We all know that fast food is addictive even though we know that it may potentially harm our body. Most of us just don't care about its negative impact on our health, all we care about is eating what is delicious that's why there are many people who are obese and is struggling with their health conditions. There are two potential threats to a person eating fast food every single day, and that is Diabetes and Heart disease. In the US according to Mary Kekatos from Dailymail, half of all deaths due to heart disease and diabetes are caused by a poor diet, which consists of heavy intake of sodium and unprocessed meats.

Why do You think people still eat these foods everyday? What can You suggest them to do to quit this addiction to fast food? Are You one of those people who are always eating fast food?

LOLed at POTENTIALLY.

IT will kill you, eventually. With a fastfood diet, it's really just a matter of time. And no, don't believe that shit about Warren Buffet's supposedly shit diet. He probably just got shares in those joints and hyping them.

Since a long time ago people are saying this kind of stuff and people still eat at Fast Foods and they are a success on the world. There isn't any problem by eating at Fast Foods since you have a balanced life. If you eat only at Fast Foods everyday you will surely have health issues, the same will happen if people eat only "grass" everyday and those hipster fashion vegetarian/vegan diets.

Interesting people don't talk about the another side of the story. Anorexic people that eat only grass and smoke "grass" saying it's healthy and from times to times are at the hospital taking medicine and treatment because the fragile health conditions.  :D

The important is the equilibrium.

EVERY single bit of food we eat today is contaminated or poisonous in one way or another... think of OGM, E-stuff, pesticides, acid rain, etc.

So, although looking after one's shape and health is very important, I don't follow any of this psychosis about food A or food B being toxic and ready to kill me if I eat it.

I just try, to the best of my ability, to eat as healthy as I can.

These days many of us rely on what so called fast food , from the word fast means quickly and food means what we eat or our meal , and fast foods means quickly process food. That sometimes raw cooked , not well done and causing or resulting to a different sickness , or resulting to many diseases , these days many people rely on it because it somehow delicious , yet unhealthy people don't care about what they eat. And yes it can , it can potentially kills us , causing different diseases as I say , I suggest to all not just me but to all of us , as in all of us to become more careful , be aware on what we eat.

I love fast food, but I use it only as a treat. I even prefer it more than classy posh restaurants, just love the taste of the food, even if I know it is not healthy, but if you eat it from time to time it is no problem.

Yup I pretty much ROFLed at potentially it was quite the laugher. I mean that is common sense is it not? I never eat fast food and every time I do I feel so crappy afterwards now I literally avoid it like the plague. Change your taste buds and your diet will follow.

I think that the damage to fast food is exaggerated. Of course, you can not eat only them, but if 2-3 times a week to visit McDonald's, then it will not cause any harm to health.

Absolutely! Fast food is slowly killing people especially the kids who usually gets childhood obesity by eating a not so healthy ingredients found in burgers, nuggets, french fries, sodas and even breakfast sandwiches. We must avoid fast food if we want to live a little bit long.

Of course it can potentially kill, fast means more money which means more savings which means less health, it's a sick chain

That is right. It is very addictive because the tastes are really good (no doubt), aside from that people are now lazy that is why they prefer to buy at fast food since it is ready to eat at all at an affordable price. People knew about this, people knew that these foods contain many preservatives yet we still eat. It is because most of us do not care about our health.

Fast food can harm our bodies and we don’t know what are the ingredients are in there. If it can cause cancer, diabetes and other diseases that are deadly. I think, people who are working are eat more on fastfood chains. Its quick and convenient for them to eat there. But its very harmful if you eat there everyday. What i suggest is they should have meal plans. Prepare them for a week and they are ready to eat.

I think that's true. society develops and people work more. They do not have time to buy food for cooking. Fast food is the best choice. But it is not good for your health. It is not nutritious and has many harmful substances. It will eventually kill you.

leaving fast food in total may have difficulty,but at least reduce is the best way to do.Some of them by adding fruits and vegetables so that fiber needs can be met,reduce the portion of fast food and reduce fried foods,replace carbonated beverages with fruit juice,milk or mineral water.Obviously,anything that is consumed in excess will be less good for health.As well as fast food,during normal limits,health risks can still be tolerated,but if you have a bad health condition,maybe avoid fast food.

Saturated fats commonly found in fast food can increase bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower good cholesterol (HDL). Combined with excessive salt intake can increase blood pressure and enlarge the heart muscle. As we know, high cholesterol and high blood pressure are the main causes of heart disease and stroke.

Body Deficiency Nutrition

As we know that the body is very needed once the nutrients to support health conditions. but with frequent eating fast food makes the nutrients in the body to be reduced it is because fast food does not contain vitamins, minerals and other substances that must be very useful for the health of the body. side effects of nutritional deficiencies can cause disruption to the internal organs of the body.

After knowing about the dangers of fast food for the health of the body, know some of the harmful ingredients contained in it. unwittingly many of us who often eat instant food. And as we know instant food is additive and very low nutrition. And of course those foods are very harmful to our health. to know more about hazardous ingredients in instant food or fast food, consider the following reviews .

I have been taking fast food for the last 20 years and I can vouch that my health is perfectly fine. And as we are discussing about it, around 2 billion people around the world are taking fast food on a regular basis. If fast food was that bad, then these people would have been dead long back. So my advice is rather than whining about it, just enjoy your piece of fast food.

many health researchers and food researchers have been telling negative thing about the fast food, and it is true that consuming fast food too often can harm our health.
I myself always remind my family not too often consume fast food and get used to cooking their own food .

I've been trying to stop eating chicken wings and burgers. I know they are bad for my health, but just like every one end up buying them.

Everything that is too much is bad. It's the same with fast food, you eat too much, then you'll get all those sodium and sugar.

But if you are eating it just once in a while then I  don't think that you'll have a problem. Most of us eat fast food not because we are addicted but because we can afford it. If taxes will at those products is higher, I don't think that everyone will be buying it.

unfortunately, not only fast food, but also a lot of the usual food that we buy - vegetables, fruits, semi-finished products - they can also harm our health, because now they are cooked and grown with the addition of so much chemistry that I don't think our body can cope

I am lucky when i'm not one of those people who are always eating fast food . When you are addictive to fast food , you really hard to give up it .
If you like eating fast food , you should  play sports  regurlary that will help impove your health .

I think it already gave cancer to a lot of people. Though people aren't taking the danger of fast food seriously. One, its convenient. It's not that expensive and with most of us living a fast paced lifestyle, the concept of fastfoods suite us.

Fast food  not potentialy, but really killing. Seems that a lot of people are too lazy and just don't like to think about the future. Choosing to get some guilty pleasure at the moment. And it takes time to change gustatory habits. People can start to eat healthy food, but if they don't see the result in a couple days the become disappointed and returning to fast food. I see a lot of girls who dreaming to lose some weight in a week, then start to eat as the used to and keep being slim. :)

Yes, I've heard of that many times. However, we all know that fast food is what satisfies our cravings. Though it is risky to have it in our daily routine, it is still something that gives us satisfaction by enjoying the foods there. I'm one of those who always eat at fast foods but I'm not afraid of the risks since it gives me enjoyment.

People eat these food because its easier to buy it than cook yourself at home (for me not). You need to spend time on it - first you go to the market and buy healthy fresh food, than you need to cook it, after it washing etc.. Anyway there are various types of fast-food and If you want your meal right now, go pick something healthy : salads, grill etc...

Fast food may be unhealthy, but doesnt mean other foods out there are. Any excessive or low intake of sugar, salt, fats, dairy and even water can damage your body. Basically anything. A balanced diet is the key.

OT: btw, this is my first post here after a few days of lurking around ;D

It's just convenient for the most people to eat fast food.
Many people work all day or more jobs and just don't have time to cook or prepare food at home.
They also don't have much time to eat so fast food is perfect solution for them.
I'm sure that most of this people understand that fast food is bad for their health but have no choice.
There is no easy solution to this problem.

A constant diet of fast food is the reason why obesity is currently at an all time high in the world and with obesity, we get the risk of diabetes, High Blood Pressure and even Heart failure and sometimes Cardiac Arrest as well. So fast food will definitely kill when consumed on a regular basis.

We are finding out that fastfood was a typo. They meant fatsfood.

 :D

Good one there! Ahaha!  ;D



Yes, it's definitely the fat and sodium which happen to be very heavy in fastfood menus because they make the food satisfying. And since it's cheap and easier to order a takeout than cook at home, eating from fastfood became increasingly common.

It is hard to just switch quickly though. The tastebuds take time adjusting to less salt and fat. Not to mention the temptation is everywhere. Oh those chicken wings!

Three things why people love fast food.
1 its fast, hence the name. You call and have it delivered tp you in less than 30 mins. Or you drive in and come out 5 minutes later with warm food and drinks.
2. Convinience, much like any other food enterprises, you don't need to actually cook to eat. You could just pick up the phone, drive by, or enter the establishment to have good.
3. This maybe debatable, but fast food tastes good. Maybe because of all the chemicals and preservative that makes it tastes better. But hey they're there.

Actually! yeah that exclamation mark is needed here...

People have made the fastfood as their primary food...& this is the problem...Let the McD a surplus food store and do not turn it into a main course food store...

Problem is with us & not with the fast food. For God sake admit it... :P

I am someone who have regularly taken fast food for more than 10 years and I find nothing wrong in it. While choosing for a restaurant from where you need to eat regularly, there are a lot of factors which needs to be taken care of. Safety of the food is one of the concerns, but so are other factors such as affordability, taste and preparation time.

I don't like to eat fast food , i knew fast foods aren't good for  health  when i was young  which is why i usually eat lots of green vegetables and exercise . I think people should be aware of this sooner

I have tried it myself. Fast food is bad for our health. When I was a student, I ate at fast food almost everyday. For someone who was always an ectomorph, I gained a lot of weight. I thought it was good for me because I finally gained weight but when I was checked by the doctors at school,I have high blood pressure. The doctor advised me to stop eating fast food and just bring my own food for school. He made me realize that the taste doesn't define the nutrition that we will get. If you want to live long, stop eating fast food and make sure to spend time exercising.

What is the point in living for an additional two or three years, if you can't enjoy your life? I don't have anything against eating "healthy" food. But then, how healthy is this "healthy" food? Most of the fruits and vegetables which are available from the market contains high amounts of pesticide residue.

Before I decided to quit eating fast food continuously, I had been always eating fast food for dinner and as a result of this bad eating habit, I was getting fat day by day and I had serious medical issues. But now, I stop eating trash food almost one and a half year ago. My health is getting better and better day by day. Fast food is the most dangerous stuff that humankind have encountred for sure.

Fastfood can potemtially kill us because of the ingredients mix with it. Like those which are at the instant noodles or canned goods. It is very likely to eat fresh foods, fruits and vegetables than that on the food which were instant.

Honestly it is true that these kinds of foods are very dangerous and could lead to many diseases that are very harmful to our body but you can't blame those people that can only eat these due to some factors like the place they are working, most business districts doesn't have a near access to a healthy cuisine food store that is why they tend to eat fastfood to save time as well and go back to their offices. Another one is that of course it is cheaper than restaurants. In the end it is our choice but we can't force someone to eat healthy foods just because they know the risk of fast foods.

