Is fast food bad for health?

i think anything can be bad for you if you eat alot or too much of it. i think if you eat fast food occassionally then it doesnt do you any harm

Some fast food establishments do have some nutritious foods to offer. The same can't be said of all of the. Fast food is fun and convenient. it isn't something we need every day. That wouldn't be a wise choice for our health.

Well if you listen to the fast food companies, they would say it is not bad for you. But yet, we see them trying to include good foods like fruit and salads in their menus and they do a lot of marketing about nutrition. But if you get into the basic food like hamburgers and chicken, then even the smallest sandwich is going to give you lots of calories and lots of fat. Therefore, it is very easy to overeat. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to fastfood. I eat at these places often, because they can be inexpensive. But then again, I am fat and I am sure that is not the recipe jollygirl is looking for.

Hello jollygirl, It is a well proven fact that fast food is not all that good for health. If you look at it once in a while as a change in taste, its fine but otherwise, it is not good at all. I have recently become health conscious and I do read a lot of things about fast food. Nothing tells me that it's good for health so if you want to maintain your figure, you will have to be very selective about when to eat it, if at all.[em]cheers[\em]

Everything in right amount is good , beside that is bad . Why is fast food bad when i can make the same bad food at home and eat it :P I don't think every product at your house is home made so how u know its better then fast food . Lets say you have a garden ok but the rest of the stuff you buy from shop , how can u tell they are better then the fast food ones :) I'm more on the if i like something i eat it and i dont care what people say .
