it should be banned.
I eat around 2500 per day. But Fast food should be controlled.

It's gone before you noticed.
That's how fast it is.
8000 is too much.
3000 is around normal for a man/boy/guy/thing.

Don't blame the fast food chains for producing unhealthy food, please. You as the consumer has the power to NOT eat the food if you wish, and it is a personal choice about how YOU want to live your life.
They should be shut down however, for the way they treat animals etc. but that's a different discussion.

I agree with chris.. We shouldn't expect the world to make it perfect for us. If you want it right, make it right for yourself. I';m sure all adults know why fastfood is unhealthy. So if you eat and gain that weight, its urself to blame.
Self restraint?? And its not always about what you eat, but how much you eat.

Why would you start shitting around about, how bad fast food is.
When the only person you can blaim, is yourself, for not controlling yourself with you eating behaviour?

it satisfies our taste buds for the moment, but it isn't good in the long run.

Its ok to eat fast food but it all depends how much and do you do any sports or anything that would burn all that fat.

Fast Food is not bad on itself, the people who eat the food all day long are bad. i don't eat it a lot, once in a while i'll eat some fries and a burger or so. the children who eat Fast Food aren't to blame most of the time, because their parents have raised them up with Fast Food. they aren't used to anything else. that's the reason why most of the fat children eat a lot of that food and they don't know better.

Like what people have said, fast food really is delicious, but shouldn't be taken often, it should be one of those once a month or once a week thing, or to celebrate a special occasion. It really is fattening but could be useful for someone actively working out, since fat provides more energy than carbohydrates or protein =)
The smell, The taste and the look of it is all satisfying,
In a nutshell if we keep eating it then we will become unhealthy however fast food is just addictive.

I don't eat fast food all the time I eat it like once every two weeks or so,I also think that it should be banned or shut down.No one is forcing people to buy,they do it on their own.

Fast food is just convenient when you don't want to cook or don't have time to make anything. It's as the name implies, fast. Not delicious or good for you.