Indeed people are fond of eating fastfood.. simply because it can be prepared fast and can consume fast. Not knowingly, the toxic substances are present in the food, release of it can cause different types of cancer and also obesity for children regularly consuming it.

Please provide proof for what you are saying. I am someone who used to consume fast food almost daily for more than 10 years. And till now, I am not facing any health issues. If consuming fast food caused cancer, then the world population would have got reduced by anywhere from one-fourth to one-third from the current levels.

Yes, fast food is a very convenient solution for busy people but there are potential hazards to health. Because each fast food ingredient contains high calorie and cholesterol, it is possible to be obese or So we need to change the menu every day, we should cut the amount of fast food into the body, can eat them at the weekend but absolutely do not eat much and eat before. 7 pm.

Because fast food is usually delicious and saving time. For people who are busy working, according to them fast food offer the best solution.
I would advise that fast food would be harmful to our health. And I will ask and teach him how to make good and healthy cooking.
I do not belong to that category.

When I was in my teens, I was taking food from McDonald's almost daily. I would not say that the food was delicious, but it was OK. At that time, I had few other options. My budget was limited and the time we got for lunch break was just 30 minutes.

some reasons are they are busy having no time to make healthy food,
second, because its taste more delicious.
actually that's not too danger when we eat it not regularly.
the danger one is when we it too much and daily.
for the suggestion, for the busy people is managing the time again,
because when we can manage our time we can do something well.
the problem is laziness isn't it ?

 

Fast food can surely kill us. Since it has chemical content to preseve such items for ou consumption. Let us just make sure to live a healthy lifestyle and eat healthy foods

For me, as one of those fast food addict that you talk about the things that makes me eat this even though i know the health issues it can give is because of its taste that i cannot find to healthy foods. One of the things that i do to refrain from eating to this fast food resto are cooking at home, and buying lots of fruit.. and setting cheat days once every two weeks to sustain my cravings to it.

Lots of people nowadays are living in the fast lane. They are busy enough that they cant even prepare a decent meal for themselves that is why they resort to fast foods and not minding what dangers it would cause them to their health.

Fast food only, and gmo products and chemistry in food and substitutes. This all of us can kill and carries a greater danger than fast food. Low-quality and stale food is what will kill us.

not only fastfood but most of the food we consume on a daily basis is harmful to our body. many companies say they produce healthy food. but on the internet we see many videos about food produced under unhealthy conditions. so we need to produce our own food for ourselves.

The protein and fat content depends on the ingredient. There are fast food items which contain generous amounts of proteins, and at the same time contains very low amounts of unsaturated fats. Even if you consume fast food regularly, it is possible to avoid the consumption of unsaturated fats and sugar above the daily recommended limit.

To some extent, of course that kills. This fatty food, which adversely affects our body, especially the liver and pancreas.  :(Moreover, from the regular eating of this food, people very quickly gain weight and spoil their figure. But on the other hand, it's delicious and fast food ... street food. And often it happens, that there is no time to eat at a cafe or a restaurant and we eat this fast food. Everyone decides what to eat ;)

love for fast food is akin to love for strong drinks, it's a kind of food alcoholism, or rather a food drug-fast, convenient, very tasty, satisfying ... but not cheap ...

I think that fast food is like slow death because there side effcts or lets Say her serious and dangerous affect appears by the time .beside  fastfood are like smoking {we know all that it kills but people keep smoking} Same as fast foods because we all know that is dangerous but our style of life ,the speed and the system of our world make us like machins .we chase time and fast food is one those solutions but we  dont have choice .I think that  the solution is between the hands of big companies like{ macdonald and pizzahot and kintaki} all those could make a big change  and maybe solve the problem  by improving the quality of  food and go more To the natural and healthy food.

It has the potential to kill us if we will continue to lavishly and unmindful of eat such kind of food. consider how many secret ingredient they have in each food they offer which do not really know all we care is it looks and its taste which is pleasing and affordable and easy to cook for us  regardless of how it bring in the future.. is as if.. eat now and suffer later..we are to be responsible to whatever food we intake so that our body may prolong healthy and strong just as we desire to live with the same desire.

Haha,, I mistook the title from potentially kill to penta kill
If we eat in a fastfood regularly instead of just cooking a healthy meal to eat we might get a serious disease in the following months or years.
Those people who are busy with their jobs has a limited time so fastfood will be their best choice of having a meal.

Yes, fast food WILL kill you if you keep eating it. I think either people are uneducated about the dangers or just simply don't care. I care about what I eat and I feel so much better since I stopped drinking sodas and eating at the drive thru. Hopefully people will learn sooner rather than later.

Fast food is very fast according to its name. Fast to eat when you are in the bottom of hunger. Fast to prepare your meal. Fast to give your money to there counter or by digital. You can relax while doing your own business. fast food can never be slow. If you are in a hurry there is fast food. The problem is you can have fast diseases. Some time you die very fast. I heard a news before that one child always begged to his father to eat in fast food every. The father granted the request of his child. It happened every day they eat in fast food. Until 30 days the precious life of his child was gone. It was a sad story.
It always depends on what you eat is your health.

Fastfoods are deliciously dangerous foods. They give us sickness and untreatable diseases. People still eat them because they dont feel the effect of it until they are already suffering from disease. Well, we cant control people to eat fastfoods.

Fastfood can potentially kill us! That's why it was called fast food is a fast killer of life. That is the no.1 killer of our health. We got our bad cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, obesity & other kind of diseases because of our unhealthy diet. We need to choose a healthy lifestyle to avoid different diseases. I prefer to used supplements to build the gap of nutrition that I don't have in my body. That's why I am strong & healthy  ;)

As I see the taste and the busy life is the reason why people so addicted to fast food, it delicious and fast, actually nowadays you cant buy good foods in markets, even vegetables and fruits contains chemicals, growing vegetables, and fruits in our own home is something we have to think about,that way we are so sure about what we are eating, even we can make delicious foods using them,my opinion is its the only way to have good chemicals fewer foods.

solid work and demanding high activity is one of the causes of someone eating fast food, every friend of mine consume this food, I always advise to minimally reduce the food, and I am including someone who rarely consume the food

Fast food is bad for our body, the grease and the sweetener is going to harm our body, but most of the people eat it because it is delicious and fast, people now life in a quick pace, they want something fast and full and they just fast food, it is very hard to teach people eat healthy food until its too late, usually people will eat healthy food after being diagnose with serious illness

As the word suggested, "fastfood". Most of the people do not want to eat and wait at a luxurious restaurant and eat expensive foods or meal made by a known chef, they mostly eat at a fast food because it do not consume that much time to eat there and most of the food in a fast food chain are always the favorite food of them all.

No its not,  just moderate what we eat.  Don't point all fast food chain.  Because it depends on us what we eat everyday,  moderation is the key to avoid kill our self to eat unhealty foods everyday.

Institutions such as McDonald's are created to quickly eat and run on business. If this occurs not often it does not cause harm

This is completely true, they just want profit and don't care about their consumers health, if we all knew what is inside what we eat....

I think once someone left a McDonald's cheeseburger outside, and not only did no animals or insects ate it, but it looked the same.

Checkout this article with a 20 year old burger https://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahjewell/this-20-year-old-burger-from-mcdonalds-looks-brand-new?utm_term=.qojYJ5r4mZ#.vvrq1DQxGZ.

LOL... true. When I was a student, I used to eat from McDonald's almost regularly. A meal used to cost me anywhere from $2 to $4. The same from a regular restaurant would have cost me at least $20. So fast-food provided me with an affordable option to fill my stomach, and I would have to say that the taste was as good as we get from any mainstream restaurant.

It could be if we will not stop eating so much of fast food and process meat food it can be harmful for our body with many different contained chemical which we do not know that can lead to sickness and diseases if we're not aware of it might as well be very conscious of the food we intake be mindful not just of the taste but the effect it bring to our body.

New Years Resolution, no more fast food!

Because fast food is usually delicious and saving time. For people who are busy working, according to them fast food offer the best solution.

Most people can't eat in moderation. They like to eat, and then they are obese. Hard to give up fast food, when it tastes so good.

Fastfoods contain a lot of saturated fats, sugars and salt and they are not good for the body in high levels. I don't think that we should avoid fast-food altogether, but consuming in moderation would be good.

Being in the feild pf medicine i advise you all as much as possible to not eat fastfood not only is full of unhealthy producta it is a product of gmo or genetically modified organism that affect your pverall health

Fast food is an easy way for all, no need to cook and very cheap so many are tempted to eat it. That is why it is not easily to suggest people to stop from being addicted with this food even they know how bad this food to our body.

Fast food has become addiction and menace to our populace and I think is as a result of most times spent in our offices and workplace. The best advice is to substitute the fast food with raw food like banana ,pineapple and grapes when we think we need something fast to fill our stomach.

Fast food can not be eaten all the time. Once a day a person should eat soup or other liquid food. In addition to obesity from fast food, you will still earn heart problems.

The pace of life that you know today the hustle everyone busy with their work do not have time to cook. Should fast food is the optimal choice for them. But the influence of fast food is not good for health. Many toxic substances affect the body by foods is not guaranteed.

That's true, I am also addictive into fast food and unprocessed meats. We're eating at the fast food often than to cooked because we are also busy with our everyday activities and duties. That's why sometimes we don't have enough time to cook because we are already hungry especially at dinner.

IT will kill you if you consume everyday.

There is a very good book on this topic, representing a systematic review of 15 years of nutritional research:

How Not to Die by Dr Michael Greger

highly recommended if you are interested in health effects of foods.

I agree eating fastfood once in a while will not have health wise ramifications to the person but the frequent eating will definitely cause obesity and we all know what happens when that happens. Fastfood has been killing but due to the fact that we are living in a fast paced world, people don't seem to mind at all.

I don't think it's fast food per se that is dangerous. What's concerning is the fact that people eat it at breakfast, lunch and dinner, without anything else. You can eat at a fast food once a week without any problem, but you need to have a balanced diet for the rest of the week. It's easy to attribute responsability like that, making fast food the scapegoat.

The truth is that people are too lazy when it comes to nutrition. Instead of making lunch at home using fresh ingredients they prefer going to mcdonalds, spend twice as much and damage their body. They choose the immediate pleasure of eating a cheeseburger over their own health.

Most people get addicted because they don't have enough willpower, they believe they can't change the way they are until something really critic happens, but that might be already too late.

We should teach the importance of vegetables, because it's obvious that people are clueless about how their own body functions. Other than that, we can't really do much to change people's habits. If a person is obese, assuming he doesn't suffer from any kind of condition, the issue lies way deeper that fast food. The issue is the complete lack of self-respect. Sometimes I get a bit angry when I see over-weight people complain about their situation because I can't help but imagine how many years of self-hatred brought there, and at no point in this period of time they considered about changing their life for the better. They didn't have the willpower to change their life so now they complain to others about it and demand special treatment.

