I've started eating there a bit more since they started adding more healthy stuff, like salads and more grilled stuff, but I try to stay away from the fastfood. And yes it is that bad for you. Fastfood is loaded with transfats, which are bad, Super bad. They raise bad cholesterol while lowering good choleterol and they also increase the chances of certain types of heart disease and cancers. Transfats are not natural...they are basically vegetable and animal oils infused with hydrogen. The body doesn't know what to do with them, so they make the system go all wonky and that's when they clog up your arteries and also add to your gut and thigh flab.
And then there's all the chemicals that are in it, like good ole MSG, which has been linked to be one of the causes of everything from asthma to high blood pressure, to cancer and even Alzheimer's.
I'm not saying to stop eating there altogether...hell I'm a healthnut and even I say that you gotta live sometimes...but it would be smart to at least cut back or start making better choices when you eat there, like a grilled chicken sandwich instead of crispy, the apple dippers instead of fries, a couple of regular burgers instead of a Big Mac, a salad rather than McNuggets, etc.

i think that it is a high calorie contained meal, that tastes good but if you eat it to much you will gain some Waite. so I'm not saying Don't eat at McDonald's I'm saying only eat there about 1 time a week!

How bad does he say it is? There is a tendency to exaggerate.
Certainly it's not the most healthy food in the world, but a meal every once in awhile isn't likely to kill you. Of course, most of the food is definitely high in fat and low in many necessary nutrients. Daily meals there are probably not the recipe for the best nutrition, and people with obesity problems would be well advised to avoid fast food altogether if possible.

okay let me put it right on the table ARE YOU FAT?
DO YOU HAVE HIGH Cholesterol? ARE YOU A VEGETARIAN? ARE YOU ALLERGIC? Then what is the problem? i think McDonald's is only bad for you if you let it be. like if you eat there everyday for 5 years yeah then its probably bad. once or twice a month, that's not bad. but its there for people who cant stop and cook a meal. not for ppl to get all fat and cholesteroled up.(is cholesteroled even a word?)

I haven't in years. I have a 5yr old son and up until last weekend he used to call it poo in a box as this is what we portrayed it to be to him as we explained to him about the large salt content and how the toys you get aren't of great quality. We did take him as all his friends go and as children do he was getting curious. It turned out he didn't like it anyway so we won't be going again. I'm sure once in a blue moon wont hurt but on a regular basis it is very health damaging.

He is right, and I'll bet he has eaten there from time to time.
McDonalds is convenient - not good. A standard road-side
transaction is usually less than 90 seconds excluding time in the line.
Just recognize what you are buying. If you don't need the
convenience, do not buy food there. It will eventually kill you.
They write books about that now!

I eat there sometimes. I don't think its bad like in moderation. But if you eat there like everyday it probly isn't too good for you! I eat there some but not all the time!

No, it really isn't bad for you if you eat it in moderation. I eat there a few times a year (mainly because I worked there when I was in school....).

its bad for you but as long as you don't eat it to often then that should be okay.
