Hello..=) Yes I do! Although I know this is not so healthy for me well I have no choice especially with my shifting schedule at work.=( When I'm with my friends or with my family on a date too! Their food choices are mostly appealing to the kids- chicken, spaghetti, fries, sundae and a whole lot more..mouthwatering =)
We are now in fast paced living so do our way of eating as well..though sometimes everything instant is not healthy..but still we can't avoid to have it on our day to day life..=)
How about you guys do often eat on fastfood chains??? Why and why not? You can also share your experiences..=)
Thanks and God Bless to all..=)

I also do! :) I know it's not healthy and it has more calories content than the normal food cooked at home. But I really can't help it. hehe. Especially if there is no food to cook at home, my last resort is to buy foods on fast food chain. Besides, it really tastes good. :D

Yes I do and we do. My family most of the time go dine out or have lunch out. They always they do that one, together with my son. Especially my son who loved eating outside it makes him eat more.
Once my son requested to eat outside or go to his favorite fastfood. My parents could not say NO to him. So they are usually eating outside and eat in the fastfood. No wonder my son is getting bigger because the food that he intakes are not that healthy.

Hi ada8may21!=)
Wow family bonding for me is so cool!=) Yeah almost all child tend to have a good appetite when it comes to fast food..I understand that when a child requests for something especially food it's really hard to say no..lol=) Well just balance his food with the nutritious ones..once or twice a month of fast food I think won't hurt his health..=)
Thanks and Happy mylotting..=)

I used to be a regular customer of Mcdonald's before. However, when I have decided to lose weight and due to diabetes, i have stopped going to fast foods chains (Mcdonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Chowking, Wendy's, Burger king, etc). eating fast food isn't heathy at all... it's fattening and can cause a lot of diseases... but it's okay to satisfy your cravings once every two months... :)

Oh sorry to hear about your diabetes..yeah fast food offers alot of carbohydrates and cholesterol that may worsen your situation..it's really better for you to stop eating on them..=)
Take care of your health always..=)
Thanks and Happy mylotting..=)

Hey khaeza :)
Yep take-aways are bad for you but who can resist a burger now and again. it would more than likly would be bad if you were to eat nothing but takeouts so treating yourself to a big greasey kebab once in a while aint all bad :)

My family tends to eat out alot at fast food restaurants. I like all the fast food places. It does not matter to me which one it is. I think they are a quick meal when you are in a hurry but not that healthy. Now I know that they are getting healthier offering salads and different ways to serve meals but it is not all that healthy. I know a little girl that all her dad buys her for dinner is fast food and I have noticed that she is gaining weight. She does not like to eat at home if she stays at our house. I think fast food is ok sometimes but not all the time.

Hi marriedman111399=)
First of all i want to say that I like your name lol! Yes I agree with you it's a family place I should say..and we really can't avoid those mouthwatering foods that they offer ( I'm guilty as well ) the key is to balance and limit everything..=)
Poor girl I hope she can learn to have a balance meal it's not so healthy for her age to depend to that kind of food everyday..=(
Thanks and happy mylotting..=)

since learned that fast food categorized as junk food, I'm never order or eat again, except in certain limits, such as during lunch hour at the office or because my children want that's

Yes sometimes i like to eat fast food when i want to change my taste.. but i think every time it is not good for health.. and also reasonable for major problems of health.. so i try it very very rarely...

Thanks a lot not anymore. hahaha! My husband and I both used to eat almost everyday in a fast food chain for a year from breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our usual meal is consisted of burger, fries, soda, spaghetti, fried chicken and pizza. This lifestyle is so convenient that it was fine for us. However, there came a time that we decided to finally prepare our meals at home. First reason is that eating everyday in a fast food chain or calling for delivery is not practical and healthy.
We finally decided to eat healthy foods since we had our first baby. We don't want our children to grwo up with that kind of lifestyle. It was convenient but not a healthy one especially for a growing child. We now go to the grocery and wet market once a week to buy one weeks supply of food. It turned out that this kind of lifestyle is actually more convenient rather than going to a fast food chain or ordering a food for delivery. I'm enjoying cooking and preparing meals both for me and my husban. We also get to choose the food that we want to eat unlike before that the option is just limited to the available menu in a fast food restaurant.

I did eat a lot in fast food chains many times last week. It was suppose to be something that my husband and I shouldnt do cause we are working on a tight budget but there were things that happened last week that calls for a celebration so we get to eat many times in the fast food chains. Its something we are not going to do again in the future. lol

Yes i do often eat on fastfood chains especially at my work. We dont have any canteen wherein we can buy foods. Theres no restaurant thats nearby our office thats why we have no choice but to order some food on fasfood chain.
But if i have a choice then i wouldnt eat on a fastfood chain. We all know that its not a healthy food what they serve. There lots of people who become obese and got sick coz of eating such food like burgers and fries. But i dont blame them, dont get me wrong.