Fast food is terrible.

I used to consume fast food three times a day, for more than 10 years. I no longer do that, but I am still alive. So please stop your FUD and concentrate on more dangerous stuff such as drugs, alcohol and tobacco. It is laughable that the resources which should be used to fight alcoholism and drug abuse are being diverted for this silly issue.

May or may be not. Man knows what is good and best food to take and foods which are not good for health. If carelessness in taking all available foods then not only potentially but surely kill us.

I really like fast food, but that is very bad for health. Fast food causes many problems in organism.

all the carbs we take there are really scary to our health in addition that those ingredients are frozen and not fresh,
I've been around of some restaurants too they are not looking for fresh once they are already established and turning their health promotion into much cheaper meat and poultry which are frozen even on seafoods.

Yes,i agree.. Fastfoods are harmful to your body if it becomes your daily routine in life. Because fastfoods have preservatives that contain harmful chemicals that can affect your body and could cause different ailments when consume. Thats why it should be eaten not regularly. Or it is best to never eat it at all.

Yes, we all knew that fast food is something that contains a lot of bad elements that is unhealthy for our body. We really have to be careful on what we put in our body and fast food is something we need to avoid. Well, we can occasionally have some for a treat.

Only potentially? Wake up and smell the roses.
Studies say that sugar is more addictive than heroin.
Salt and fat literally kill your heart and internal organs.
Should I mention also the lack of exercise? Funniest are people that take the car to the gym and go up on automatic stairs.

Fast food really has a bad effect on our health. But if eat him not so much, then you can do without significant illnesses.

The main reason of cause of cancers are fast foods. Because of fast foods billions of people die every year. To prevent cancers and other things we should take care about our meals. It should be healthy.

Most fast food that we consume contains preservatives, and these preservatives have adverse effect in our system. Mitigating the rate at which fast food is been consumed is the best for every individual.

Fast food costs relatively little and tastes good, but the negative effects on physical health last much longer than these immediate concerns. With the high-calorie meals come more fat, cholesterol, salt and sugar -- and therefore fewer vitamins, minerals and other nutrients - than in healthier foods.

Eating a lot of fast food can lead to development of atherosclerosis, diabetes and obesety.The health problems that stem from overweight and obesity alone can severely limit lifestyles and shorten life spans. But nevertheless, fast food plays certain important roles in life, especialy in some “urgent cases”, such as when people need to satisfy the empty stomach temporarily to stop its “cries”.So we can make use of fast food just when we are really busy and lack time.To reduce the potential risks of eating fast food we should  not eat them regularly, lasting several days to reduce the negative effects of fast food on our body.

Yes, maybe. Today, there are many people who are obese. They do not have a measure when they eat a lot of kilograms food. And this leads to bad consequences.

The ingredients used in preparing these fast foods are poisonous to our bodies and the more we accumulate them into our system, overtime the damage would be severe and that can lead to death

It's clear to anyone that fast food is killing us. Therefore, you need to adhere to at least a standard food, and ideally of course a healthy. This is tastier and better

I like the "potentially" part - that's really funny.

I think it's not a "potential" anymore so to speak. Fastfood has been one of the leading causes of unhealthy diet in every part of the world. I mean, America has even tried to make people realize it through many series of documentaries and movies like "Supersize Me" to name a few. However, I think I can't blame people for having a love affair with fastfood since in the life most people live today which is fast-paced, many are into the habit of eating cheap and quick, without so much compromise with taste, and fastfood delivers that, apart from the fact that they literally can deliver at your doorstep for your convenience.

The most important thing is not to overdo it so as not to hate yourself later. But, fast food is a good helper, when you have time to spare.

Fast foods can be very harmful considering the chemicals they use to grow some vegetables and some creams they add to the foods. This is one major cause of cancers.

Fast food just can't potentially kills us, it can really kill us. The calorie and fat content of the food there is despicable. This is why I stopped eating fast food way back after finding out the contents of all those food. It is still better to eat the natural and home cooked food because it keeps us healthy. I'd rather eat healthy food.

i cant believe it!! I love fast food and I mean come on... its just normal products. what can be so bad about them?

That's a good one.
Can I add something? Anything can potentially kill us.

Or did you mean can kill US?

It's a completely truth, fast food is a short way to humans body, fast-food are produce with different ingredients which are dangerous for man's health for just to make the food look nice and tasteful

For me no.  It depends to people what they eat.  And lifestyle also if you are not in good in your lifestyle maybe you will die soon.  So keep you body healthy.

Also, what do you mean by fast food? There are a lot of places with fast food that don't make unhealthy food.

Are slow eaters the ones who are killed by fast food?

 ;D

Good one.
Also: Evolution is a hoax.  8)

Do you mean dinosaurs died out from eating their food too fast?

 :D

I really like fast food, but that is very bad for health. Salt and fat literally kill your heart and internal organs.

Not bad for the financial health of the fast food chain.

 ;D

I think yes,some fastfood in India are not good it's very dirty and disgusting , no proper handling food and beverage in that country'

I stopped eating in fastfood places a few years ago, the fact I can't quit Coke is amazing sugar is simply helping me to overcome my daily life.

No not really but it is possible that the foods in fastfood will slowly kills us if everyday we eat in the fastfoods. But all fastfoods establishments and company have the right requirements to maintain the foods that they serve is clean. And maybe the preservatives that they serve in foods is one of the ingridients that can slowly kill us in the future.

Fast food is available just about everywhere, including in hospitals and schools, and processed foods make up the majority of foods at your supermarket. They are marketed aggressively to kids and adults alike, and are manufactured using specific synthetic ingredients and other tricks to get you to eat more, crave more, and keep coming back for more.

Yes it kills us, we don't know if the foods they serve are clean.

Yes i also don't prefer Fast food. The greatest disadvantage of fast food is the adverse effect that it has on one's health. It is a fact that fast food is more unhealthy than home-cooked meals, as they contain higher amounts of unwanted nutrients like salt, fat and various types of artificial chemicals. It is generally made in a bulk production process, lowering the overall quality of the food. The production process involved in creating fast food added a lot of greasy and fat content to foods which can cause health problems even to death as well.

The disadvantage of eating fast food is that the nutrition supply is less balanced, which only pays attention to the supply of meat, sugar and grease, and the lack of vegetables, fruits, cellulose and so on. The lack of vitamins and minerals, so long-term consumption of fast food can lead to nutritional imbalance.

Food ain't kills you, your lack of intelligence is killing you.
If you take a burger per month it's not about the harm. If you eat them twice a day, then you are running out of intelligence.


And do you know the guys at the top-5 of that city's expensive restaurant cleans the food? Einstein.

If we can't stop our self to eat every day like burger paties fries and soda our body can take so much more fats and it can bring us. Heart attack eating to much in fast food can kill us slowly.

I am not the one who eats fast food every day and I think there is no harm if you do it once a week, for example. Because food like everything else has to be balanced. I saw the performance of James Oliver on TED talks and he said that people ea it because they do not have enough knowledge about healthy food.

Anything can kill us anytime. It's just life. So take care and watch your back, and it's gonna be alright.

The easy way, and the fastest. Imagine people work from morning to evening and they hardly have time to prepare their food in the morning and tired enough in the evening so the easy way for them is to drop by a fast food or over the counter food and go. Same routine daily. It is indeed dangerous but i think they just dont have the right time management and priorities. I dont do the same. I manage to prepare my food in the evenig so i could have food the next day. That is why there is microwave for reheating food. They can prepare 3-4 kinds if food every weekend and freeze part if it and refrigerate part. Then they have better food every day. They just have to reheat them.

With the fast moving society people have been adapted to fast foods. But fast foods are filled with different chemicals which used for preservation and taste. Therefore byeating fast foods people get huge amount of chemicals. It is not good for body and it will be a fast kill.

There is only one reason why we keep eating on fast food. Because, it was delicious. I don't believe in such thing that eating there can kill us, The only reason I know is that getting obese because of eating too much fast-food.  Having too much is really bad,you can really potentially killing yourself if you have a lack of discipline and discipline is the only way to avoid it.

What is the point in living up to 100 years, if you are always afraid of dying? I would rather live up to 80 years, eating and drinking whatever I want (I am only a mild drinker and I don't smoke). It is ridiculous that some people always put health advisories over the food we eat. According to them, we should avoid fatty food, sweets, oils, red meat, alcohol, processed food.etc. What is the fun in eating tasteless food, even if it can increase your longevity?

Well the thing is most of the things used in these processed foods can harm you. Even if you live to 80 years old but have half of your life living sick, then there's no point as you won't enjoy it. It's not bad to follow those health advisories every now and then

If we would think of our bodies as a temple for our soul every time we are about to eat something like a hamburger we would`t eat it with a smile on our face. When we eat something that we like our brain releases dopamine. That is why people are addictive to fast food. Also we are overwhelmed with fast food ads, fast food restaurants etc. Fast food is available everywhere. That is also a reason why people have a hard time to say no to it.

Because the threats seem somewhat distant to them. People rarely think about future. Besides, they think they can stop anytime they want, but quite often it's too late.

many reasoned there is no time to prepare their own food because they have to work to complete the target work so that leave work early or a little rest time during the day and tired at night. that's why people prefer fast food

People buy these foods just to eat bcause we need something to stuff our stomachs.  Our lives are fast paced and that is why we have no time to look for our meals or even no time to cook.  These foods are cooked on fast way and soaked in oil.  But we eat those because they are indeed delicious.

The issue is not that fast food kills, it is that it shortens lives. & why people do it anyway? lack of education, habit, addiction (to sugar, fatty or processed foods)

Just remember. You're probably gonna die anyway, sometime. Might as well gobble what tastes good.

 ;D

people still continue to consume fast food because of the affordable price, fast serving of its cuisine and many fast food restaurants are open 24 hours.
my advice is, we should not consume fast food continuously every day because we are not sure about the ingredients used in the fast food, we better cook our own cuisine at home, because we can make sure about the use of material clean and healthy food ingredients, in addition we will save more on our daily expenses.
I personally do not really like fast food, I prefer to cook at home.

fast food is for children, too many carbs will be okay if you are young and run most of the time as it is the one who first burns!
if you are on the 20's and eating too much carb you can die on this or have a heavyweight. we all run and run at young but we don't do that as we grow older.
carbs are for athletes and not for an ordinary day!

Why does fastfood can kill us?

Now a days, lots of people became busy, they doesn't want to me late at school, works and etc. So that they want everything to be instant, that is why there's a Fast Food Restaurant.. But they don't notice that eating so much of fatty food which is served by Fast Food Restaurants, not all Fast Food Chains serve a healthy meal! Even it looks like healthy it didn't, it has lots of MSG..  Fast Food can kill us for being sick, like obesity, unhealthy lifestyle and cancer.. That's why Fastfood can potentially kill us.

Many people choose to on fastfood due to lack of time to cook and prepare their for themselves. However, eating on fastfoods is not as healthy as if you were preparing your own food. Becasuse most of the foods in fastfoods were undergo process. It means, it contain chemicals.

