Why am I still alive?

That's because you're a soldier, Taron. And it's not that bad if you don't just sit around all day.

^But all he does is sit around all day xD

It amazes how some of you seem to think fast food only equals weight and you can easily ignore the effects as long as you have a high metabolism or run. Protip: you can't.

I have pizza about once a week. Not a big fan of burgers, but I'll have one occasionally.

I've honestly stayed away for like a month now. It's pretty awesome.

In my opinion homemade food is way better!

The tattoo keeps you alive.

Behold the power of Sneasal.

Honestly if you can get over the three week hump, you don't miss it too bad.

I guess I eat fast food once every 2-3 weeks.

McDonalds Angus burger with Super sized Fries and Powerade.

Dayummmm goodddd

During the school year I went out to eat lunch once a week but only went to fast food (Wendy's) every 2 or 3 weeks, the rest of the time I got Subway or a bagel sandwich from the local bagel place. I enjoy a good burger and fries, but we have places that serve them that are healthier.

Fast food plays a key role in food-related diseases across the country. In America alone, about 5,000 die of food-related illness per year, and about 75 million become affected with some sort of food-related disease annually.

I don't have a problem with the term fast food, but how the business is run is atrocious. The large majority of meats in fast food derive from cows that are herded together in horrible conditions and fed corn as a diet substitute. The meat is processed junk really. Have you guys looked into the patty once you took a bite out of it?
What saddens me is that so many people gorge on the stuff and have it for every meal. Worse, a large portion of that percentage of people know it's unhealthy for them but they continue to do so.
I for one eat very little fast food, and when I do, it's usually a small pack of fries and a soft drink. I prefer to cook, and I believe that that is the very problem. For us as a society, it is much more convenient to have things handed to us quickly and on the go rather than take some time and cook on the stove. Many people picture cooking food as a rather strenuous and lengthy task when most meals require little culinary education and take about thirty minutes to prepare, at maximum.
What the fast-food chain should be doing is find a way to serve meat from free-range, grass-fed cows and organically grown crops at about the same cheap price and prep time. With enhanced grills and cooking equipment, this is very possible.
But, alas, companies like McDonalds are more concerned about pumping millions of dollars into renovation projects in order to make their localities look more like Starbucks instead of upgrading the quality of their menu.

Women Lie, Men Lie, The numbers don't lie Phil.

That's very interesting, Phil

Damn, Phil. McDonalds doesn't care if you get fat, they want to make money and will continue to do that. Also, McDonalds pumps a bunch of money into their charity, The Ronald McDonald House Charities, which help people save money on hotel costs and healthcare. They aren't all that bad.

It's not McDonaldssesees responsibility to make people watch what they eat. It's very clear McDs isn't good to have all day everyday. It's dumb people who continue to abuse it & their bodies, then complain that fast food made them fat that give the joints a bad rap.

If you weren't a moron, you wouldn't have eaten it and gotten fat. It's not like the food crammed itself down your throat >>

^^What he said, it's said people have to blame someone else for their own problems. But yet I'm not the judging type.

If people want to cram themselves and blame someone other than their selves is their own chiz.

Mcdonalds help make the lives of ill children everyday thanks to them and their customers.

My Mcdonalds is promoting a healthier image by making sure that the happy meals have a choice of cherry tomatoes and carrot sticks instead of just fries. Apple, pineapple, yogurt and actimel for desert, no chocolate or icecream.

But the parent rarely order them, easier to stuff their kids with fried crap.

We have 3 different large salads and if you notice in the UK for example, their products are more chicken related then beef as it is leaner than beef.

Remember your metabolism burns fat, not saturated fat, that is slowly building up in your arteries and when it clogs...bam. I know a girl that weighs the same as me (50kg) and she has really high cholersterol. Why? cos it runs in her family. She eats healthy too.

So...dont be complacent cos you can eat and not put on weight.

Thats nice Nikki!

Eugh... I don't like fast food. Most of the time, it's all way too salty.

I give exception to Taco Bell. Their food is worth the price but I eat it only when I'm with friends who eat it. Most of the time, though, we'll go out to a restaurant or otherwise chill at Panera.
