Topic: Fastfood can potentially Kill Us! - page 16. (Read 1812 times)

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.

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.

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.

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

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 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.

Fast food is terrible.

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.

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.

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.

IT will kill you if you consume everyday.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.