Everyone knows that fast food is terribly bad. We do not regret our health? All our problems and fat stomachs are therefore. All this is understood, but no one changes anything in his way of life. And I, including!

I wouldn't really say it is about to, but in the long run, it might have certain negative effects of course. However, I still like that juicy burger from time to time ; )

Yes,maybe, onogda think that this is a special program to lbdi slowly began to deteriorate and die,because there is not quality food,lots of fat,sauces and so on,cholesterol is way!The most simple is to poison the population, not quality of water and food,destroying the gene pool

Fastfood is very bad ,when it becomes perpetual habit of someone ,as know time to prepared real Delicious meal.

That's American people spread whole of the world...

Science is less than 50 years away from transferring the human mind into a computer.  Future generations could very well live forever.

These days fast food is really a head turner when you are hungry and you have no time to cook. Bad thing is, we have no idea how the food was prepared, as long as it taste good, we don't worry about it. I have been to a lot of fast food and what I have noticed is that there is a lot of lazy people who does not cook their own food. Cooking your own food will save you a lot of money and the most important thing is that we know what we are eating.

When cooking, usually used the same oil (the fries, cutlets for hamburgers). By repeated application of fat when frying stand out carcinogens, which then fall into the food and affect digestion. This gives rise to ulcers, heaviness in the stomach and chronic gastritis. With all this, washed down as usual, carbonated water, which in addition to modifiers, preservatives and dyes does not allow the food to digest quickly and that there is a bloating and increased fat deposits in the body. Thus, it is possible to come to believe that fast food is harmful for health.

Yes,. Some fastfood chain are dirty..

Most people are addictive to fast-food because of the kind of job they do which do not give them time to cook a proper meal. Not all but most fast food are not too healthy because they not take time to cook the food properly like the way you will cook it at home.

 Some time ago scientists discovered that
human bodies buried in the last three decades, almost do not decompose! They look like they were put in a grave a week ago. It happened in cause of wide using of preservatives. U eat it with fast food and with cheep products long-term storage

I think he can not kill us if we take care of ourselves, we will give fast food a certain amount of time, a certain dose. And then there will be no problems.

To quit the addiction of fastfood a person has to understand that he is in a life threat, the best way is to bane all fast food stuff.

In my own thoughts, i can say that fast food can potentially kill us if we merely deal with it all the time. They say that "Fast Food " means "junk Food" because it serve with so many additives that are bad to our health. And so if we want to attain good health we should start abstaining from eating in the fast food but  may be in another way around if we can't resist to do so, we may balance it by taking more fruits and vegetables a day! So to speak I may say that everything must be in moderation and balance and mix it with a happy heart !

Over the past few years, scientists have proven that consuming fatty foods in large amounts causes Alzheimer's, diabetes and various allergies.

Those were the side effects of eating unhealthy or should we say fast foods.  It is prepared fast and with lots of preservatives.  Lots of preservatives in order for it to last a long time.  As time goes by, many acquire those diseases because of eating unhealthy foods.

It is due to the Food Giants who are leeching off us by making us believe fast food is the answer to our problems. If it's fast food do you think it is fresh? Nah it is frozen, which is completely unhealthy.

From fast food, obesity occurs. Do not eat a lot of harmful food.

lmao. too much of it will DEFINITELY kill you. fastfoods have too much preservatives on them. eating once, already isn't healthy.

Fast food is a small part of the problem.  People dont make time to cook healthier meal cause everyone i always o much on the go.  Being on the go, your gonna eat not a healthy option, and exercise less.  People never make that connection and jut throw a blanket hate on fast food.

Everyone knows that fast food contains lots of fat, sodium, and sugar that has been shown to decrease bone density. In addition, fast food also does not contain balanced nutrition because the cooking process that can not be controlled. Some types of fast food are rich in oil and butter, which of course also without any hygiene guarantees, and almost no choice of fast food with reduced fat content. In addition, fast food also tends to contain only a few vegetables and fruits.

I can say yes, eventually. Its not bad to eat in fastfood but you should have limits, you cannot do it everyday of your life. You might not see the result now, but as time goes by and your are getting older then maybe the result will come up and its too late. I read a lot of posts regarding this thing and as much as possible I will control myself to make it a habit.

There is another word link with fast food which is junk food, I only eat these type of food whenever I am in a rush for time, I will try my best to avoid eating it if possible.

We all know that it's not good for health, buh some can't just do without it  >:(

A quick way to eat, when you do not want to cook, and the price will be lower than in the restaurant. Therefore, it is harmful to understand, the main thing is that it is cheap and fast and satisfying.

  Fast food is very harmfull for human body.But we don't care it.Though we feel very test to eat fastfood but it damage us potentialy.So we should not eat fastfood randomly.

Preservatives are present everywhere. They are present in fruit juices, energy drinks, cheese spreads, processed meats, and bread. Preservatives are even present in your daily packet of cow milk. How you are going to avoid them? So there is no point in complaining about fast food. Chemicals are present in other food items as well.

You die anyway even you dont eat fastfood lol. Just joking
Sure we shouldnt eat that too much ->> lead to high colesteron and overweight
I workout 5 times a week, eating healthy but something still treat my self a fastfood meal

Absolutely! Fast food is slowly killing people.its is very addictive  because that tastes are really good.fast food is very like people, especially the kids who usually gets childhood obesity by cating a not so healthy ingredients founds in nuggets, french fries, burgers,sodas and even break fast sandwiches.we mast avoid fast food if we want to live a little bit long.

Not only fast food. Everything around us can kill us. It all depends on how we take those things.

That's the problem with us people. We know what's the consequences of the unhealthy foods we take but we still eat them. And one of the reason is that we do not care. Yes you are right. We really don't care as long as we enjoy the food we do not care how could that affect our body. We cannot force them not to eat that. It's up to us how are we going to avoid.

People are busy. They have no time to cook and many of us even don't have possibility to have a lunch at home. That's why we go to fastfood, cause it's fast, cheap and mostly yummy ;D . And yeah, it can kill you.

I quite like eating fastfood because it's convienient, delicious but it' so fast. I think dieter should limit fastfood intake

People eat fast food because it is tasty and cheap :) I would suggest making the same food at home with healthy ingredients, it won't be causing that much harm!  ;)  

Well it definitely cant be good for you to only eat junk food. I always target to eat more basic but different food. My every meal includes good portions of proteins from meat -chicken mostly, carbs like rice or pasta and vegetables. And I go to gym every two days, lots of squats  ;D

I know some fast food nutrition is not balanced! Long term eating is harmful to the body!

People eat fast food every day, because it's quick and tasty, and they think they will never get sick. In people say animal instincts!

When you go out with your friends, the only food option seems to be fast food. But even smoother choices can be made. I guess we'il have to get used to it.

Exactly.  Let's face it, no matter what we do, no matter what decisions we make, we all eventually die.  As soon as we're conceived, a timer starts ticking down until it stops, at which point we die, so why not enjoy yourself while you can?

Well the food in that "restaurants" are good but the problem is they're adding too much sugar and salt into the food and that is a disaster.

I do not think that there is much harm in this. you need to monitor your physical condition and lifestyle. and eat periodically fast food.

Fast food is defined as a food for mood. It is rich in saturated fats, whose long-term intake increases the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.

In addition, hamburgers are full of salt. Consumption causes water retention, we feel swollen, and heart slows down. This in turn increases blood pressure.

Sometimes it's only because of business profit that fast food run their tasty delicious goody but they don't mind their customers physical health condition. Their fast food is like a poison with addiction content that labelled a hidden message it says; Eat unmindful & take it all you can fully then you will die slowly & surely. I suggest let us be concern also to our health so that we will be get truly wealth in our vulnerable one life only.

Frequent use of fast food and other fatty foods in large quantities irreversibly changes the work of the immune system and translates it into a permanent state of "emergency."
This can lead to the development of allergies, diabetes and autoimmune diseases

the benefits of eating fast food outweigh the long-term implications for most people. However, once you read these reasons why all those trips to the drive through may be slowly killing you, you may just want to stop eating fast food after all.
1. Fast food makes you fat.
2. Fast food is addictive.
3. Fast food eggs are definitely not the breakfast of champions.
4. Fast food is affecting your kids.
5. Fast food “burgers” don’t have much burger in them.
6. Fast food “chicken nuggets” are even nastier than “burgers.”
7. Even “healthy” fast food isn’t that healthy.
8. Fast food is inhumane to animals.
9. Fast food sodas are loaded with sugar.
10. Fast food doesn’t really taste that good.

Definitely yes, because fastfoods will not tell you what's the best food for you or what could be the food that would makes you better, what they actually do is just to sell all the foods they have on their menu, they dont care weather this would be bad for yo7 or not.

I quite agree with you that fast food is a contributory factor to health challenges befalling too many these days. I used to be very fat few months back until I had serious health challenges then I was advised to reduce my fat intake, soft drinks, avoid sugar and late night meal. I was advised to take more of veges, water,nuts etc and do more of exercise. I did as advised and today I'm very fit by God's grace.

Of course it will, its called fast food for a reason, it works like a low dose poison which you take every time you eat it then takes effect after building up. "Business as usual", they don't care about your health as long as they earn money.

Lot of people are short sighted. Eating fast food today, tomorrow and the next won't kill you or even hurt you. Years or months of eating that way all the time will. It kills me that fast food is so cheap but when people destroy their bodies with it the state is expected to save their life so they can continue to destroy their body.

Good question. Lots of foods are high in fats, sodium etc. Everything in moderation is important. Of course we should only eat white meat, nuts and the like, but if you want a burger occassionally - I say enjoy it!

Indeed, but fast foods are not bad at all, but i agree to the fact that some are having a serious eating problem and most of them are looking for fast food meal that if not moderated can give you serious health problems,
At the end of the day the fastest way to go to hell is by intention.

I agree. If you do it everyday. It is advisable to eat on a restaurant were they cook real food not pre-cooked. Fastfood can really shorten our lives because of the preservatives. It is proven that preservatives can cause harm to humans especially if its a large amount. Eating in a fastfood everyday was an example. When I was a teenager, I ate at McDonald's every morning. I noticed that I was gaining weight and I got tired easily during my workout. I stopped doing that and started to prepare my own meal. It was time consuming but it's worth it.

Meat home meals for your health.

You are what you eat, eating healthy can seem expensive, but its totaly worth it and in the end is about 5-10% more to buy better food, in some cases you can even save some money on buying vs cooking, and cooking isnt so expensive anyway.

Try a good steak, some salmon has a muuuuch better taste than fast food and a decent steak should cost you about 15-20 bucks on the market.

Easy. Because it's cheap, it's convenient and to be honest, it also tastes good for the price. It also eliminates the need for grocery, clean up and the general stress of cooking. I wouldn't say it's an addiction but it's more of general laziness. We tend to create things for the sole purpose of being lazy. Take for example a car, would you say that we are addicted to cars instead of just walking? No! We tend to do things out of convinience that is all.

