See the documentary Supersize Me. The health risk is in the high fat content. Fat is 9 calories/ gram vs. 4 for carbs and protien. More fat means more flavor and flavor sells. So you run the risk of chunking up and burdening your heart.
2 :
fat content of the burgers there (and the fries too). did you know burger king has a 2500 calorie breakfast sub?
3 :
They are just no good for you. Loaded with junk, that's what happen to your body.
4 :
Definately rent the video "Supersize Me" It will answer ALL your questions

In burger places, you could always order grilled chicken instead of fried chicken, like on salads or chicken sandwiches. Those chicken wraps, like at KFC and McDonalds, you can order grilled chicken there too. The wraps don't have that many calories (except for the sauce) but you can always tell them to leave the sauce. Healthy drinks like Sobi and waters can be found in sandwich shops like Subway or Quizno's. In N' Out don't use fatty oil to fry their frys. They use some kind, I forget though...And that's why they don't taste that great. Hope I helped. ~Just Keepin it reall :D
2 :
Food cooked in less fat, less sodium.....grilled chicken for example........serving sizes correct to portion sizes so people do not overeat....less fried foods, healthy choices...fruit and veggies for side choices.....no soda, water .... green tea,
3 :
Chili and a baked potato.
4 :
El Pollo Loco Subway Greek
5 :
The charity box up front near the cash register. Stick your coins in. Help out a needy USA citizen. WATER!!!!!
6 :
A rough and rugged man from Texas, who would roundhouse kick you in the mouth everytime you open it to eat this fast food junk. He would work based on commission, and get paid for every time he successfully roundhouse kicks the next obese person into better shape.
7 :
taco bell chicken soft taco, wendys chili (its on wieght watchers) subways turkey subs (no cheese or mayo)
8 :
I agree with the baked potato and chili. They are both low in fat. Also the fruit and yogurt parfait at mcdonalds is low in fat, but I heard that it has a lot of sugar. Stay away from hamburgers, sausage and bacon. Mcdonalds also offers just plain bagels, biscuits and mcmuffins, that you can put jelly or cream cheese on for a quick healthy breakfast.
9 :
I'm the mother of a four year old and I treat him to McDonalds every so often. Fortunately he likes the apples w/low fat caramel dip rather than the fries. I however I like the fries. Anyway...think kids meals. They are actually about the portion size that us adults "should" be eating. I usually go for a hamburger, small fries and a diet coke. It's not actually as bad as you may think. I also like the dollar menu's Big n' Tasty w/out mayo. Of course you can always go the grilled chicken route, but watch out for things like mayo, cheese and bacon. I like McD's snack wraps too. At Taco Bell I like thier fresco menu. Lovin' the new flatbread sammies at Quizno's, but watch out for some of them. Only two of them have 300 calories or less. Subway....a little over rated on the health aspect, but still there is good choices and it's not a salad. Little Ceasers $5 pizza actually isn't as bad for you as I would have thought. For lot's of other ideas check out the restaurant portion of www.dietfacts.com
