How are fast foods bad?!
Question: I need ideas for my essay!!!
Answers: I need ideas for my essay!!!
Fast food is just food that is labled fast!! Because most of it is dropped either on the grill to cook fast or in the deep fryer, filled with hot veggie oils, it also cooks very fast.
A Hamburger for instance is a complete meal if accompanied by a milkshake!!! Yes, it has 2 servings of bread on it and the milkshake is 3 or 4 servings. But otherwise it is meat, salad, some sauce and bread. the milk shake is more milk than anything else!!
What is bad about a full meal you can hold in one hand?? Nothing at all.
Tacos?? the same thing! a tortilla - one bread, meat, salad, cheese. what is wrong with that??
In the 70s catsup, mustard, mayo and pickles were labeled veggies by the USDA for school lunch service!!! HUH??? Yes, they were!!
What are french fries?? potatos that just happen to be dunked in near burning oil! This way the oil doesn't really penetrate the potato piece. What is the big deal??? You would get more fats in the non fat salad dressing you put on a salad at most restaurants!!
The only thing I see wrong with fast foods from say McD's is that families grab and run! they don't sit and eat together and discuss the day's events. Eating on the run is not a good plan for enjoying foods.
My nickle's worth!!
Grease, they put ketchup, MAYO, Cheese, the bun has alot of carbs. Most people get Fries that are deep fried in grease and overly salty
fast food is bad for you because its processessed!! you NEED carbs and MAYO is a good source of fat. the other answer was correct about the grease. fast food uses all the processed parts and is not healthy at all
It contains lots of saturated fats that contain LDL these contribute to brioging lipids to your cells.
But to be more general fast foods contain fats which contain twice as much energy as carbohydrates yuor normal energy source. You only require 50g of fat a day anything else is stored for insulation purposes, as is its primary function, but fats such as cholesterol contribute thus to artherosclerosis, heart disease, and obesity.
Fast foods are bad for many reasons. to name a few:
Higher fat content than what you'd get if you made it at home
Alot of sodium is added to food
More preservatives
Can cause depression (a high fat diet leads to weight gain, under nourishing yourself with vitamins, and it's a hit to your wallet...who doesn't need money these days?)
those are just what i can think of. i reccommend checking out the movie Super Size Me. it would be a great documentary to watch and maybe give you a better idea of what to write.
