Im 18, around 165 cms tall and weigh 56kilos, so im a normal weight. But i eat takeaways every weekend as im always out and about. I dont get fat but i worry that this food is going to damage my organs such as heart and lungs etc.

    In short, yes, it’s very bad for you. Watch the movie/documentary SuperSize me by Morgan Spurlock and/or read the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser for the details. Very informative.

    Yes, yout shouldn’t eat it. You have a fast metabilism so you cant see the effects. But they are there. You should eat at some other places. KFC isn’t that bad, but try not to there that much. Try watching the movie supersize me or the book fast food nation.

    I don’t believe they’re as bad as they say they are. McDonald’s is really getting banged around with things like supersize me for their success. In general, fast food is not the best thing for your body, but they’re are much worse. In my opinion, a lot of these things are ridiculed for people are unaware that they just do it to ridicule things that are widely popular in order to create some kind of problem in the world.

    yes it’s bad for you but only if you over do it, if you are one of those that constantley eat in those places. Other wise having a burger once in a while isn’t bad for you.

    yeah it isn’t too good to eat them weekly, cause they contain lots of trans fat and saturated fats which are really bad for you. once a month won’t be as bad.

    Only if you eat it a lot. If you eat it every weekend, it shouldn’t have that much of an affect. Eating it every day or every other day can make you fat and increase your risk of heart disease.

    Basically Fast Food is actually processed food. Eg, Meat Patties, cheese, sauces etc. in low cost. There are tonnes of additives, favouring and preservative added into the process to make it look better, taste better and able to have a longer shelf life.

    In-general, if you are to take anything in overdose is bad for health not only fast food. Nowadays is really hard to really watch what you are taking in, reading the labels is not enough eg. Instant coffee, Instant noodles, chocolate bars etc.

    The fast food will not do real damages to your health but too much of the chemical and additives that come with the fast food will lead to health problems. Sodium (salt), Sugar, Carbohydrates etc will lead to obesity, heart problem, kidney failure, colon cancer and high cholesterol etc.

    As for myself, i will eat burgers and fries when i have no other choices especially during travelling where by time is a issue. And i try to do more sports during my free time.

    Generally speaking, I would say, Yes, it is as bad for you as people say! However, I think that there are ways to still be able to eat fast food, as long as you are conscious about what you are eating….. four words, NO mayo, NO cheese! That in itself would cut a significant amount of fat and calories from the meal. I mean, you could still even order off the kid’s menu. It may not be as much food, but it would still fix the fast food crave you’re having. And before you order a salad, check out the calories/fat in the dressing…. it’s ridiculous! Me personally, I try not to eat any fast food, as the processed foods are purposely designed to taste good, and not be healthy for you.

    All fast food places are bad for you, not just that one, but it’s ok if you eat fast food in moderation

    Yes, the food isn’t that good for you, but it is even worse if you don’t choose your foods wisely. Also, if you choose not to eat out during the week, it is ok if you only eat out on the weekends, but, again, eat in moderation. Also, choose water or diet soda over regular soda or other sugary drinks. That’ll cut out some sugar. But, i highly recommend water over diet soda. ok, maybe i am just rambling on now………..
