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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
Even me i dont know how to quit this addiction because people usually eat at fast food.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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).

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

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.
