i think if you will not do it everyday, it will not be giving a lot of trouble to your health. we do eat fastfood when there are occasions like birthdays, graduations, etc. to save time in preparation and even in expenses.

but don't you think it would only be expensive to eat at those fastfood stores frequently? me myself does not really like the idea of eating almost everyday fastfood. i would rather eat in the house so it will save me some extra money.

Fast food are not healthy because they contain a high quantity of salt, saturated fats and sugar (in the sauce and soft drinks). These can add stress to our bodies and we are prone to getting heart disease, diabetes and clogged arteries. I eat fast food once in a while because I feel tired and sick after eating a large meal such as the Mega Big Mac meal. Practically it does not contain a well rounded nutrition that our bodies need. Besides it is known that eating meat will have a higher chance of getting cancer. I would suggest stay away from fast food as much as you can. Do not follow the trend and consider the harmful health effects they can bring.

Hi, maryantilok. Since I have has my own place to live, I cook most of the time. Every blue moon my husband will go out and buy a big dinner for us all. But, I usually will cook. I don't like to eat so much of fast food. I know that eating it too much is not good at all.

Yes, I like to ea fast food..Whenever me and my friends get time we will go in a group and will have a great time by eating all varieties...I have heard that that it is not healthy but I don't eat daily..so I just eat thrice a week along with my friends..so i think it will not affect more if anything bad is there..I have seen many people still having their dinner in fast food , they are not affected and really they are healthy....so as long it is good..it is good for us...but anytime home based foods are the best...

I like to eat at fast food chains too since I don't cook. But my mom always reminds me that eating at fast food is really not a good habit, it's not good for my health.
Now, I'm trying to cook myself..

I'm in college so I tend to eat a good bit of fast food. I try to put variety in my diet by eating different things and trying to be health conscious. There is a Wendy's and a Chick-fil-A on my campus and I try not to eat at them more than once a week. I don't see fast food as a health risk for me because I exercise and try to stay healthy. I feel like its okay in moderation.

As far as I am concerned, I do not like to eat the fast food at all in my daily life,which can do some harm to our body health. So I seldom eat th efast food in the resaurant. But some times I will just eat the fast food ,which I can eat so quickly ,in order to save me a lot of time .Then I can spare the time to do other things.Have a nice day.

who doesn´t like to eat fast food from time to time???!
I do too, eveb it ends up always in me feeling hungry and sick....how funny....but while eating it´s fun, too
so I think there is nothing wrong to enjoy fast food from time to time, but make sure it does not become regular in your life
because we all must be honest.....going to "mommies house" and eat her self cooked meal is way better then any fast food...isn´t it???!!

It's tasty for sure, I love McDonald's Cheeseburgers, they have just the perfect taste for my preference. Nevertheless they don't look as healthy as a nice homemade sandwich - everything is fried and pretty salty, that's why I'm trying not to eat their food everyday. Fried food increases the chance of getting cancer, so you should be careful not to consume such too often - should it be bought from a fast food store or being homemade.

Hi,
yes, I think that fast food is not good for the ehalth. consuming too much of it at regualr interval will make one fatty, as normally fast food has high fat content.
Buts its taste really very good, so its difficult to control temptation to have those burgers or noodles or alike. But I control the number of time i had fast food.

Yes I am always in fast food, before when I was still living alone. I always eat my breakfast and dinner in the fast food. Because there is no one will cook for me and once I get home I would like to go to sleep
But since I am living with my parents, its my mother who always cook. So I can only eat out once a week or maybe 3 times a month.

once in a while. for us its like family bonding-going out and eating to some fast food or restaurant.
i guess its bad when you eat fast food everyday especially those calorie-filled hamburger and fries.

Just eat the food you like when you are young.If you want to eat just find a restaurant .but frequently,we eat it since it is convient.
Fast food is bad because it is not nutrition.if we have time to cook ,we would not choose the fast food. There are many recipes all over the world,such as Chinese food,Korea food,etc. so you have a lot of dishes to choose when you have time to enjoy the food.
