Fast food isn't that bad, or fast either?!


Question: Yeah,

They say fast food will make you fat and that it's very unhealthy but I don't know. You see I'm in really good shape, I work out, and I eat fast food quite often. Cheap and quick, I don't have time to sit there and prepare gourmet meals like these nutritionists always suggest. I feel good and to be honest, a whopper from Burger King is probably a lot healthier than a bowl of EasyMac is you think about it. EasyMac is all carbs but at least a whopper has protein (used to build muscle). So why is fast food so unhealthy? Is it the fries? Cause I don't usually get the fries, but those seem to be the least healthy item on the menu considering it's pure carbs. So yeah, I look good, and I eat fast food. I can't see anything wrong with me, so why is it so unhealthy? Your body needs a certain amount of nutrients everyday (found in fast food). So if you don't over indulge, what's the big freakin deal?

it's most due to the saturated fats that come from the oil they used to cook with. i also think they are referring mostly to the french fries.

i eat fast food on occasion but only from certain places like taco bell, subway, or arby's. i never eat fries.

well if your in shape you just have to make sure your ateries wont clog up and that you wont have a heart attack,, or food poisning

eh...i eat it anyways...MCDONALDS HERE I COME

It's all the extra crap in it that causes the problems. When you eat a McDonald's burger, you're not tasting the burger. It's so processed that they have to put artificial hamburger flavor in it (Made in New Jersey, I believe) to make it taste like anything.

Watch these

Yuck. In general fast food is gross. You may be in shape now but you must be young. It truly does eventually take its toll on your body. I lost 50lbs buy cutting out fast food and soda. It did take me a year 1/2 to do it but really fast food sucks. Unless you choose good things from the menu. Beliveve me it will catch up to you unless you are carefull. Try learning how to manage what and how much you eat. Thats what I did and I lost almost 50 lbs. Salad. smaller bites. Its all really good once you are the one thats in controll. Good Luck and Happy eating responsibly.
