several yeras ago i was fond of drinking soda, especially coca cola. untill one day i found an rticle which inroemd me that it is dangerous to drink soda becasue the take calcium of our body. starting that day i have been not drinking any soda, even free of charge. it has been 3 years i think.
i also dont eat junk food, mcd, kfc, etc.during my life span, may be just 2-3 times i eat junk food. they are not good for our body, containing high fat and lowa fiber amd nutrition, and may cause colesterol and some desease.
how about you??

I don't fast food very often. I do drink soda a lot. I haven't heard that our soda drink is harmful and dangerous. I would consider that I was no longer indeed to drink soda anymore. Anyway, thank for your information.

Yes, you're right. You will see every junk food place is full of people who would like to spend their money on junk, mostly they're rich people. I am not rich and to eat in a junk is unique things. I don't go and eat junk food as often as them. Here, they are the on rich who goes to junk food store.

No thanks I'll keep right on it. I've been healthy these past 23 years even when I eat this stuff. The only time I really don't eat it is when I'm pregnant. Lucky me I have to go 39 weeks with nearly none now.

I eat fast food about once or twice a month if that. I drink soda about once a month, more so if I'm on a deadline. I used to do it all the time, but I have bad kidneys anyway, so I had to stop drinking so much. Now I just save it up for emergencies or holidays.

I still drink soda and eat in fast foods sometimes.. but good thing there aren't really many that are near in our place right now.. I know they are bad for our body which is why I try to avoid them if I can. But I just can't avoid them if I am in a reunion or party with my family.. But I don't intake much of those unhealthy food though- there are even months where I don't eating fastfoods..

Yeah, my friends understands that I prefer juice or plain water instead of soda. So whenever I attend gatherings I try to avoid it but sometimes you can not resist the temptation of tasting it even for just a sip.

I seem to be on the go alot. Stopping for fast food is just easy and convenient. i find myself in that situation quite a bit. Drinking soda just seems to go along with fast food. It is a quick pick me up. i know that these food choices are the best for the body, but they taste so good.

sometimes I eat fast simply because I have.
they really are not very healthy but sometimes one needs a little fun.
so you just have to enjoy the food.
is so simple and you enjoy.
nice day!

hi wulania, I am not going to despute your statements because
I am no dietcian. But I truly do believe so much fast food is
not good for you. But I do occassional eat a burger for a fast
food place.. Like one every other month or so. I do not drink
soda on a regular...But every now and then I have a desire for
a grape or orange soda.. I lost my most weight when I stopped
drinking soda years ago. So I have been able to avoid them
every since I realized this.

Hi Wulania,
I drink soda everyday, and I eat fast food probably 3 or 4 times a week. While I agree that soda and fast food can be bad for you (if you drink/eat too much), I don't think they are particularly harmful in moderation. That's always been my philosophy - there's nothing wrong with these types of food or other "bad" / "junk" foods so long as we eat them sparingly, and also make efforts to eat at a balance (and of course exercise). I think separating "bad/off limits" food from "good/healthy" food could lead to intense cravings of these "bad foods" or alternatively, lead to a bit of an obsessive attitude towards food (i.e. "I can't eat a piece of birthday cake, it's got too much sugar/fat"), but to each their own.

I am fond of eating fast food and drinking soda. I don't do it a lot, and not regularly, but I do like it when I have the chance to.
I know that it isn't healthy, and maybe my life span has already been cut short because of this, but I don't let it stop me from enjoying it. I'm sure that everything isn't good for the body if it's taken so much, but I wouldn't deny myself of such simple joys.

Usually, out of convenience, I might stop by the fast food joint near my work to get one burger and a cup of soda, but not frequently though. Lately, I haven't eaten any junk food at all. I usually stay home and my mom cook for me. So, I guess that I am safe from those unhealthy junk food.

I avoid soda as much as possible because I get urinary tract infection when I drink too much. I love junk foods but I cut my intake because it contains a lot of MSG and salt. I don't understand why we love those that give danger to our health.
