it tastes so good, and while we're still young we can still eat it and be okay nom nom nom until i'm 30
I've recently eaten more fast food, due to my work next to my studies, which often extend past dinner time. It leaves me no choice to eat fast food often :X Sometimes as much as three times a week... It's gotten quite nasty by now (2 months), it was good at first, but now I'm longing for more normal food And I can see it on my belly too (A)
As people have said, like anything else, fast food isn't going to ruin your life, if it's only had once in a while. Personally, I have it maybe once a month...? I find that the best way to prevent myself from ordering and eating something i'll regret at a fast food place is to look at the nutrition facts. Knowing what you're about to eat can make it a lot less appealing. Even if the caloric content can be justified, (hm, 800 calories, but I didn't have breakfast, so really I can "afford" to blow half my day's calories on this slab o' grease-meat) things like 220% of daily sodium can't. Doing this the last time I was at a Wendy's, I ended up just getting a 5 piece nuggets, instead of some combo meal. As an added bonus, my GI tract thanked me for it. That stuff, even the fries, just doesn't sit well with me.
Fast food is not any kind of disaster. Believe it or not, you can actually get a lot of nutritional benefits from most of it. The main disadvantage is about the large amount of trans fatty acid you can take from fast food.
Recipe for Disaster. c: But, really, it depends on how much of the fast food you consume. Like, the guy who did the "Super Size Me" film consumed Mc. Donald's food for a month, three meals a day to see what effect the food had on the human body. I forgot exactly how much he gained, but I think it was 20-30 pounds. Don't quote me on that. xD