Fast food had many more disadvantages in the past couple of decades. Today, the industry is expanding into offering types of foods that cater to virtually anyone. The disadvantages of fast food such as lower quality food and more fattening. However, now days there are many people prefer to look for fast food because the claim than it is more efficient when they are in busy doing their activities. 

eating and eating foods on fastfood chain is very attractive. the taste and smell of the food there is so good in the smell and it pleasures the stomach. but what we do not know about fastfood is, there are certain ingredient that even it tastes good and delicious, it can also harm us that we do not notice. and those ingredients can potentially kill us softly and slowly. maybe, we are not aware of that but sometimes, it is good to eat in fastfood chains even just for a single time or just once in a blue moon.

Man gain energy when they eat food but eating much food specially those food that can gives more cholesterol to affects bady part like our heart to work normally in pumping blood. Not only that because of uncontrolled eating. That is why Eating fast food can potentially kill's us for we do not know what they do, what kind and how many of ingredients they added.

We need moderation, everything that we eat will kills us. But it depends on you and how you work for your lifestyle. Don't eat to much fatty foods. Don't blame the fastfood.

I also think not all fast foods can slowly kill us but most of the fast foods are totally a lot of preservatives added. It is also depend on a person on how they can maintain their foods intake and what food should they need to buy on a fast food chain.

Fastfood cant kill us when you know your limit..obviously those that eat too much have the potential to get any disease from it..eat fast moderately,

I agree with your opinion!
To blame is a diet that is too excessive for fast food. Efforts to be done is to raise public awareness about dangerous fast food if consumed excessively.
I think the most basic step to foster public awareness among others, can be by making banners, foster or advertising about the dangers of consuming fast food in excess.

Rather than avoiding fast-food, we should rather focus on exercising. I am not saying that you can have 10 Big Macs a day. Fast food must be consumed in moderation and at the same time at least 15 to 30 minutes every day must be dedicated to workouts. A healthy diet with no exercise can be more harmful than a bad diet with plenty of exercise.

All types of Fast food are not good for human body. Because so many chemicals are added to get taste that fast foods. there for health conditions of human body is reduce. There are two potential threats to a person eating fast food. That is Diabetes and Heart disease. Therefore i think we should not eat fast foods daily.

Many of us were raised from birth to eat such foods. They are often more convenient, and appear cheaper, though a well-chosen slow-cooked meal can be even cheaper if you know what you're doing. Then there is the relentless advertisement and lobbying. Some fast food chains use all the tricks in the book to get children hooked: mascots, bright colors, playthings, happy songs &c.

Much of the science demonstrating severely reduced lifespan, as well as severe impairments in cognitive function, emotional regulation, and metabolism, is relatively new. So is the introduction of these food-like substances. Neither our bodies nor our cultures have had time to adapt. And we are not taught anywhere about this; why is there no life-skills or health class in schools? Because this is meant to be taught by parents, though of course it rarely is.

In addition, fast food is often more available than real food. It is an absolute disgrace to see diabetics and morbidly obese patients being rolled into the queue for the hospital's local Burger King and equally shameful that schoolchildren, college students, servicemen and (perhaps to a lesser degree) prison inmates are fed a diet that is essentially hostile to our metabolic system.

If you have an increased urge to consume fast food, then drink water. You will see that desire will disappear faster. Drinking plenty of water also reduces appetite and helps weight loss.

This thread is quite educative

A 15 year study of over 3k people found that eating fast food is linked to weight gain and insulin resistance,
fast food restaurants are catering to consumer demands to produce healthier options. The problem is, their definition of  healthy is quite lax.
the more you eat fast food, the more you crave it

Diabetes and heart disease is caused by the consumption of salt beyond a tolerable limit and due to the lack of exercise. Consumption of fast food may be having an impact, but you can't blame it as the main culprit. In my area, diabetes has almost become like an epidemic and even those who have never tasted fast food have fallen ill from that disease.

i think so fastfood can pottentially kill us because of chemical preservative that bad for the health to much fast food can kill us you better moderate it

If too much intake then yes. Its junk because most of the ingredients are harmful to human bodies. Worst it can give us diseases that can be a cause of death.. One is obesity because of fats or cholesterol that can be stored to us and can be diabetes because of high sugar from it. So, better reduce then stop eating in fastfood for health benefits.

Everything should be in moderation. You can eat in the fastfood if you want. Fastfood is ideal for those who are always in a hurry. There is nothing wrong with it. Eat vegetables and fruits if you want. We should be careful of what we put inside our body because truly health is wealth.

It can literally kill us if we were eating it daily, but if not then it can't potentially kills us.

I quite agree with you that fast food is a contributory factor to health challenges befalling too many these days. I used to be very fat few months back until I had serious health challenges then I was advised to reduce my fat intake, soft drinks, avoid sugar and late night meal. I was advised to take more of veges, water,nuts etc and do more of exercise. I did as advised and today I'm very fit by God's grace.Fast food had many more disadvantages in the past couple of decades. Today, the industry is expanding into offering types of foods that cater to virtually anyone. The disadvantages of fast food such as lower quality food and more fattening. However, now days there are many people prefer to look for fast food because the claim than it is more efficient when they are in busy doing their activities. all the carbs we take there are really scary to our health in addition that those ingredients are frozen and not fresh,
I've been around of some restaurants too they are not looking for fresh once they are already established and turning their health promotion into much cheaper meat and poultry which are frozen even on seafoods.

I'm not sure about addiction to fast food, but if you eat them everyday, yes it's bad. They will eventually realize this, sooner or later. Why not explore options? There are healthy choices all around since many are now aware of healthy lifestyle. It's a choice. It is fine to eat fast food once in a while but for me, that would be boring in the long run. It is tasty, but there is great competition in the food industry and I usually try new ones, offering healthy choices and new tastes.

In reality it is actually a potential killer, it's one of the leading causes of obesity. Obesity leads to multiple complications in
a persons health, young and old alike. Fastfood is delicious, make no mistake about that, it's a tasty revolutionary dish
equipped with a food delivery system that change and influence the people and food culture for decades. Regular exercise, healthy
choices and regulation are the only things that may slow down or save you from the complications of high consumption of fastfoods.

Actually I'm not such a type of person but sometimes with the workload we have in the office we have to take fast food. Comparing with the ancient people, the modern people have more of busy lives. With the competitiveness between the people to survive and keep the reputations they tends to be busy to increase their wealth. Therefore they tend to take more fast food to save the time and cure their hunger.

Fast food is very addictive and very cheap. When you are a teenager, if you want to eat out, you don't have so many options if you have have a big budget. So this something you are used to eat and it can be difficultu to get rid of this habits

fast food is made up of somewhat unhealthy things and procedures at most of the times. eating those foods let those unhealthy things to go inside of human body. also having fast food makes the diet unbalanced. if people are getting the usual diets instead of fast food, they can manage the nutrients and the other factors according to their health conditions. but with fast food, they cannot do that.

Yes it is unhealthy and yes it is can be a reason for many different illnes but who cares? Many people smoking, drinking and using drugs... so fastfood is not a problem.

Most of people know that fast food is harmful for our health. But people continue to eat them for their taste. You can also find in many researches that the companies who sell fastfood put some addictive ingredients into them. Therefore people get crazy for them.

I dont think addiction is the right term on it. I call it “need” or “no choice”. Most working people do not have time to prepare food. They go out of the house early in the morning and return home late at night and when they get home they dont have food to eat. They go out in the morning with no breakfast because they dont have food at home so the tendency is they drop by fast food restaurants to buy snappy food. Which is not healthy. Same routine everyday. But if they really care about their health they can be more organized with their time and spend some time in cooking and preparing healthy food at home.

Yes, I agree completely,fast food leads to obesity of the body,clogging it with cholesterol,and many garbage ctoria current harm the body,but through advertising we sell is so delicious, specially to spoil genofond and the younger generation

Yes I agree to this statement , our society been evolved and our people also we become lazy and so busy that needs a fast and food , so from the word fast it is fastcooked and sometimes it is not well done cook , and we can have many sick and diseases and just always be ware and be careful.

Someone we just care about its negative

Change your attitude to it. Build a strong association with illnesses, fat, garbage etc. and opposite with healthy food (positive associations)

I don't think there is a solution for this problem given that customers make the decisions on their own. What we see here is the rule of supply and demand. As long as there is a demand for it, fast food will always be around causing health risks to consumers. We are living in a fast lane and the need for fast food even becomes a necessity since most of us don't have time to cook at home. All of us know the health risks involved, in the end, each individual must be responsible for his/her own actions.

You should eat everything with little portions

In my country, a lot of people wants to eat in fast-food chain. They actually know that eating in fast-food is good rather than eating only at the house. They does not see the risk in eating in fast-food chain. They don't care about their health. In my opinion, we can eat in fast-food chain but be also conservative of what we will put to our stomach.

I daresay yes, fastfood can potentially kill us if we eat too much. It is fast because of the ingredients and how it is prepared. Since fastfood is prepared easily, it also has to be long lasting and because of that there are ingredients added for it to last couple of days or weeks that maybe harmful for the body. While it is delicious, it is also wise to stray from it little by little.

Not all types of fast-food is bad for the human health and not all of the regular food joints are beneficial for the human body. I am someone who used to take fast-food every day for around 7-8 years. I stopped that habit a few years back, but I never faced any health issues or complications resulting from it.

Fast food isn't really a good food for our body I think they don't really have enough nutrients for our body ,
But other's couldn't really help it because they don't really have time to prepare their food and there are some who just enjoy it because it is delicious. 

Fastfood won't kill us, if you don't eat it every day

Many people choose fast food because they lack time to cook and prepare for themselves. Fast food is very bad.

You can eat some fast food and be healthy, just have it in moderation and don't eat too much of it. Life is short too you know, if you're afraid of dying your whole life you're just going to live a boring a dull life. Fast food is good and convenient too!

There is no doubt that fast is a silent killer but people do take it when they are left with no option

 Anorexic people that eat only grass and smoke "grass" saying it's healthy and from times to times are at the hospital taking medicine and treatment because the fragile health conditions. It is fast because of the ingredients and how it is prepared. Since fastfood is prepared easily, it also has to be long lasting and because of that there are ingredients added for it to last couple of days or weeks that maybe harmful for the body.

I dont think people eat fastfood chain everyday because for me in my case even if i can afford to buy or to eat there everday i still dont manage to go just simply because i can have another choice other than fastfood chain in which i prefer to have healthy body and eat healthy foods.Its just a matter of self control.

There are just dangerous ingredients that fast food contains and the sad part here is we are all aware of how dangerous they are and yet we chose to ignore it because we seldom hear any tragedies or sickness involving consumption of fast food. But, we still need to be mindful about what we eat and how many we eat for a healthy lifestyle.

Fast Food Can Brain Your Brain Rotting

Recent studies have revealed that fast food can affect the brain negatively. The researchers found that those who regularly eat fast food have a risk of increasing insulin that can change the brain sususan.

In addition, fast food also contributes to the increased risk of dementia, caused by high levels of cholesterol and blood pressure.

As the amount of insulin in the body increases, our organs will stop responding to hormones that limit our ability to think and create memories.

