Fast Foods

As everyone knows, the fast food industry in the world has expanded vastly over the past 10 years. In almost every urban part of the United States and Other Developed countries you will most likely find some sort of fast food venue. For three years i have given up fast foods not eating any meat product served there. Most people are blinded by all the fancy advertising and great deals that places like McDonalds offers, not knowing what they are exactly eating. Each time i drive by one of these venue's i always think to myself "those people don't know what they are eating". Anyways i'll cut to the chase, if you guys don't know the so called "100"% beef or white meat is not 100% true. Most places like McDonalds claim to have "more healthy foods" which may be true, but only if you order them like apples ect.. but that doesn't count for the burgers and fries which are PACKED with calories and salt, which is not healthy at all. Did you guys know that McDonalds is the largest buyer of lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, Potatoes in the world? Did you know that a burger you buy from McDonalds is about 20%-30% real meat and the rest is an artificial filler. Why do you think burgers are so cheep. Did you know that the meat in those burgers are from animals injected with steroids and hormones to make them grow 3x as fast as they do naturally? There is such a long list of issues, but i am just pointing on the major ones. I am not trying to stray people away from eating McDonalds, i was just there last night with friends but i didn't eat anything but a few fries. I just want to inform people about what they are eating so they can possibly make healthier choices. What are your guys view points on fast foods or even meats in general.

If you want more information about our foods and fast foods i HIGHLY suggest you watch this video on (its embeded with a youtube video) "http://www.meat.org/"

And to watch a movie called "Food inc" which really revealed the governments secrets about our meats to the public. http://www.foodincmovie.com/

 

The only time I eat fast food is when I'm on the road and can't stop for a sit down meal or need something fast.

Yeah fast food is bad for you but its convenient.

 

Health is relative. Simply consuming large amounts of calories and salt cannot be said to absolutely be unhealthy.

Is this supposed to be a bad thing?

That doesn't make them unhealthy, only low-quality.

Hence their cheapness.

The fast-food buisness model revolves around the cheap selling of a mass-produced low-quality product. That being said, the occasional consumption of such food is perfectly alright, and groups such a PETA (whose recent actions have included suing Sea World for enslaving whales) are not authorities on health and cannot be trusted to deliver accurate information to people given their preconceived political agenda.

 

I myself refuse to eat fast food. It is disgusting and If I do happen to eat it because of something like nothing else to eat/the munchies I always regret it after.

 

well I know it's not the healthiest, but I like the taste and don't have time to always make food. When I'm drinking, I'll drive over to like 3 different fast food places and eat them all at once. Spend like $30. It's so intense.
