How much fast food do you eat? I think we get fast food at least once or twice a week, if not more. These days it seems like fast food is cheaper than grocery shopping, though definitely not as healthy.

Absolutely not as healthy. Yes it is convenient, but do limit the number of times you eat fast food. Actually, most of the ff places now are offering a more healthy fare. Salads for one, and fruit instead of fries. Options.

Funny thing about people is that they love the idea of healthy food but they don't actually like eating it.

If a fast food place starts offering healthy options, people feel more comfortable going in and ordering the same unhealthy options.

Well, what goes better with a burger? Fries or a salad? There must be a conscience effort on the patron's part to order healthy. I think most FF restaurants put the healthy stuff on the menu jut to satisfy the health nuts out there.

I don't eat fast food very often anymore, and I think I have done the right thing. Yes fast food is fast to serve and fast to eat, but it will also send you to the funeral home fast.

Most studies into fast food show it isn't actually as bad as is made out. The main issue with it is portion sizes and the drinks, which are basically just big cups of sugar and E numbers. A Big Mac is nothing but meat and bread, fries are just potato strips cooked in vegtable oil. A Mega Mac and a super size fries however is a big ass meal. Shove the super size coke in, and you're over half your recommended calories for the day easy. That's the problem with fast food, people get these oversized portions, stuff their faces, and probably still have 2 other full meals in the day, or just eat fast food exclusivly. You do either of those things with any food, you're going to give yourself problems. Nothing wrong with what the burger joints are selling, it's the way people choose to consume it that harms them.

This is me. Whenever I walk into a McDonald's, I know I am there for unhealthy food, not a salad.

The other problem, besides a million calories, is that the food digests quickly and before you know it, you are hungry again.

I think it would depend on who conducts the studies. Studies sponsored by fast food manufacturers would most possibly reveal the "facts" in favor of the manufacturers' interests.