With this fast changing phase . People are very busy, and they wanted to have everything instant. Thats why they are relying on fast food they dont prioritize healthy food they just wanted to have something to eat.

Fast foods are ready-to-eat foods served promptly after ordering." The more junk food you consume, the less likely you are to consume the essential nutrients that your body relies on. You know that junk food can hurt your health, but you may have not known about the effects of junk food on how your brain functions.
Most of those food might have got expired before the due date unknowingly the consumer will take in the harmful material into his system which will definitely leads to diseases and all kind of sickness

maybe fastfood can potentially kill us.......but i don't care... sometimes i like to eat fastfood..mostly when i have a lack of time.....i. enjoy it..... it can be really delicious.... of course i can't eat it every day.. ..

I do not think it's a problem with fast food. as long as we can keep our diet, and not excessive. because in the present day everyone needs an instant. as long as it fits the pattern, I do not think it will be a problem for us.

I must say, healthy food is as much additive. Once you get used to a light feeling in your stomach, clean skin and energetic body, you will not want to get back to junk food. The problem is healthy food is not that cheap.

Fastfood is known to be very harmful by majority of the popularity but for some reason they keep eating it. I dropped eating for a year now. Everyone should do so.

Not fastfood, but we can kill ourselves. Fastfood is not attacking people

 Nowdays, people eat a lot of fast food , this is of course really bad for health , I am happy that in my country.  we have delicious foods , not fast food:D

Well it may kill you if you eat only fastfood but it's okay to have a burger per week, that won't hurt you.

Not potentially but it would really kill us, I mean its like a small dosage of poison that you drink every time you eat fast food, this is why I'm trying not to eat in fast food as much as possible and eventually stop it for good. After all its called fast food for a reason.

if ur good at getting angry nothing will kill u except death

you are totally right. fast food is okay if not always but if you always eating fast food you will get sick. fast food is unhealthy food because of preservatives content.Fast food is highly processed and contains large amounts of unhealthy fats, more sugar, mostly carbohydrates and sodium. When this frequently replaces nutritious whole foods, it can lead to all sorts of bad health outcomes and make your life shorter. It's better to take balance eating nutritional foods and also you can eat fast food sometimes but take note should not "always".

Don't get ballistic. Fast food in normal quantities never pose a risk for your health. But if you are having five portions of French-fries and a few liters of Coke every day, then I can assure you that your kidneys and liver will be gone in 5 to 10 years. IMO, it is the fizzy drinks which comes with the fast food which causes the most damage. And here in India, the smallest size of Coke which you can get from your McDonald's outlet is about the size of a mini-swimming pool. That's why I always order either hot tea or ice tea along with my burgers. 

If we abuse our stomach it will happen in few moths wether fast food or not. Fast food is more on fast service offers that daily routine to eat with it can result to severe damage.

Well, I eat it twice a day 2
With health, everything is fine so far, I'm not complaining

Fast foods can harm our body though it is very delicious

Fast food I agree completely,playing to the body an unpleasant thing it infests the organism,any nonsense that is ruining your health,and it affects the gene level,which is very crappy,it's every man for themselves reset,to live with a healthy body and a sick

Fastfood is very tasty and cheap but it's unhealty food that cause many different problems with health. I'm trying not to eat this food because i'm working out.

i really love my Mc Dicks. Ill die eating it

Fast food really has a very bad effect on the body,not only do people swim in fat and lose their appeal,and strength,but also clog the body with fats harmful, cholesterol,and just poison themselves, reducing their life span,so of course it's bad food

Syndrome often eat fast food prone to "fast food", this kind of symptom is because people eat some junk food for a long time, leading to loss of appetite, the body is in a state of sub-health, and a lot of city people love to eat fast food, there is this symptom.

Most fast food, including drinks and sides, are loaded with carbohydrates with little to no fiber. When your digestive system breaks down these foods, the carbs are released as glucose (sugar) into your bloodstream. As a result, your blood sugar increases. Your pancreas responds to the surge in glucose by releasing insulin. Insulin transports sugar throughout your body to cells that need it for energy. As your body uses or stores the sugar, your blood sugar returns to normal.

There's just one cause of death: Life.

Live as it fits you, life can't be a condemnation where you've to be alive even if you are doing things that gives you no joy at all of living.

if someone eat balance fast food i think it won't harm his health.But many people eat so much fast food that can cause dead by many disease.

They're pretty much the same thing. Death seems more like a phase transition than anything else.

Street foods must more risky than fast food.  Sometimes street foods was located to some way that there are smoke specially at Philippines that there are too issue for street foods for some foods that not sure for cleanliness.  I approved that it was delicious but you can get unhealthy stomach and can kill your body easily and also some vendor put some chemicals for their foods.

We all know that it can potentially kill us. Most of us just don't care about its negative impact on our health, all we care about is eating what is delicious that's why there are many people who are struggling with their health conditions. It is really hard to prevent eating those kind of food since it's convenient especially to those people who are busy.  

Well, as I always say it's the matter of education. The only way out.
Very rarely I eat fastfood when I really need it to be fast and cheep. But even at such food courts there are healthy options.

Fastfoods really are potentially killing us.According to the research experts, fried chicken,instant noodles,red hotdogs, soft drinks and french fries are the top 5 killer foods. Take note that these are all present in almost all fastfood chains. So better be aware specially to our young children. We can't stop our children from eating those but at least from now on as precautions we can give them advices to prevent or minimize eating fast foods.

Fastfood,street food provebly killing us so think twice before eating junky food.theres a big posibilitiy where getting killed by these foods..we dont know how they prepaired before they serve it.

We all know that fast food is addictive even though we know that it may potentially harm our body. Most of us just don't care about its negative impact. It has potentially addictive substance that is most harmful for any human body. All we care about is eating what is delicious that's why there are many people struggling with their health conditions.

i like fast food but i take it in moderation because Fast foods can be very harmful considering the chemicals they use and we even not sure about the quality on how they processed and prepare

that's right, not all the times that fastfoods are bad to our health, same of it go through a legal process to proceed to their business.

It is true that the fast food chains use a lot of chemicals in their food items. But there is no proof that any of these chemicals are carcinogenic or toxic to the human body. For example, McDonalds is known to use tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) in the cooking oil.

I am aware that fasfood can potentially harm us but not all.there are some who served heathy meal , just choose right ,and beside its better to grab something fast than working with an empty stomach

It depends on what fast food choices are available. High-calorie foods can of course promote weight gain and soft drinks are a huge problem in the USA especially. On the other hand, lots of fast food chains such as Chipotle, Piada, Bibibop etc provide enough healthy options that a person can live entirely off "fast food" and still remain healthy.

I agree. Fast foods contain chemicals that prolong the food's life be it a vegetable salad or a hamburger. I don't know any fastfood restaurant yet that serves healthy dishes without chemicals (there might be some in other countries, I guess).

I am a person who likes fast food, I feel addicted and difficult to escape from this food even though I realize that fast food is very dangerous for my health. I am currently trying to reduce slow food consumption slowly

For me, eating a lot of fast food can kill us because of the ingredients for it, they're yummy that why people can't stop to eat and it is easy to go to eat.

We like fastfoods, the name suggest it self. Sometimes it would take a longer time to cook food so the best solution us to dine on fastfoods. And it is very encouraging because a person oftentimes sees it on commercial and because of these strategies we became hooked to eating it not even thinking whatever benefit or the opposite it could give.

 for me, not all the times that fastfoods are bad to our health, same of businesses should under go in a legal procedures. and they have an certificate that tells that the fastfoods that they selling is clean.

People eat fast foods due to travel reasons.When they travel and leave their homes,
they are prone to eat fast foods to get along the new environment.Sometimes, you may
not find the native cuisine of the traveller. Same reason for those who are involved in
emigration.Tight job schedules is also a contributory factor where people's nature of jobs
due to permit or allow them time to cook food for their consumption; they resort to fast food.

Most food being offered in fastfoods are not healty and are sometimes full of preservatives. Thus, it is not advisable to keep on consuming it as it might threaten our health.

It is really a junkfoods and bad for health.

Even in the mainstream restaurants, they use a of preservatives and artificial flavorings. So this is not something which is unique to the fast-food chains. If you want perfectly healthy food, then the only option is to cook at home, using organic food items.

If you eat daily in fastfood its possible you have diases or can kill you,, but if you eat once a month its ok,,cause the toxic or bad colesteror you eat in the fastfood are wash out in a week or even a month.

Fast foods can be very harmful considering the chemicals they use to grow some vegetables and some creams they add to the foods. This is one major cause of cancers.

Food served in fastfood restaurants contains a lot of fat and preservatives that are not for our bodies. Hence, we should consume it with moderation.

It can if it is always eating  this kind of food. Fast-food many of this food is not good in our health because of the chemical made of this food.. you can eat vegetable as long as you want than eating fast-food that can destroy your health

People eat fast food out of convenience, habit, and perhaps indeed addiction. A great deal of processed food is very addictive. But honestly, it is not fast food that is the problem but rather processed food. Eating an apple is "fast", it takes no preparation. Also not a wholegrain sandwhich. But these are rather different to fries or burgers. How to overcome it? We need better education about what is healthy and not (also to include health risks related to consuming meat and dairy, which is so understated in public discourse)

It is easy food but it is not good to have it everyday as it is not good for health.

Fast-food is bad for health and one must completely avoid it. They will slowly kill you.

Once a lamp had fallen on me in McDonalds, so it can really kill you))

Almost everything that we would consume could potentially kill us,
From the polluted air ,Smoking cigarette ,Eating salty food and also sweet like chocolate and liquor so there is nothing new to it.
Polluted air and smoking cigarette could harm your lungs ,While eating salty food would harm your kidney and in sweets and chocolate would cause you diabetes ,While liquor would harm your liver.

Fast food isn't really good,  it does kill us with too much spice which is dangerous to our health

yes, it can. the factory of fastfood has grown to the stage, when meat and bread, vegetables aren't real. bad food influences our body, surely, that can cause many unneccesarry problems

if we will continue to lavishly and unmindful of eat such kind of food. consider how many secret ingredient they have in each food they offer which do not really know all we care is it looks and its taste which is pleasing and affordable and easy to cook for us  regardless of how it bring in the future.. is as if.. eat now and suffer later..we are to be responsible to whatever food we intake so that our body may prolong healthy and strong just as we desire to live with the same desire.

is not surprising that eating fast food can your life short,,based on the DOH the life expanded of the human today has a big difference unlike to the old human before due to the process food regularly eating,,and the kind of food we can eat something,,eating process food can totally damage to your health from head to toe,

in the modern day today ,,eating fast food is not a big deal despite of evils effect to the human body because is cheaper an affordable to buy unlike to the healthy food aside from that ,almost fast food chain cannot be really detail the bad  side effect to the body instead we hipe or advertise them product could be taste deliciously only,,even we know that process food has a little bet of nutrients,and harmful to the body or to just killing you softly,
 

absolutely yes ,that fast food eating habitually can source of some illness today, nutritionally speaking the high calories of fast food are accompanied by low nutritional content too much in take of body well begin lack of emunisystem to fight from dreaded desease like colon cancer,kidney stone,mental health heart desease that cause you maybe instanly kill

Yeep, you are absolutely right, it can kill us directly because their content, i think we must hurry make green habit to our life, not mean we must be vegan, but atleast we can reduce the bad effect from fast food,
Im lucky here in asia, we are not familiar with fast food, we still have eat green plant as tradition,

We die but it's a question of when. By doing so, you are just making it happen soon. You just need discipline, exercise and know what you eat. We just don't intake whatever we want but rather we should balance it out. It's okay to eat some unhealthy foods as long as we balance it out with healthy ones.

