the fat in this kind of food are very dangerous for the body, but is delicious for other side. What the people have to think is that kind of food have to be eat with care and a few times, not always.

According to a recent, large nutrition survey, American adults and children who eat fast food meals more frequently tend to consume more calories, fat and sodium. They receive less of several vitamins and minerals. In fact, on a typical day, almost a third of children and teens eat at a fast food restaurant. These individuals consume almost 200 extra calories, including nine more grams of fat and more than two extra tablespoons of sugar, than those who don’t eat at fast food restaurants.
People who eat more often at fast food restaurants are more likely to be overweight. A study that followed adults for 15 years found that changes in their fast food habits were directly related to changes in their weight. Those who ate fast food more than twice a week throughout the study gained an extra 10 pounds. They were twice as likely to develop health problems related to insulin resistance than those buying fast food less than once a week.
