This was an Ad on the newspaper last week. One of the famous lawyer's 5 years daughter expired. The reason behind was found to be fast food. She got so severe vomiting and pain after the food. The kid seems to be taken almost daily to the restaurant and it found that it is almost harmed the kid and finally to death. The doctors stated that kid is more infected and so the last moment was difficult to save! This makes a fear on all, the modern world makes everything fast, so the value of hygenic is totally lost!

Well i agree with you on this one. And i am so sorry about the lawyer's daughter. Fast food is completely junk food and my mom makes sure that i don't eat any such things outside anywhere. Pizzas, burgers and all such stuff i would love to eat but under the watchful eyes of my mom i can't. I am glad that she is taking such good care for me. They are slow poison that's what my mom describes them to me as that. And i always listen to my mom because she knows whats best for me. Although sometimes i find it hard myself to stay away from the fast food! Cheers!

Hi Raviteja, Thats so sweet of your mom. I can understand how much she cares you. I would say you are lucky and good son as well. But present day, even parents encourage kids to enjoy the fast food without much control or awareness. Yes we like the taste of fast food, but anything balanced is never harmful.

Hey. I agree that fast foods harm us in a lot of ways and what concerns me the most is that we don`t know exactly what they contain what the dangers are. I personally eat fast food but maybe once/twice a week but only because to save time or money. I wish we had healthier fast food chains (if that is even possible) because we are a very active society. But regarding children i don`t think they should eat there at all. Adding harmful chemicals in the body while growing does a lot more harm then it does to a developed body. What i don`t understand: why in the 21st century, when we should be very civilised, fast food chains still lure the children with toys and stuff. And the parents are to blame for falling for it

Hi Sixesburn, Very true. We never know what they prepare at fast food and letting children on daily routine will make their health really sick. Though we go advanced in all fields but major drawbacks are never seen taken more care and finally falling victims are naturally uncountable.

To much is harmful. Parents should be responsible enough of reminding their kids that vegetables and fruits are the most vital foods that should regularly be eaten. Parents should be a role model, they have to cook and prepare healthy foods for their family and not just buy or eat from fast food chain. May that lesson be learned.

Hi Christine, True we cannot blame kids alone, Parents should take more care to make sure kids dont get addict to fast foods. If they do so, try to prepare those in healthy way with vegetables and fruits. I believe Home is best restaurant than any. Am I right?

Hi Killerbullet, You are cent percent right. What we cook at home, we not just cook but we pour the love for good health and taste of our loved ones. We cannot expect the same in fast food. So prevention is better.

Hi Alex, Welcome to Mylot, hope to see you having more wonderful discussions here. Thats nice to hear you wouldnot allow your kids. Have you tried cooking those recipes of those restaurants? Kids will then never think of going out. Am I correct?

Well. anymore you have to watch especially for smaller children almost anything you eat can create a lot of problems. Even at home if something is not cooked right or all the way, or not Fresh enough it can create problems for the younger folk, and the Elderly as well. But it is true that anymore you see people that seem to be so rushed they always turn to Fast Food like from McDonalds, etc. to want to feed themselves and their kids anymore. This in turn turns to the leading cause of obesity, diabetes, etc. happening before the child is 18, and no one really stops to wonder why.

Hi Krausehome, Thats a practical answer. You worded it right! Its quite true, kids are easily infected to any stuffs done with less care. Even home food can cause them food poison. But some extent, parents take care in preparing food stuffs. But we cannot expect the same outside. This give a tension that it may even take a life of a kid. So I would agree, once or twice is ok. But on daily basis, i think its gonna have serious problem on health especially kids who have less resistive power.

I suppose fast food chains have so much money that they will hand some of it to inspectors and their food will be unsafe ot eat. There are ways to cook in a clean way and people who handle food should be cghecked often.

Hi marguicha, True after all cooking is not just thrunching someones hungry alone, it also means care for a good health. Only home can bring in such care. If restaurants bring it as priority then there is no worry.

Like everything else in this world fast food should be taken in moderation. Is it healthy?No. Do we all know this? YES. It is a personal choice to eat there and if the place has customers then it has product. People like fast food but if you feed it to yourself or your children everyday you are asking for problems. Any restaurant healthy or non healthy can have cleanliness problems. Germs and bacteria get into our food at many stages of the food game from before preparation to the setting of it on the plate.

Hi OpinionatedLady, I accept your words honestly. Its really sad that we know how unhealthy outside, but we still continue it with the name of no time. With respect to children, even little things can complicate more, so best is to cook tastier at home as most kids finds it tasty outside.

Hi fedeborgo, Can you be more in detail. Yes if we stop ourselves additive to such restaurants which we find unhealthy, then they will be cautious in proper health.