If you do your regular exercise and eat at least two healthy meals a day than you are saved.

Yeah it's bad. Although I found that even not eating fast food, but dining out a lot can be almost as bad. What I'm trying for sometime now is intermittent fasting, and I love it. It's not a fad diet, and you don't have to change your habits that much. You have an 8 hour window during the day in which you eat, and 16 hours where you don't eat. It may sound scary but it's not that difficult to do actually. You're asleep for 8 hours, which leaves 16 hours in which you need to take first or second 8 and plan to eat only then. You can eat multiple times, and don't have to make yourself eat only super healthy stuff, but you can eat as you normally do. Agreed, if you eat a lot of fast food every day, that needs to change regardless, but intermittent fasting can be a first step. Google it for more info :)

If you are a fast food junkie than your life span will surely be reduced.

indeed with fast food can kill us and not good for our health. but as long as you do not overdo it and balance with healthy food and do sports I do not think it's a problem we eat fast food.

The  worst thing ever discovered was the fast food and it can surely kill us soon.

Actually,not potentially, fast food chain foods can really kill us. People still eat these kinds of foods, I think, because they are not well informed about the diseases these foods cause at big,early and continuous consumption. It is really alarming that families choose to eat outside of their houses instead of having a more intimate conversation over meals.

Not really if you are not there everyday. All things might be dangerous if you already surpassed the maximum limit. So it's not really the food that kills us but the attitude that is within us that count most in killing us slowly. If an advertisement says drink moderately, but you drink the whole lot thing, so you are making your own mess. If one says, smoking can harm your health, so why there are a lot of smokers out there??? So, basically it is not the food or the place or other things that will kill us. We are the culprit of our own grave.

We eat fastfood because it is very convenient especially for the employees who dont have time to eat breakfast at home. Fastfood have so many calories and fats, these things can make us fat or obese that could lead to heart disease, fatty liver or highblood. If we get these diseases, yes we can die. We know that eating fastfood is not good for our health, but we dont care because what we think about is it is convenient and cheap.

True, too much intake of fast food can cause canser to us, because fast food chains foods containing a lot of chemical, it can harm our body if we abuse our body to take fast foods.

I eat in fast food but not always, Fast food is a menace that has caught the fancy of the people in our consumerist society, young and old alike. Ask a child about their favourite food item and pat comes a reply, “burger”. To say that kids being naive fall into the trap of unhealthy food habits would be a fallacy as the fast food joints are always loaded with mature, grown adults. In spite of numerous awareness campaigns organised by social welfare and health groups, we, as adults, often find ourselves succumbing to the temptations of that perfect pizza and even better cheeseburger with fries on the side. Blaming it on the modern society that we are living in, which leaves us with limited time is merely an escape route and a practice of self-delusion. We all know that fast food is bad for us and developing a proper habit of eating fast food is exactly the kind of nightmare our parents are always scared of. Be it obesity, heart problems or even monetary issues, fast food comes with a full package of problems curated specially by the devil, as it were, to destroy you slowly and gradually. If often you fall short of logical arguments and reasons to motivate yourself or others around you to stop that harmful habit of eating fast food, read on the list that follows where we have tried to delineate the major reasons why you should absolutely avoid eating fast food.

Initially places like McDonald’s were never meant to provide healthy food options, and most likely, was never intended to become anyone’s primary food source. Today. however, many people developed a habit to eat it on regular basis, and the regularity of such behavior is what can potentially kill us, yes

It can potentially kill us like a lot of things in life. It's just a question of balance. You are not supposed to eat at fastfood everyday. But I live in Europe and i don't feel that fast food is a threat for public health. It's not something that we are used to ( I mean eating at a fast good very often)

Food fast food like McDonald's, I am neutral. You can eat sometimes but not every day, although if you want something you can every day. I'm not used to it. On my figure are not affected, so I think it's not so adversely affect us.

Consumption of fast food in everyday life can save time, but not the right foods to meet the nutritional needs because of high fat. Excessive consumption of fast food causes negative effects on nutritional status and health. Fast food can still be consumed occasionally and the key should not be eaten redundant and is not a primary choice in everyday diet. The key is how often we consume and the kind of fast food we order. One thing to remember, although the type of fast food that is selected is the healthiest, but still contain substances that are not healthy for the body.

This food chain has lots of carbohydrates which are not good for our health.
Well we don't need to go to any fast food as at home we are exposed to it, too many preservatives are in the food all over the world now.
That is why the lifespan of humanity is getting younger.

One of the basic need of an individual is food, they satisfy themselves by eating. Too much eating is unhealthy so as too less of it. You can never be an addict with eating it just simply means you're satisfying your needs. Eating in fast food chain is different though, they are primarily built for fast and convenient eating not for daily meals.

The control which rely on the person, by simply thinking you needed much healthier food.

Exactly it can kill us.

No, Sometimes I must prefer to eat in our home rather than always eating in the fast food. But I admit I am always craving in fries, burger or chicken of my favorite fast food is my favorite .  Although, fast food has a negative impact to your health.

 Fast food chain is one of a bigger industry around the word. It is also convient to eat in fast food. However in fast foods it is not healthy to eat. Its fine to eat in your favorite fast food but limit yourself to do it because there is a high preservative added in the  food of fast food

Fast food is the worst food for our healthy.
I love fast food, but I use it only as a treat.

it can sick us by many ways it is delicious but has less nutritions

Yes. I have stomach problems. If I eat fast food i usually feel badly.

It's not about addiction it's nicceseity . In my side I eat in fast food because I'm in hurry sometimes like when your tired last night and you wake up late but you need to rush to your job again and when you cook you'll.be late , if you don't eat it will affect your performance because your stomach is complaining, thats why I just go to fast food and eat then run to my department...

All the instant including fast food isn't healthy for health. But it can not be denied that nowadays almost everywhere provides fast food rather than healthy food, it causes would not want to consume fastfood every day. I eat fast food if it is true under certain circumstances. For me,  fast food is delicious but its kill us.

actually your laziness to cook a healthy meal for yourself is causing you to eat fast food thereby making you obese. Don't blame fast food for your obesity, you did that to your self.
eating fatty and sweet food once in a while won't make you obese or diabetic but doing it regularly will.
Note that the fast food does not make food for only you but for lots of people.
so you coming to buy their food 5 to 10 times a day will only make them believe that their customers have increase and thus they make more provision to satisfy all their customers. ::) :o   

Fastfoods, as name suggests are designed for immediate orders. Foods are cooked as hasty as possible or the foods are cooked or processed a day before it is available for order, preserved before that day. And this way of cooking is not as healthy as those homemade, since the food there is managed by our parents or ourselves. I'm not saying that food at home is always healthy and fastfoods are not, I'm saying that you know well the food if it is homemade, it is on your own if you want healthy foods or not while in fastfoods, you have no choice but to eat your order without knowing it is processed.

Fast food makes you fat.

A 15-year study of over 3,000 people found that eating fast food is linked to weight gain and insulin resistance. In others words, fast food makes you fat and increases your risk of type 2 diabetes. You probably know this already. But here’s something you may not know.

Fast food doesn’t really taste that good.

What’s better: a fast food burger or one you cook that’s straight off the grill? For my money, I’d rather eat a delicious grass fed beef burger that I cooked than a crappy fast food pseudo-burger.

I agree with the fact that fast food is unhealthy food, although now there is quite a tasty and healthy fast food - for example, sandwiches, sushi and so on. Bad fast food in the classical sense - it has a lot of trans fats.

everything can kill you if you eat it overmuch. If fastfood became your regular food for breakfast, lunch and dinner well..it's very bad. But if you eat it several times per month for example, everything will be great

Fastfoods are real danger for health. Due to their fat content, fast foods can cause various serious health issues such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Big corporations are not interested in profit's decrease so that fastfood has large-scale advertising, lower price and chemically enhanced taste. I think that the best way to change people's fastfood addiction is alteration of mass media advertising first of all. Make an advertising of health food and effects of constant eating of fastfood.

I believe that everything should put into moderation. There's nothing wrong in eating fast food but we should know our limits. Going out with our family for at least a single meal in a week would be fun but we should put in mind that we should know when to stop and focus kn eating healthy foods.

I can state yes, in the end. Its not terrible to eat in fastfood but rather you ought as far as possible, you can't do it ordinary of your life. You won't not see the outcome now, but rather as time passes by and your are getting more seasoned then perhaps the outcome will come up and its past the point of no return. I read a ton of posts viewing this thing and however much as could reasonably be expected I will control myself to make it a propensity.

People still it junk food because it's tasty, nutritious and cheap (at least in US). What can they do? At least consult with a psychologist because it could be an addiction.

Junkfood aint really "nutritious", not in the right way anyway...

I always stay away from it.

I think it is true. the instant something would not be good to use especially if taken too often. avoid foods like this to live longer and avoid the dangerous diseases.

I agree fast food isn't really good for our health, there is excess seasoning in it and lots of additives which are not ready friendly to the body

Although food can be a big factor in your overall health, genetics are much more important and there is nothing you can do to change them. Smoking for instance, how come there are people that smoke for 40 years and never get lung cancer and people that never smoke get lung cancer? Genetics. It's the same with food, even if you eat the absolute best foods all your life, you could still get cancer or diseases or a heart attack even when you are young if you have bad genetics.

Maybe,Because Fast food products are often rumored to cause a variety of health problems. Ingredients that are artificial, high in sugar or fat are not meant to be eaten on a regular basis. Consuming these ingredients regularly can lead to health issues including heart disease, diabetes and cancers. Being aware of these effects and disadvantages of fast food is essential to determining whether fast food is safe to include in your diet, particularly if you suffer from heart or digestive issues already.
Everything that is excessive is wrong. Eat moderately. Eat once in a while not everyday to prevent diseases.

Fast food looks good and convenient but contains unpredictable effects on your health. It is sad today for the Vietnamese youth that these dishes are becoming more and more popular

We cannot do anything to stop people from eating fast food.  People are get use to it. When people are busy, they have no time to cook, they tend to buy fast food which is they think is the easiest and fastest way.  Even if people know the risk of eating fast food, they don't care.  What is important is they satisfy their cravings. People will only stop eating this kind of food if they are already suffering from any kind of diseases brought by this food.  Its too late to realize what they have done to their bodies.

Fast food replacing traditional meals will be lacking in vitamins and minerals. Because fast foods are high in energy, high in fat, high in salts but less vegetables, they can not balance nutrients.

