Are fast-food chains like Mcdonalds really that bad for your health


Are fast-food chains like Mcdonalds really that bad for your health?
When people ask me if i eat fast-food i usually respond with "yes, it's fast and convenient" then they go on to tell me how bad it is for your health. I'm not going to lie and say most people don't get fat off fast food, but I find that it is the same as any other meal (i just don't ever order fries or sodas). I have seen Super Size Me but that's not totally realistic because most people don't eat super portions. Does anyone else think fast food is detrimental to a healthy body?

I do but only if you eat a lot all the time and don't do anything about it if you don't you'll get fat the people who eat a lot and lounge around will get fat

well yes and no it depends on what you get if its like say the subway subs or salads then yes it would be healthier than if say you made spaghetti but usually it is bad for you because of the way they cook it and the things they put in it.

actually yes it is it has been proven that it is bad for you. you gain weight it can raise blood pressure and cholesterol which can lead to heart and health problems. I don't eat fast food alot like less than one a month, unless its pizza that could be as many as or less as once a month. anyways i started taking the mona vie because i have kidney disease...it is nothing but like 20 or 30 fruits blended together and it has reversed the amount of protein loss which leads to kidney failure and when i stop taking it the loss grows higher... i have seen this as well as my doctor in my blood and urine labs.. it is directly proven that what you eat directly affects your body...like when you eat a certain food that upsets your stomach or changes how much you go to the bathroom...you are what you eat...it sucks but the better you eat the better you feel

rent the dvd for "Super Size Me" and watch it. it will answer all your questions about fast food.

If you are eating it everyday then yes. You should only eat fast food in moderation. Try cooking at home more often. It can be a fun learning experience