People always want everything to be instant. That is why people choose to eat fastfood because they don't need to wait long for the food to be served. It is also delicious even though they know that it is healthy. Sometime people vhoose to eat delicious food than healthy food.

I agree. I have tried to live eating fastfood everyday because I was too busy at my work. I got fat invjust two weeks and I felt so weak. The preservative on fastfood are the ones causing the food to be unhealthy. I think its much bettter if we just cook  in large amount rhen put them in the fridge. Just reheat if it's time to eat. Live healthy guys.

Well that's what makes it really appealing. It's quick and its delicious. People act by the moment and very seldom considers the future lol. We are aware of the dangers of fastfood in our health yet most choose to be negligent until the effects start to be felt

Actually, all fastfood are actually filthy in fact if you enter their kitchens it is likely that even though they have sanitizes or anything else in the worker it will do it. The poor we can not actually see the work done so we do not know whether or not they have something in our food

Not at all fastfood can kill us but we need to see to it that all the requirements are followed to avoid such a problem to the people, the food it is been clean and facilities, employee are clean health is very important all of us.

Fast foods are fat filled crunchy, munchy and may be tasty food but strikes most venomous on the digestive tract.

I am a gym guy and for me such a oily and spicy foods are really a potential killer

Not really if we eat it with limits. I believe that if we know how to balance things in our lives , having fun through the foods that we eat sometimes is still a stress reliever. We should eat healthy food most of the time because our body need it but it is just fine to have fun sometimes.

We always call fast food because we do not have time to eat a reasonable meal. However, fast food contains many harmful substances.

I mean it's garbage that sets off your brain in a certain way. the best thing that has happened to me is realizing it's not very tasty. I don't know if the quality has gone down (for sure it must have?) but all of that trash is far less good then what I can make at home. It's like drinking sunny delight when you think you're having juice (which doesn't hold merit since juice is a scam also).

Fastfood can potentially kill us because mostly of in any fastfood are preservative

Everything around us can kill us. Only fast food kills delicious. I love fast food. This is for me like a drug.
 just try, to the best of my ability, to eat as healthy as I can.

All the food around us have the potential to kill us if we eat them excessively.

it does not matter if we eat fast food as long as it's according to the rules and do not overdo it. because something that is excessive is bad for our health. so long as we do not overdo fast food will not be a problem.

That is right. It is very addictive because the tastes are really good (no doubt), aside from that people are now lazy that is why they prefer to buy at fast food since it is ready to eat at all at an affordable price.Fast food can harm our bodies and we don’t know what are the ingredients are in there. If it can cause cancer, diabetes and other diseases that are deadly. I think, people who are working are eat more on fastfood chains. Its quick and convenient for them to eat there. But its very harmful if you eat there everyday. What i suggest is they should have meal plans. Prepare them for a week and they are ready to eat.

Fast food is not the best, it's better you cook that delicious meal yourself rather then buying fast food everyday.. Fast food is harming most of our people.. Some people are lazy in cooking anyway I can't blame them some are brought up that way...

I do not think that there is much harm in this. you need to monitor your physical condition and lifestyle. and eat periodically fast food.

I used to eat fast-food but the day my neighbour told me how these foods are cooked, that day i stopped without thinking about going back to eat it. but for others who may not want to see the side effect, to them there are a few reasons why they eat fast food.
1.   They are under the impression that it actually is the most economical way to feed themselves. (It’s actually cheaper and faster to buy ingredients for food at a grocery store, and take them home and cook them than it is to sit, wait in line. Purchase food, eat it and leave. You lose more money, and the time spent making that money is gone along with the food you just ate).
2.   They don’t know any other way. Put the food in front of them, and what choice will they think they have? There’s the sign. There’s the food. We’re hungry. Let’s eat.
3.   They’re afraid to try something else. If something works, we don’t want to try different things. We’re afraid. Afraid that it’ll be worse. Why change when you can just keep getting the same thing that you already know works for you? You know what you're getting. There’s comfort in that.
4.   They don’t care. Sometimes people just don’t care, and they are too tired to care. There are so many other things to think about. Food is almost a thing that privileged people get to worry about. When there’s drugs, crime, abuse, and neglect in the mix. Thinking about what’s healthy is the last thing on your to do list sometimes. You just need to take the kids to get something to eat, and you don’t have time to cook.
5.   They feel it’s a way of displaying their class or wealth: Off the bigger on the street or the homeless man who does not have a dime to his name cannot think of buying a fast-food. Some people see it as a way of showing off that they are rich.  But before in continue in such orientation, below are the risk.
1.   Most fast-food if filled with sodium and sodium consumption causes headache.
2.   Carb used in cooking not grease can cause acne especially in foods like French fries, hamburger, buns etc. and potatoes chip can lead to break out of acne.
3.   Carbs and sugar in fast food and processed food can increase acids in your mouth. These acids can break down tooth enamel. As tooth enamel disappears, bacteria can take hold, and cavities may develop.
4.   Cholesterol present in these fast-foods can lead to two deadly health problems: heart attack and stroke.
5.   We are also aware of the weight gain challenges associated with fast-food also known as junk food. Because it is so convenient to just walk or drive into a any desire fast food and pick it and, eat on the go. The convenience it presents as some people claim is a big problem of weight gain in individuals.

Fastfoods are very timely and relevant in today's fast-pacing world. People nowadays are so busy that they couldn't find anymore time to cook fresh and 'real foods' or I may say, natural foods. It is considered as an hassle-free alternative for those who are on-the-go. People are also get hooked by these fast-foods because of its cheap price comparing to restaurants. It also became part of our culture when it come to celebrating special occasions. With this, many people do consume fastfoods. Not knowing that it can potentially kill us. It is because fastfoods are instant and junk foods that contains large amount of preservatives, too much oil, sugar, and cholesterol that contributes in the growth of diseases and illnesses. It does not have any nutrients at all well in fact, it only makes us unhealthy. Thus, potentially killing us.

Of course! Fastfood is a very harmful food. I think that you can eat fastfood once a month, not more. Otherwise, there may be huge problems with health and overweight! Fastfood really kills our generation.

Why there is so much panic around this theme? Don't eat a lot and everything will be fine

Yes im the one of them, everytime we go to town or everytime we are lazy to cook our food we are going to fast food to eat, we cant help it because its easy and the foods are yummy :D
Even me i dont know how to quit this addiction because people usually eat at fast food.

No the word doesn't implies for every of the fast foods out there, some are made with intense care and hygiene so they are nice

What I see is due to people schedule and being very busy nowadays, they don't have any time to prepare proper food. As well so many people prefer to eat fast food because it taste good regardless they knew that it's going to hurt them.

yes...why not! people become lazy for this. now a days people going to fastfood shop or eat this for save time.but it is very harmful our health.

OK... Let me ask this question. How many people were killed as a result of fast-food consumption in 2017? There are around 2 billion people around the world, who regularly consume fast-food. I'd like to know how many of them lost their lives as a result of this habit.

Fast food is likely to cause obesity for those who tend to abuse them is very high, high in fat and cholesterol, many fast foods also have high blood glucose index, high salt content and substance preservatives. If you use a lot of fastfoods, it will bring high levels of salt and preservatives, which can damage the heart and kidneys, causing high blood pressure.

Fast food will lack of vitamins and minerals. Because fast foods are high in energy, high in fat, high in salts but less in vegetables, they can not balance nutrients. Frequent use of fast food is more likely to be overweight, obese, prone to fat disorders in the blood. Eat more fast foods, but they are deficient in micronutrients, which means that fast foods are unhealthy foods. Fast foods are rich in energy. Foods that are fried from high fat saturated fats are not good for health, especially not good for cardiovascular due to high salt content.

Yeah right, fast food is very trend in the world including in my country. Many people eat fast food continuously. Why do people still eat this food everyday? Busyness is a major factor that makes fast food much-loved, especially in urban areas. We can eat this food anywhere and anytime so many people prefer this food. My advice to quit the fast food addiction to always make your own food or if it is really busy is better to order healthy food (like catering), from the health side it will be better. I include people who do this, I always order healthy food at a catering place for breakfast and lunch in the office.

Fast food are often cooked fried, it is the easiest way to cook food. These restaurants aims to cater large amount of customers in which they earn the name of fast food restaurants.

Compared to other restaurants, most of their ingredients are used with preservatives and is produced in factories, which in my opinion makes it unhealthy. Ingredients should be as fresh as possible and cooked appropriately where in most fast food chains are seldom practiced.

Well if you look at it in that way everything that we consume could kill us,
It just depend on us on how are we going to protect our body and how could we stay healthy,
The air and water is so polluted and it is bad for our health,
But we don't have a choice we need it in order to live.

Fast food has entered our lives mainly because it takes so less time to prepare. Everyone is busy these days and thus no one has the time for cooking traditional food items which take good amount of time.

Yes, people still eat these foods everyday because time does not allow them to prepare their own dishes in the normal way. We can not quit fast food when life forces us to accept it.

t's just very convenient, ate and ran to do your hard work next. the world is moving very fast and sometimes we do not have time to chew our food, as new difficulties are already knocking on our doors. it is a reward for our developing world of consumers ... :( :( :(

100% in agreement to this. Fast-food items such as burgers and fries and other stuff are loaded with high amount of sodium which is bad for the kidney, high in sugar which can bring about obesity and diabetes and also high in fat -- this according to studies are linked to most type of cancers.

Fastfood can actually kill us if the food and the place are not clean, the food and the place and the employee should be clean so that they could not kill their costumers good health is always be prioritize to the costumer.

Studies already proved that fast food has visible negative effects in our health and well being but people are still into it. It is because not all of us are knowledgeable and awared enough about these effects. The only thing that a typical person knows is that it satisfies their tummy so why it is good for them. As long as they believe that they are getting what they have to from what they paid, those negative effects will be set aside. I think the only way for those people who eats fast food excessively for them to minimize it is making them awared about these negative effects. This might help to start a person to lower the consumption of these foods. I can suggest to them that they don't primarily need to remove their habit of eating. Having schedule of eating it should be consider like what I did, I try to balance eating in fast foods and restaurants. It is evident that fast food causes negative effects so the only thing that we can do is to make ourselves awared about these that will lead in lowering and quitting the addiction in eating these fast foods.

everybody, let's go to the gym!

most likely very correct, because we never know what materials are used to make the fast food. whether many contain chemicals or not that can damage our body tissues such as cholesterol, preservatives and many others. different if we make our own food, we know the food is clean and healthy to consumed or eaten.

Many things kill us every day
But fast food has some chemical elements which cause addiction

No. It will kill you only if you have it ten times in a day.

Maybe or maybe not. If all you eat is fast food then it might just kill you.

Probably. I think these days any food has the potential to kill us.

Anything can happen and everything can kill us not just junk food.

but it's so tasty :D

They will later than sooner. People eating junk are abusing their body.

Fastfood is big problem for people without free time and money. The biggest problem it's very cheap food that means quality isn't high and than we just easting poison.
